bonjour,
when i was a in intec, lot's of students were eager to study abroad...
so did i... but i thought again about the purpose of studying abroad...
well, actually i just thought about that just now when i was eating my home cook spaghetti carbonara... ;) ;)
ermm... it hit me why all mat salleh never bragged about studying abroad?
they are international students everywhere in the university nowadays...
all come from different ethnics and races...
but sokay i just wanna focus on mat salleh's mentality...
compare to Malay drama, it seems like every anak Dato' or Tan Sri must be studying abroad...
one problem is they will brag about it to people...
"Ni lah Daniel, baru je balik UK"
"Introducing my daughter, Lela. She just finished her medic school in Russia"
hurm... it seems like the purpose of finding education is gone once they show off...
as for mat salleh's movie, they never brag about studying abroad...
i don't know if you ever notice that but they seldom actually introduce themselves as someone who just got home from studying overseas...
they appreciate their country very much so they don't show off about other countries...
now i realize, how low our mentality when we keep using the word studying abroad just to preserve our pride...
yes, i'd been in a situation where i was a disgrace to the family because i couldn't study abroad...
they were ashamed because i couldn't make it... in fact i never ashamed of myself *weird
and i was like "i've never entered that university so i have nothing to lose"...
that's the problem when they bragged about studying abroad and they were ashamed for something that they NEVER had... again,weird...
all i care about is finishing ACCA, so that i'm able to work at an audit firm before i enter commercial line...
insyaAllah, i'll try to get the title of Chartered Accountant asap...
so please keep things low people, remember if Allah wanna take it back all the good things He'll take it in just seconds...
you may have the rezeki now, but you never know about tomorrow... #notetomyself
