i have promised myself several things.
among of them are:

1. I'll never learn accounting voluntary. (after the experience from KH - Kemahiran Hidup)
2. I'll never straighten my hair.

thats basically it. if you know me at all, you would know that none of that was kept.

the first point.
accounting
what happen? friends have asked me. i was quite against accounting while i was in form 4 and 5.
well. i also don't know. i decided that i like it after taking it in CPU (Canadian Pre-University) and had gotten 90% for it .
i didnt want to do science after what i got in SPM
economics wasn't so bad actually. at first. then it got more complicated with a hopeless teacher. tambahan, i only got 75% at CPU. so Neh!
arts: don't even think of it. what could i do? design? besides the bedroom that i have in my head, i do not have any inspiration.
so what was left?
accounting?
finance?
IT?
Mass Com? NO. too shy.

i did thought of doing speech and language therapy.
however, for that i would need Biology.
me + science = chaos. so tak jadi loh.

actually one of my first choice was to be a teacher. but i don't know what happen. have to go through lots of government stuff i think.

then i wanted to do hotel management. but NO my parents don't like. why? well...

1. late hours
2. work on holidays
3. overwork
4. underpaid - i guess that was factor number one, they scared that they won't get enough from me when i start work
   
5. scared that i would 'die' in the process
   

therefore CANNOT. so accounting was my last choice. i guess i shouldnt have gave up the speech and language therapist. but when i made up my mind (about doing SLT), it was already in august. in second semester of CPU. it was too late to change subjects and i don't want to stay for another semester just because of bio. i might do it as a second degreeee though. that is when and if i finish this degree and have found a stable job. or maybe when im a housewife (if im ever going to be one)

now that i've mention that, actually my very first dream job was to be a homemaker/housewife.
think about it..

• free time
• kids
• tv
• books
  

maybe it doesn't sound very appealing to u. but it does to me. i was thinking very hard about what i want to do when i grow up. this was when i just started secondary school. i needed a job where i could still watch tv and read my books and no studying =) i thought a teacher would be cool but i would still have homework (marking books, preparing lessons, preparing exams etc). i thought of being a librarian. however, later in CPU i found out that i would still have to study to become one. because elena's sister works at Taylor's library and she told me that her sis has some sort of degree (or something) and i was like wah! u need a degree to work in a library. also, i wouldnt have time to read books. i would have to stock and stack up books instead of reading them. then i thought of opening a bookshop. but malaysians don't like reading. i would need money in order to continue reading. so no can do.

then i came up with a perfect one: homemaker/housewife
i would have time to read and arrange my time according to my needs () not bad huh. the only problem was that i would still have to do housework. so i changed it:

a rich homemaker/housewife =)

then i'll get a maid to do the cleaning part.
so i don't get it why some people do not want to stay at home. they want to work instead. working is so boring. u go to work. do working stuff. eat lunch. then back to work. come back. its not bad la coz after coming back u can watch tv and do stuff but there is late hours and early mornings. one more + thing is that there is usually no homework. this doesnt apply to my dad though.
so a stay at home mum would be so much cooler.
n i thought i can also open a nursery day care centre. to earn more money =) however with that there can be more problems: i have to work on weekends too. most likely.

so back to being a rich homemaker/housewife!

but sadly i couldnt get married by 17 so i had to choose something else. its a pity. i would also need to go through drastic measures (losing weight etc) in order to get a rich and good husband.

therefore, the only other choice was accounting. sigh..

second point.
straightening hair
well..i don't know what to say. the fact that my hairdresser keep pushing me to do it. so that my hair would be nice and flat and not kembang. mum was the decision maker. she said yes. so i spent my three hours sitting in a chair reading while letting people do something to my hair. the first few days was horrible as i was not suppose to tuck in my hair, wash my hair. yuck.

but the effect was cool my hair was really flat and nice.
yeah so thats it.

now im going to make another 'vow' and see how long could i keep it:

1. I'm not going to colour my hair.

lets just see..

i've forgotten to add something. something that hj said reminded me.

my dad is an accountant.
i never thought i would be like my dad. its incredibly weird. now people are saying im following my father's footsteps.

well..there's one thing that i would like to expose. my dad actually wanted to do law. however, tak jadi so he switch to accounting. (i think)

so i guess people fall back into accounting when what they want to do does not jadi. true?

my mum was a nurse.
i also thought of being a nurse at some point but my mum said it's very hard work. then when i was older i realize i had to study medicine too, so no no no.
