Pondering about my future recently. And my future career. What would I be in 10 years' time? Or rather, after I grab a degree from uni?
Since Form 4, people around start asking and inquiring about this subject. It's a natural phenomena of course, among students this stage. I have always given a vague response, trying to avoid it. Not that I did not care or worry about my further studies. Honestly, I habitually go into brown study thinking about this matter...and never came out with a decisive answer.
(Malaysian quote~"What to dooo??") I am impassive about ambitious fields like medical and engineering etc, which unfortunately, are well-loved by parents because of the desirable salary, not to mention the prestige that comes along. So what is it I have the zeal for? Guess quite a number of you know already~
INTERIOR DESIGN!
How I wish I can pursue my dream job which has emerged since my childhood days. Well, not exactly perhaps. Cause I was only drawing floor plans back then, seldom figured about the interior decorating and designs.
Right. I love doing this kinda sketches since I was in primary 3. Not so frequently now though, I think I get more keen on interior design as time pass. I mean, isn't it fun and challenging to create a pleasing and comfy space in accordance to a client's needs? And to see the final results would be thrilling! If things go well of course...
And now, for the big big BUT. My parents, even my grandmother, gave me a blinding red light for studying interior design. I remembered the day I summoned my wee courage to spill to my mum regarding it. She was driving me to Physics tuition, last year I think. And my, how she reacted...
*cut in*..suddenly thought of the book I read yesterday..the book that belongs to Jenny's friend's friend. There was a part in it that goes something like that. <<- It was as if she was saying "Hiroshima called. They said you just bombed them.">> It made Jenny laughed overboard.
Okay. Point is, the part somehow fits in in my condition that day..oops, better not let mummy sees this. XD (And she just came standing right behind, yikes~) Anyway, I was bombarded with the countless disadvantages of becoming an interior designer. She even mentioned how only lazy people like me will choose to take up this kind of path..I could not helped being a bit mad at that instance. Thought that the statement was biased..gee, reminds me of Critical Thinking..(Yeah~I got high marks this time!)
So..conclusion is: I can't study Interior Design. Reasons? My parents are my financial source. My parents strictly forbid me to study it. I can't go against them.
How woeful. Hope I can keep an open mind and focus on whatever I study in uni... Probably engineering. Sniff. The only way to comfort myself is that I can practise interior designing in my future home-to-be!! And I am gonna have a lovely reading room with lots of yummy books!
