dim sum?
I was sitting on the toilet bowl...doing my own pang sai business when I started thinking...
oh and btw...I always do my deep thinkings about life when on the toilet bowl...
So I was thinking bout me and the course I'm currently doing...Is it the right one??
While in Chemistry practical today, someone happened to ask the lecturer...who happens to be a PHD holder(who isn't?? PHD holders are like freaking everywhere)...about what our future job prospects would be like...
He was like...
"Ummmm...."
Yeah...he had no idea...
When we mentioned that if teaching is the only choice left...he was like...
"I guess so, I'm afraid..."
To add more woe to our miseries, the lecturer was a Chemistry graduate himself...
So that more or less confirms it...
I'm doing the wrong course and I'll be ending up in front of a class of youngsters teaching them a subject which I have a personal grudge on since Day 1(yes...just to refresh your mind..I've never passed Chem since Form4...I passed it in SPM and STPM though)
And then I think back to the time when I was still deciding what to do in life...
It's that fork at the end of the road...
To one end was the choice of continuing my studies...
And on the other end was the choice of coming out into the business world...
My dad had offered to give me a sum of money to start my own business...which happens to be related to cars...
So I chose the end with the studies...
There...more forks came out...and I had no idea what to do...
8-9 months later...I'm here...in Kl...it's 8pm and I'm alone at home...typing this...
And now I wonder...If I had taken the path leading towards starting my own business...would I still be alone at home on a Friday nite? With nothing better to do than to go online? Perhaps I would be out with my fellow car enthusiasts drinking the night away?? Or I would be working on another car?? which happens to be something which I am very passionate about...Or maybe I would be dealing with a failed business which will only end with me going bankrupt??
1 week into the new sem and I'm already contemplating quitting my studies to venture into the business world...It can be anything...a car shop?? a kopi-tiam?? or perhaps selling dim sum??
You see...I've just realised how important money will be to me in the future...and it will not be for my personal usage only...
No...my dad will not support me anymore...heck...I have to support him and the whole family instead...
But how can I when I'm only earning a teacher's pay??
Perhaps I should just stop leaching all my dad's money(RM30k for a 3 year course...living expenses not included) and start to do something that might have me repay my dad for his many years of supporting me...
Honestly I'm sick of studying...
so the next time you have dim sum in a new restaurant in Penang...it could just be me running it...
peace...

My advice to you would be to finish your degree first.. then decide on whether you want to do business later on. At least you don't completely waste your parents money, and look on the bright side; if your business somewhat fails you can fall back to your degree to search for a job. Win-win situation. Studying is a pain, I have to admit.
