Standing at the crossroads

You know how they always say, "Dreams can come true" and when you see other people's dreams coming true, suddenly, you have this hope in your heart that someday yours will too.
Then you start to dream ambitious and actually work hard to achieve it.

Then one day, your parents ask you, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" It wasn't a random question you ask a 5 year old anymore, it has become the deciding question.
10 years ago, I would've answered "A Baker."
5 years ago, I would've said "A writer."
3 months ago, I would've told you with my utmost confidence "A physiologist/sports psychologist."
Today, I have no idea.

I'm standing at a crossroad at going for my dreams or going for my parents' pride for me.
They say "You can achieve anything as long as you follow your dreams."
Then you realise, you can only achieve your dreams only after you've completed the path set out by your parents.

So my dad wants me to follow in his footsteps and my 3 other cousin's into taking a Law Degree. He told me all about the advantages of having a degree in Law and how I can be a leader of the country, something like that. When I told him that I really want to take up sports science and psychology, he said that courses like that are too wide of a field.

He suggests that I take Law as my main and something else as my complimentary. I do think it's a fair idea but I just don't think if I'm up for political analysis and stuffs. Hmmm..

What should I do? Please my parents instead of living my dream? Why can't I do both?

Anyways, I still have a year at least to go before I actually have to make the final decision.
Quoting my mum when I told her I can't wait to graduate,

"Take one day at a time"

This Is Who I Am

I posted this photo before, but it's just so cool.

I admit I'm a self-obsessed person: on a good day, I see myself as the most beautiful person in the world; on a bad day however, I want to change everything about myself, but that rarely happens, only when my self-esteem is shattered. 

My friends will automatically give me the "you-gotta-be-kidding" look and LOL whenever my SS (syok sendiri--self-obsession) side comes out, it's cool though, because I like making people laugh, and making myself laugh. 

I don't think I'm short, I'm petite. I don't think I'm fat, I'm chubby. I don't think I'm smart, I just happen to know the answers. 

I like the smell of my hair after the shower, I love my handwriting even though it's illegible. I like who I am.
Though there are downsides of being so into myself, like I worry about the weight I'll gain if I eat pasta and pizza on the same table, the shapes of my thighs if I don't work out often and so on. But..

I always try to stay as bright as the sun and won't let anything rain on me. 

So cheesy oh! Anyways, my message to everyone is that being self-obsessed isn't a bad thing, as long as you love yourself no matter what. Family and friends support is recommended.
