When people ask me what course am I doing in Sydney Uni, I’ll normally tell them I am doing mechanical engineering and for sure they’ll look so impressed. But in Malaysia, people would think, well, just another mechanical engineering student. This is mainly due to the fact that engineering is considered one of the hardest course here and only the chosen ones can do it. But back in Malaysia, there are heaps of engineering students, you can pull out any engineering student on the street.

The reason behind this is pretty simple. The wage between engineers and other odd job works is not that much different, well, I mean for the graduate, and also people here have a choice to do what they want to do, they can still make a living out of that. In Malaysia, it seems like being engineers and doctors will definitely guarantee high salary. Sometimes we do not have a choice in life, do we?

A few months back when I was watching Britain’s Got Talent, I was so envy those who have raw talent and be able to do what they like to do instead of sticking to the conventional jobs. Well, for some, your talent is not important as it can not offer you a high salary. But for the sake of money, you have to do something that you dont really like to do. So the choice is up you.
