I've gone through various stages in my life. I knew how sweet the taste of success and how bitter the failure was. I even realized how cruel the greatest pressure can affect your confidency level.
I've been very successful in my primary education. I scored straight As for all my big, important examinations; UPSR, PMR and SPM. I managed to get 8A1 and 1A2 in my SPM in order to get a place in any field that i've been dreaming off. And i did the same during my matriculation year. And that answers how i'd been selected to do dentistry in New Zealand.
But no. Biology will never be my bestfriend. I hardly remember formal-things for a long period. I can't be a good dentist. I wanted to be a pilot. Then, if i were rich, i can make my own money by having my own coffee shop. Yeah, a cool and trendy one. Or, maybe i can be an interior designer. But dentist sounds great, right? Yes, i was a person with so many ambitions. And perplexed.
I seriously need to have my own quiet time and think about my future. Make a decision for my own good. After listings all the pros and cons, so here it is where i made a big turning point in my life.
I applied for degree in architecture.
Architecture introduced me to a world of depressions, mental stress and extreme physical exhaustion. Surprisingly, i define it as interesting. It is exciting to have adrenalin rush everytime you think about project submissions and yet there was none completely done for your final presentation and the next day there will be 3 consecutive tests that will contribute up to 30% of the total marks for your final exams. Juggling between ideas, skills, assignments, test and all that somehow made me feel contented and more lively. Just like doing some extreme sports. In other words, architecture always excites me.
However, i was too blind by the joy of travelling, late night discussions, design issues that i never knew their existence and all those sweet little challenging things; till I forgot one thing that is very crucial in architecture - TIME MANAGEMENT. My hard work didn’t really paid off when i submitted my project with 30% incomplete. And that was the first project we were asked to integrate it with CAD, no longer manual technical drawing.
I failed for the first time.
After this ‘official-failure’, in order to keep my spirit up, i kept saying to myself that i’d must have been carried-away while doing floor plans since it was the first time i could erase and undo everything easily. A dumb excuse from a dummy.
to be continued.
