On his ambitions....

Abang: Mama, when I grow up I want to be a paleontologist but do you think I can do that when I grow up?

Mama: Why do you ask that?

Abang: Because there are so many constructions going on today! I know, I want to be an engineer

Mama: that's good too. What do you want to develop?

Abang: underwater train! It can take us to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia, France and when you go on vacation, you don't have to take aeroplanes already! The underwater train is so fun you know Mama because you get to see underwater sea creatures in your journey!

He also wants to be a cashier - because he thinks the money belongs to him, a bus driver because he is fascinated by buses and he says doctors are gross because they deal with blood.
