I Suck At Everything

Celebrated my 21st birthday not long ago. Birthday song and cakes as usual, but this was actually the first time I celebrated my birthday with booze. A grown up man at last eh?

Other than that, other post-birthday plans were flopped. Was supposed to meet up with some other friends to have dinner but totally forgot about it. This is what happens when you let me be in-charge of an event.

And to make things worse, ever since I got internet, I've been all hyped over the net and forgot about my studies, like totally. Barely surviving my exams, not to mention those which I've skipped or postponed. Took a week for me to get accustomed with my new life and start picking up books from wherever I'd left them.

But it takes only a mere 5 minutes to distract me with something new in the net. Explains why I'm here so early in the morning.

Nothing much to update actually, just needed something to do besides studying. I'm starting to question myself if Medicine is what I really want. Used to think of becoming a designer, but let the dream go due to my terrible drawing skills and the inability to be innovative. Thought of becoming a model but didn't have the looks and the height(an inch more, damn it!). That left me with very few choices, to be a doctor or an engineer or a businessman. I'm not innovative, so I'll never be rich as a businessman. I hated physics, so engineer wasn't really an idea. So I'm left with one choice.

But it was not until many years later did I realise that there is this one job that not only can make money and become famous, but also get to know models and designers. A fashion photographer! Why have I not thought of that earlier?! If only I've got to know about America's Next Top Model sooner. And now that I own a dSLR, there's even more reason for me to quit Medicine and become a fashion photographer, though it might take quite some years before I become good at what I'm doing and get noticed. But hey, I have more reasons to become a fashion photographer than a doctor!

Ugh, I hate what I'm doing with my life now. If only I could return to the past, I'll make the 10-year-old me know that a fashion photographer IS way cooler than a doctor. Like, waaaaaaay cooler.
