i brought up the subject of the exchange program again to my mum this morning.. she still seemed reluctant.. she had this connotation that i want to go there just because i only have to pass all my subjects. and i told her thats not the point. i almost died because i wanted to let her see the benefits of going for exchange and being able to S/U all ur subjects was the most striking one.. so that idea kinda stuck to her..=.= i mean i couldnt tell her i wanna go there and learn how to be independent and do some global networking or learn more about the culture right.. she'd probable roll her eyes and say Yeah Right.
And then she went on about how i didnt consider a million things.. like
- You dont even know how to cook instant noodles how are u gonna survive there!
- You havent even washed a single piece of clothing before how are u gonna have clothes to wear! ( i have to vindicate myself here. i have washed my clothes before ok... at some particular point of time which i just cannot recall..)
- You have so many problems always having aches everywhere..
- Hk is not as safe as singapore ok..its very complicated there.. (she thinks that mafia is hidden at every nook and cranny of the city. you might never know if there's a sniper aiming at you. and policemen are just people who help the elderly cross the roads)
Sheesh. so i went to do my work. i wonder what else she'll say when i bring this up again.. march 6!! i have to accept it by then... Help!
