choices and consequencess

What am i doing here?

In between the hectic "cram" study that i do during study week, there is always a moment where i just lose it.

What the hell am i reading? What is all this crap? Why did i take accounting in the first place? Because of my parents? Because it is an in-demand skill? Or is it because there is a bigger opportunity to get as much money as i can??

Well, yes, I AM doing this for the money, but it doesn't mean that i love it!

Do i want to be an accountant? The answer: NO.

Or do i?

I can't imagine myself in the real world, taking care of other ppl's accounts - i do my own accounts actually, keeping track of all my spending and all. I kno, its sick.

Do i want to do that corporate climbing thing?? Uh, i'm not sure if i can endure it! I'm not exactly that ambitious.

I kept going over my dreams in high school. Back then, i really didn't want to enroll to any major that has business or management in it.

My father gave me freedom, but he kinda did push me into this direction, being a bank manager himself.

I remember my mother's reaction when i said wanted to be a teacher. Not so good.

I remember the chance i didn't take when i could've studied physics instead. I was already accepted in a good government university in Bandung, but instead, i came to Malaysia and studied Accounting, the most boring major i can imagine.

Initially i wanted to take engineering, but i switched to management. Initially i wanted to take Human Resource Management but i took Accounting instead. See how far i strayed from the path of my dreams??

I remember a talk i had with my father in my favorite Japanese restaurant in Bandung. I told him that if i don't become a teacher, i want to be a microbiologist and study about the environment. I want to become a scientist like the cool ones you see in movies like Independence Day or Day After Tomorrow - notice how the smart people mostly ends up to be the one who survives?

But my father said something, "Do you want to be the scientist who takes orders and work in laboratories or do you want to be the rich entrepreneur who has the power to make change? Do you want to do the change or have the power to make it happen?"

Money brings power.

I chose money. Thus, i chose accounting.

The consequences? I don't love what i do. And especially during exam times like this, i always reach a point where i practically scream:

What am i doing here??
