Anatomy Of A Stupid.

So this is what we worked for, eh?

Wahlau. I can smell roses in the air in the middle of a trash dump, and I can feel the softness of the humidity right now when it’s 11pm at night. After a total of 12 whole years of schooling, this is what I get in return. And it’s worth every second of it, baby!

SPM’s not really over, I still have my economy paper next week but taking into equation that economy is a paper I’m ‘mildly good at’, yeah it’s literally over. Like how the scientists who take architectural drawing will, on the day biology finish say "it’s over, just not officially over." Bla bla bla ding dong bang around here and there and so long high school, and hello college.

It’s amazing how most of the people I ask don’t know what they want to do after school. I don’t mean smart ones lar, they will definetly be doing matriculation and then doing something like medicine or another one of those 5 year olds’ ambitions. This isn’t a diss, mind you. How many of those cute pint sized pupils have any other ambition other than being a doctor, engineer, lawyer, Superman, Batman, etc. Hell, even I wanted to be a doctor then. But you know shit’s getting old when I say my ambition is to be a "somebody".

Carrying on. Not many people know this, but I like to cook. No really, you can stop laughing now. I may be extraordinarily lazy but if it’s cooking, let’s just say the aroma keeps me going. As much as it sucks to wear a hat that looks like an upside down skirt, this seems to be finally coming to life. The idea of being a chef that is. It’s cool that there’s a couple of friends who want to do the same thing, since if I blow my kitchen up then I can just roll the carpets and change camp. So this is what it takes to be a chef.

1st - Do a 2 + 1 in college, take culinary and kitchen management.
2nd - Further 3 years to a U, take culinary arts.
3rd - Work with a hotel, build yourself up from sous chef right up to executive chef, 5 years plus should do the job.
4th - Open up your own mamak joint!

I’m just kidding ya on the 4th suggestion, unless your idea of being a boss is sitting at the cashier and watching live football 24 hours of the day.

So really, there’s barely any subjects that I learn in school that will have a relation to my career of choice, but as everyone know SPM is the stepping stone to furthering studies. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not crucial, and it definetly doesn’t mean that you don’t have to plan your future properly, rather than just leaving it to fate to bring you where you want. My personal opinion.

Why you ask? Have you ever noticed how the people who were not so bright in school then, are staggeringly successful now? and that when young dreamed of being a lawyer, but later ends up as a gangster?  Crucial.. very crucial indeed.

Laundry calls. But good luck to you guys, though we may not meet again. (*because I’m selected for that stoopid NS which runs during the time the results are out). I wish for the best for all of you.
