Broken Dreams

Okay so after a lonnnnng time , I'm finally back with a new post . I'm suppose to have a new post every Monday but because my laptop was sent for repair last week that was why I did not post anything . So today is not gonna be an interesting post , it's gonna be hell wordy because I'm so so angry right now that I'm gonna rant . There's a test tomorrow and I really should be studying right now but I'm too angry to even do anything .

Okay so it all started like weeks ago when I finally start to think about my future and what course I'm gonna take in Poly ( My family was hoping that I would go JC but its not my thing , I totally have no interest in studying and I can't handle stress ) . I decided to talk to dad about what course I would want to take and I also did some research . My dad told me to follow my passion and do what I like . I've considered the courses like Accounting and Finance , Business just really something that would be useful for me . But honestly my passion has always been baking . So I did somemore research and realise there's a course called Baking and Culinary Science and it's finally what I've been looking for ! So I went ahead and scroll down and went to see what kind of career I could achieve if I took this course . Apparently these are the few jobs : Baking technologists , Junior Chefs , food product R&D executives or food safety Officer . And I'm like I don't want to be a food safety officer or have this kind of crappy job that I didn't like . I want to learn skills in baking , not some stuff you learn about food in theory form  . From there I went to check if there was any baking schools in Singapore and I found it . To get a diploma I just need 5.3 MONTHS  and I'm done . It means at the age of 18 I could start working already . This sounds good to me because if I get to work early I could get promoted at a young age and also start earning money so that I can have enough to support my family and at the same time open a bakery in the future . I was already sure of what I was going to do in my life so I went to tell Dad all about it and you know how parents always telling you that it's OUR life and we should decide what we should do with it ? Thats what my Dad said and when I told him about what I found and what I've decided to do , he told me that this course is useless and if I fail I have no education to fall back except my O levels . Look , if I have a passion in something I would work hard for it . Baking is something I LOVE to do ! I don't understand why he had to make it sound so ugly ( well , he said a whole bunch of other stuff which I'm not gonna say because its inappropriate to be on the internet ) . He told me he wanted me to take something to do with Finance/Business .

THEN WHY IN THE FIRST PLACE TOLD ME TO FOLLOW MY PASSION ? 

And then after the entire incident he told me I could choose what ever I like and said if I suffer it's not his problem . He's obviously gonna be mad if I chose that course . I know he is worried about my future and whether I'm able to earn money next time but why don't he trust me for once ? Why don't he let me try ? I really wanna open a bakery , I want to be a baker . I want to make my grandma proud . But why does everybody asking me to do something that could earn alot of money ? Is money the only thing that matters ? Will money make us happy ? Will driving a huge ass sports car make you happy ? OR would you like to do a job that YOU LIKE and come home happily spending time with you loved ones . I would rather get a low paying job and do what I like , rather than doing something I hate and earning a huge load of money .

Singaporeans are too busy earning money that they don't even care about their happiness ... Its sad to see that everything in this world is all about money . What about the kampong days ? When everyone was so happy even WITHOUT money ! I think everybody should take some time and think what really makes you happy ...
