I'm pissed.I'm pissed because people think you're stupid, couldn't make it into taking something science related, that's why you take commerce, as unglamorous as it sounds.
I think the colleges in Malaysia give accounting a bad name. Any ah beng and ah lian can do business. Or even medicine, law and pharmacy.
Even ah hua who can't string a proper sentence in english can become an accountant.
She says:" hELLo ^-^ mY

(phew! that was sure hard to type)
That's why in Malaysia, people who are not up to date, backward, and basically just don't know better think doing a commerce degree is only for losers, cos doing science obviously makes you appear smarter.
And they give you the look. And instantly label you as the BLACKSHEEP of the family since your family members are all in the science field. And you, are the stupid one.
I'm pissed because I'm subjected to someone's judgement, where his/hers stupidity reigns over he/she. They think that you did business because you couldn't get into biotech/foodtech/some degree in science. And that statement has never sound more wrong. Go do some reading up or whatever your puny brain can take in before you pass such comments and risk being ridiculed at!
Why? People don't even get to choose what they want to do these days anymore is it? Or does everyone have to go for the best course they can get into with whatever results they have??
That's why, when half of my conscious mind is busy defending the choice I made, the other half is still pondering if I made the right decision, or why did all these happen to me or why didn't I choose something like dentistry or pharmacy which would have been if I were to apply earlier. And I hate it because I'm affected by how people think about me. Because I think people think I'm not brainy enough for science. And I even think that I'll make myself appear better by doing something like medicine or dentistry.
Once again, I'm wondering if I made the right choice in life.
