Went back home yesterday after work, expecting to get to play Caeser and build an empire with strong armies, high income and a big trading port but that didn't happen. Dad gotta involve me with a discussion regarding my siblings future and it turn out to be the suckiest thing for the week.

See, both my siblings just got their N level result so they gotta pick their courses. My brother with a-lil-bit-higher-than-average-result had a hard time deciding. He wanted to take on the biz course but my dad is totally oppose of his sons to take on a course that lead to a job that you'll be stuck in the office all day long. Shocking thing is, my brother, who spend his days at home in front of the computer killing bad guys, doesn't like IT stuff. Applied Health and Sciences courses are pretty ridiculous for Nitec so it's a big no no too. So it all narrowed down to engineering courses.

This gonna be a long entry and I'm trying my best to summarise the event. I'm typing this during work hour mind you. Stop for a moment, try to digest then carry on. Don't wanna read on then fuck off.

Anyway, my brother already selected the courses he wanted from the first choice till down to the 10th choice. Wasn't easy. I'm sure you faced that before. The dilemma shit all that was sure torturing. My dad talk through his choices saying that most courses he pick aren't good (as in low pay, co. hiring foreigners instead etc). During the whole speech, I was observing my brother whose eyes first turned red, followed by head hang low then covered his face then then then, he brokedown!

Shit! Let's digest the story first. If it's dull, then fuck off.

I know why he cried. I've been there. He was frustrated and don't know what to do. So with my help, my dad manage to write down up to his 6th choice. My brother choose the rest himself, unwillingly. The worsest part of all is, his top few courses are all somewhere in the west or north side. He gotta endure the ridiculous long journey for 2 years, if he's selected there that is. Me, as the eldest, impossible not to feel bad.

*Sigh*

Moving on to my sis. Let me put it in the nicest way, her result is way-below-average . Only can take up courses with "Completed N Level" and those courses blow. Whoever came up with these courses deserve a barbarian great double axe across the skull. Anyway, her choices of courses are ultimately limited and she don't wanna retake her N. My dad did some serious thinking and finally came up with the arrangement of choices. Where ever she may end up, I hope that's the best for her.

Almost there.

I kinda blame on my dad too. He gave us the whole speech on how fucking tough the future is in the working world. It screwed up my mind and I'm scared. Then I remembered, I'm doing good for my Wireless Tech course and will be taking my diploma after NS.

All the best to me.

Urgh, recalling and typing this entry drain me away. Y'know, like Kryptonite. Yeah.

When will my Foo Fighters T-shirt gonna arrive?!

Fenderson out...
