the final decision

" if you think you can make our own decision , show them you can "

" i don't know , both are my favourite countries you know "

well , now i regret that i don't even write a single note when the lecturer gave a talk about the 3 countries which gmi will be sending us to .  they say that it's no use to cry over a spill milk .

" you don't need to be afraid if you think you are right "

" stand up for your own right "

" dad , i need to talk to you "

" yeah ? about what ? "

" well , it's about the country that i should choose as my next move for degree "

" ah , yes . i really want you to further your study to germany . they're the best you know "

" yeah papa . i know . but my friends said that there are a lot who can't make it to the end . they're stuck in the 3rd year . how am i suppose to pay all the fees if i ended up like them ? "

" who can't make it ? "

" the malaysians . not just malaysians , the germany students can't make it as well . the exams must be so hard that even the german students can't do it . well , it's not about the language thought . "

" hmmm , but your german language , you can do it right ? "

" yeah . i guess "

" if you don't want to go to germany , then i would have to suggest you to go to... "

" uk papa ? uk is the best too "



" if you can't make it to germany , you'll be further your degree in um "

" WHAT ? ! "



i spent my days thinking about my papa's decision . why he wouldn't let me further my study in uk ? why must um ? um is a very tough , for very very brilliant students .

" um is the best universities in malaysia that provide engineering course "

come to think of it , my dad was once a student there .

it's not that i don't want to go to germany . i really do . especially in further my study in overseas . but among the countries , uk and germany are my favourite . when i knew that after 3 years of diploma in gmi , then mara will send us to one of the 3 countries that gmi suggested , i was like  . all i ever think of is going to GERMANY .

why ?

because i think that not all the people can go to germany , as germany has their own languages , cultures and other stuffs that makes them different than other countries . i learn german language ever since i got the offer of entering gmi .

having to further my degree in germany will have to cost me 4 years staying there . without going back to malaysia if there's holiday i guess . mostly students will choose australia or uk because the engineering there just need 2 years to study degree .

" the education in uk and australia needs to pay . that's why i don't recommend you to go to uk "

well , sometimes we think that it's the worst but it is actually the best for us . parents' decisions are the best . i must agree with that .

" you've wasted 3 years in gmi , and you'll be entering um ? "

" no mama . i wont . i will go to germany "

did i just say that ?

shortly , i just wanna say ,
that even though i think that germany isn't the best choice for me , because of the stories that i've been heard , and i know how far i can go ,
but that doesn't mean that i can't go far enough . those are the challenges that only the best among the best can handle them .
to me , those who can study overseas are the best among everyone , but to be the best among the best is to take the challenges and learn from mistakes .

parents choice is always the best . they know what is the best for us , for them , for the future . cause some of them just don't get the opportunity like we do .

" kalau kau graduate dr german tu memang aku tabik kau la miza "

" x kesah pn apa orang nak kata , yang penting nk g german gak "

if you really want it , you get it .
