When I was in primary school every year towards the beginning of the school term, on the first week whereby teachers got to know pupils and we got to know our new classmate and the teachers had us either write or asked each student their ambitions – what they wanted to be when they grew up.

I don’t know what was the real purpose of the whole exercise, to be honest. At the age of 7 or 8 years old, I can tell you most kids would put down jobs like Doctor, Lawyer, Policeman or even Astronaut.

Standard answer as expected.

None of us put down real-life jobs like painter, construction worker, receptionist, hostess, or pirated vcd entrepreneur.

So why Doctor, Lawyer and Policeman? I really not sure. But for my class, when we asked to give our ambition, we would go something like this:

Teacher: So what is your ambition and why?

Student A: I want to become a policeman so I can catch all the bad guys.

Student B: I want to be a doctor so I can save lives

Student C: I want to become a lawyer. Mummy says it earn a lot of money.

Me: My dream is to become a teacher. I want to make a difference, just like you have done in my life, Miss Chan.

In reality, I really want to salesman but not ordinary salesman, mind you. It's more like underwear salesman.

Why you might ask?
Why do I like underwear so much.

You see, when you are 7 or 8 years old I'm sure you have a hero deep inside your heart. My hero was Ultraman.

So what do Ultraman and I like underwear got to do with each other?

When I was young, I always act like my hero...killing all the monsters. To be my hero you got to look him him, right?

You try putting your underwear over your head,..you will looked like Ultraman alright.
