Annoyance

I spent my whole day at Liqian's house with Jai and Andrea. So i shall not talk about my day there cuz i was basically just using my computer, talking to them and sleeping. Heh. Something's frustrating me alot right now and i shall rant it over here. 

My dad came to pick me up earlier just now. Here's our conversation:

Daddy: Your letter come already anot?

Me: Haven't yet.

Daddy: Huh? Haven't yet ah? What is your course about?

 Me: Dance? Lol. Then some dance history and these sort of things.

Daddy: Oh so got study one ah? After this can go Uni one anot?

Me: Of course la, it's a diploma what.

Daddy: Ngee ann dont have this course meh?

Me: No -.-

Daddy: So what you going to do after dance? Instructor?

Me: NO i can't teach. Performer.

Daddy: Performer? Now can perform la, old already perform what? -shows a sacarstic example-

Me: Aiya by that time i'm sure i'll have money. I can open my own dance studio what!

Daddy: Ya la you can open your dance studio but who teach?

Me: HIRE PEOPLE LA!

Daddy: Then nobody wanna teach how? If you can teach got back up good what.

Me: Eh? If i teach i also need stamina right. So what's the difference!? I rather perform.

Daddy: *blabbers dont know what shit. my mood got bad so nothing was going into my ears*

I'm annoyed. I know he hates the idea of me choosing Lasalle. I knew from 2 years ago when i said i wanted to go Lasalle. I asked my parents permission first before even enquiring about Lasalle through email. At that point of time, he gave me a disgusted look, like he was thinking there's was no future for me if i entered Lasalle. My mom probably persuaded him in a way or so, and he told me to go ahead and research on it.

I've said it before in my previous post where I talked about me wanting to go Lasalle 2 years back. But just to refresh your memory for the sake of this post, i shall summarise the post.

I gave up the idea of going Lasalle because i thought i wasnt cut out for it and i assumed i wouldnt be accepted. (Now that i think of it, I AM FATED WITH LASALLE.) Then, Andrea called me up on the day of Lasalle's Open house and asked if i wanted to go. I said yes and I signed up for the audition because they said whoever who went for the open house that day, the audition fees would be waived. There was no harm trying. So i did.

On the day of the audition, which was yesterday, my dad wished me "good luck" with a very beautiful smile. I'm currently having doubts on that smile he gave me. Was he wishing that i wouldnt get in? After i got in, my mom told him about it and he didnt congratulate me. When he came home that night, he still didnt congratulate me. He only asked, "How you get into Lasalle?" and "Why you like not happy like that?" He asked me the second question because i was already irritated at his first question, hence i gave him an irritated look and answer.

Seriously?! What kind of question is that? "HOW YOU GET INTO LASALLE?" C'mon i'm serious. I hate how he is always saying how he supports that i should do whatever i love and then when i am, he starts giving me suspicious and doubtful looks, like i'll never succeed in life. Yo father, do that more. Cuz it just fucking gives me even more determination to do even better.

That leads me to my next point; Generation Issues.

I know in the past, being Doctors and Lawyers were called successful. Being teachers and accountants were not as successful. & Being food sellers and salesperson were just unsuccessful. It's a different story now. Doctors and lawyers are still successful, but do you think everyone can be them? If everyone become doctors and lawyers, whose gonna take up the other jobs? Teachers & accountants are earning so much more right now. & don't you dare look down on food sellers. They might make millions of dollars if their food is tremendously good. Sales person? Hello they earn big bucks too. Jobs you think won't succeed in the past, IT WILL NOW. So don't be so irritating and look down on people so easily.

Parents from the previous generation need to know that we cannot be compared to their times. Their favourite sentence are always "Last time our pocket money only $2 leh. Now give you $10 very good already ok." Excuse me, you said yourself, "LAST TIME". Last time you can buy a drink for 50cents. Try giving your kids $2 to go out. You can't even buy a freaking meal. Even a burger is more than $2. SO WHAT ARE YOU COMPARING? "I only have a handphone at 20 years old leh. You 10 years old have handphone already." What the hell. Last time were handphones even needed?! Now you try going around without phones. You might be able to survive for a week but after that, you'll suffer. 

Ah my main point. Parents should just follow up with the world if they want to continue living. Seriously, they can't go back to the past no matter how much they love the past.

I've chosen my path. I'm prepared. I'm not gonna let my freaking father pyscho me out of my decision on this one. NEVER.
