Before I get into today's topic, I just wanna let you know that I'm currently freaking obsessed with Parachute's Forever And Always (I am listening to it as I am typing this). Ermergerd. This song is freaking good. It's about a couple. The girl was waiting for him but then she got a call asking her to go to the hospital asap. Before the guy died, she borrowed some rings and said their vows by his hospital bed. Unfortunately, the guy died after saying his vows. OMG. So sad. Let me have my moment. /wails uncontrollably/ lolol. The song lyrics are super sweet though. "And he said I want you forever, forever and always. Through the good and the bad and the ugly. We'll grow old together, forever and always." T_T
Okay back to the topic! So a few days back, we had a relative gathering (grandmother's chinese death ann.). One of my relatives asked me "Where are you going to study?". I happily answered: "Sunway.", thinking to get positive feedback. Well, firstly, I was too naive to even think that my relatives will agree with me. Secondly, why wasn't I prepared for negative feedback? He immediately went berserk and started saying things like : "WHY SUNWAY?! It's so expensive! What if you come back and start demanding to buy an LV bag, iPhone 5, or stuff like that?" My facial expression changed just as he mentioned "LV bag".
I answered:"Sunway has a good accounting course." which of course wasn't good enough to defend my choice of college. He said,"WHO SAID SO?!" in the most annoying tone I've ever heard. Err seriously? I have already done enough research about accounting courses. And I am one thousand and one percent sure of my choice. Why do you even bother to comment so much when you obviously know nothing about the course I've chose? Seriously? Why do you have to be so annoying? Sunway has the fastest route to finish CAT-ACCA. And along the way, I could even get an Oxford Brookes degree for accounting (an exit route if I can't cope with completing ACCA. but of course I'm hoping for the best and finish the course successfully lah). I know other colleges may have the ACCA course as well but of course I'd choose the what I think it's the best for myself. You might think that I sound like a spoiled brat but hey, the price for the whole course is reasonable. And if my SPM result is good enough, I might even have a scholarship for CAT.
Before commenting anything that might make you sound like an idiot, please consider the fact that I'm not the kind of person who anyhow chooses courses and colleges please. I'm not saying that I know everything here, but hello at least I know my research. I definitely know it's not easy finishing the course. Hey, what course is ever easy? Every course has it's own difficulties. I know where I stand and I will do my very best, that's for sure okay.
What's with the LV bag statement though? Yes, college life can be very tough and I'd have to be careful with choosing my peers. Or else I'd be heavily influenced and can never get back to the old me. I must be true to myself and never give in too easily to people. Because once you go bad, you never go back. I know that studying at Sunway has its consequences, since Sunway Pyramid is like only 7 minutes away lol. Plus the peer pressure there is quite high. Then again, it is also very wrong and stereotypical of you to assume that EVERY SINGLE Sunway student is all about materialism. And hey, you are questioning my mentality here. You think I am someone who is easily influenced by peers? Bij please. I have gone through high school without being a total bitch. The influence in college is higher but I have my friends back in Melaka to help me out if I ever turn in a total materialistic bitch who doesn't care about her studies. I put my infinite trust in them to turn me back. As the picture above, "Mentality is everything." I will keep that in my mind. I will stay positive about things.
If I ever turn into a bitch, I will open up my blog and read this post. This blog post is also for the future me. Celine, please stay true to yourself. Stay true to all your friends who love you. Stay true for your family members who support you. Stay true because you are strong enough to do so. And I trust that you made the choice for the better of your life and not for others.
I guess this is the end of my rant post. I can stand up for myself if I want to. By judging the length of this post, I know I have made my stand. I don't have to satisfy everyone just because of their unfair judgement. No, I'm not really mad about it anymore. Why sacrifice my own happiness when their comments are just 浮云(directly translated as "floating clouds", which means that they don't matter.)? In conclusion, I respect everyone's opinions and constructive criticism, but only if they make sense. Other than that, your comments aren't needed. Thank you.
Oh and, Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
Cheers for better and prosperous things in life!
