My dream of becoming a star

As graduation looms, I begin to ponder the future career path I want to take. And I've decided I want to be.. a star!

Knowing me and how I'll best survive in the industry, I've decided to start out as a singer in a group. But I can't survive in an all-girls group or if it's just me and all guys (I think, though I'd pretty lavish that), so it's gonna be a mix.

Here's my career path for the next 50 years.

Start as a singer in a 3 guys 2 girls group, based in Taiwan and set to expand to Asia, and then the rest of the world.
Group can sing (including acapella), dance, break dance, rap, beat box, play instruments. (so talented right??)
“五个人感情非常好,团队永远不会拆散”
Group members are effectively bilingual.

Group dynamics is (or are?) very important to me. We must be able to play and work together like best friends, respect each other, understand each other, and even know what each other wants without having to say it out. Keyword: Chemistry.

Expand into acting in idol dramas and singing duets with other singers, sometimes guest starring in their MVs.
Endorse products as a group and as individuals, earn lots of money, eat lots of good food then get endorsed by slimming products companies :)
Guest sing in other people's concerts.
Do some hosting stints here and there.
Appear in all of the Taiwan variety shows and spike ratings for each episode.
Become media darlings for our fun and unpretentious attitude.
Build a strong reputation for our work ethics and talent (how could I leave that out?)
Love every minute of it cos I'm with four of my bestest buddies (the rest of the group)

Maybe and hopefully win awards. I even prepared a segment of my speech for Singapore's 金曲奖.
“我也要谢谢我的父母。 他们今天有来。Hi mum, hi dad, thanks for deciding to spare my life when I told you I want to be a singer. I owe today's achievements... and my life, to you."

Write lyrics for our own and other people's songs.
Compose our own songs and sometimes other people's.
Maybe choreograph dance for others sometimes.

Graduate to "legend" level with really expensive fees for appearances.
Act in movies and musicals as a hobby.

Is there anyone who wants to sign me up yet???

I need to sing in NDP 2010!!
