Post your ambitions here. Yes, even if you're working you should have some dream right?
Mine is to open a ;D video + computer game shop ;D hohoho given the nowadays "CD-Key" system, un-piratable games for gamecube, X-Box GBA etc, I should get quite a sweet profit ;D ;D ;D
I can't wait to open my video game shop hoohoohoo you all must come and buy from me ah...

Cool =) Ambitions are a cool thing to talk about.
My ambition? Some people might be able to figure out.
Yes, Film, Sound and Video. I'm doing more self studying now, and SPPV has been a perfect oppertunity to push myself to the limit. <br> I intend to finish NS and maybe get a job in a TV-Station, most probably MediaWorks and maybe do my own movies (Thats my ultimate goal). After i'm freed from SPPV, i'd like to do up a mini movie myself. If in the meantime, someone can come up with a decent script, I can try to visualise it and maybe turn it real. No sci-fi stuff though, no funding =).
I've had other ambitions when i was younger though. Being a Network Administrator, Musician (my mum still screws me over this for giving up music. "You've got the talent and the creativitiy blah blah blah"), owning my own lan shop and even being a Sound Engineer or DJ. But I've set my goal straight now, and thats in Film. Steven Spielberg and George Lucas remains as my heroes since i was young till now. (ET, Jurassic Park, Star Wars series)
Anyone intend to become a professional para dancer *roflol*
Cheers and Good Health
PS: People like me will do everything in my own power to make sure that piracy will stay alive. Don't ask how, ask why =) Computer software, no matter how protected can always be reverse engineered or somehow decrypted. Making money from games is not the main revenue game stores make. Selling PCs/Consoles are the main income. Games have a rather low profit margin (been in this biz before) unfortunately. Not as high as Consoles anyway. Not trying to throw you off Saiko, I belive that if your passion is games, then owning a store of games and consoles has no err in it =) I'll support you =)

Well my ambition....... Which is way back during the old days, when i was onli 7 yrs old, i have already dreaming of being a soccer player... And more or less, to bring the world cup back hm (Quite impossible hah..... Whahahaha!!!!!!!! ) But till to the backing of my parents, i dun tink i have a possibility in there. They always sae one word over and over, which i tink all singaporeans grown-up kids will noe(especially in my case where i was born in a well educated family, with all my relative going or gradurated fr gd sch, except mi and my sis). Heehee...... So no need to sae more. Then i got a tinking of being a singer. (Heehee..... Looks like all my ambition are BIG hah..... Hahahaa.....) Actually i do have the same background as William, when my mother always sae " Shouldn't have quit ur music, wad a waste of talent blah blah blah....." Haha...... "High 5 William..." But actually i tink the onli thing that stop mi fr going into this singing career is becoz of my shyness.... I dun even dare to sing in front of my frens, so wad to u tink leh.... Heehee..... Then if all this fail, then too bad, design games like final fantasy... Going into a multimedia course now, so i tink this is more realistic lah, haha....... Till then, hope everyone succeed in wad ever they are doing..... Ps: Btw nice pic u have there sky, how u do that??

Well William... its true, piracy will always be there but...
- CD-Keys prevent multiplayer for pirated games ,and original computer games sell very fast today.
- Gamecube uses sort of an MD. Thus it cannot be pirated. The X-Box disc is microsoft exclusive. Also cannot be pirated as no one can get the disc. GBA GBC, even better, catridge, cannot pirate.
- If you're in the gaming scene, you'll meet the insane star wars resident evil pokemon MGS FF etc fans... and most of these people buy original games
- I'm only 15, mind. By the time I grow up, there probably shouldn't be an "economic crisis/slowdown/whatever" so video and computer games demand should rise.
- I'm planning to open the shop at a shopping centre developing soon, next to the Tanah Merah MRT station, which is a damned strategic postion because... On the EAST of the shopping centre, is a condominium style terrace(rich people)on the NORTH are big Terrace/Semi-Ds(rich people), on the WEST is a high rise condominium(rich people), and on the SOUTH is the MRT station(more people)
- selling the video games cheaper than any other shop by buying more from the wholesale will allow my shop to own all others. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
- if you buy from me, I'll sell you original price. That means I won't be earning your money. (if I bought from wholesale $30, I dun sell you $49,90 like everyone else. I just sell you $30. Get it?)
- Big Thanks William. Don't worry, I have confidence in my business.

Have Faith Saiko, i'm not doubting your business ability =)
From what I can see, you have the potential businessman ability. I hope you succeed.
Hmm, one thing I disagree though, friends and business are seperate issues. If the Buying Price is 30 bucks, and your SRP is $49.90, just sell it to me at 45. I'm happy with that. How can your friends support you if you sell all at that price? =P
I forgot to add one more, and thats being a Stand up comedian. Unfortuantely, the jokes I make can only be understood by the people who actually understand cheemer english. Most of the MS people will understand, but ah bengs definately won't =)
Cheers

Pilot. Going over to the states to get a degree in Flight during July 2003.
Was thinking of Mass Comm., if I had carried on modelling could have tried picking that up. That's what I'll try before leaving for USA, give it a shot for once.

Remember that Caltex advertisement with a kid and some golf events? You don't? Never mind, here's what I feel:
Long-term ambition: Be able to graduate from university with a honours degree.
Mid-term ambition: Be able to graduate from university.
Short-term ambition: Be able to get past first semester.
As for Para Para, I know that nowadays there are less people dancing, but I really do hope that there would still be this lot of us dedicated enough to carry on dancing.
Oh yes, to be able to get a girlfriend would be nice too. *LOL*
