Am I being controlled or…

All of a sudden, I’m not that optimistic any longer about my future tertiary studies… Initially, he asked me to think properly and carefully about my tertiary studies. When things were just going in the smooth direction, all the so-called-carefully-drafted plan collapsed. I feel like being implemented a chip inside my brain. I just can’t fight back, nor fight down, I can’t defend my own ideas… I already made up my mind, now you want me to change my mind? Why don’t you just do that at the first place? The perception you made isn’t totally wrong, just that I feel like being controlled now… Is it what you said is true? If so, I respect your idea and shall just obey your plan. I really hope what you said is genuine. Can someone enlighten me?

Likely future

Moments ago, I was in the midst of the higher education crossroad. Recent completion of the SPM exams had provided me a clearer pathway as to decide what and where to study. I have taken all aspects into account. And I came out with this,

If I manage to secure a place at UTM for Architecture, I’d most probably end up studying there for 6 years. For your knowledge, architecture school in Malaysia is quite inadequate and each school only takes about 100 students per year. I’ll have to compete with the rest of the candidates, including one of my friend as well. To prevent the contrary, I just enrolled at TARC. Indeed, I realized the course there to me is pretty flexible. I applied for the Dip. in Accounting. As accounting is a professional accredited course, I get the choices of either to qualify in ACCA or CIMA which I’m interested. After completing my diploma, I can also opt for a relevant degree at UTAR. In short, I’ll have 4 options after obtaining my diploma. I hope I had made a right decision.
