Tinted Glass Window

Remember when you were young and you were forced to do something which you absolutely hate?
Mum would often argue that she knows what's best for you and all her advices are for your own good (think: "I Not Stupid")
Back then, you would always think that she's absolutely wrong and that no one knows what's best for you besides youself
Then you would get all grumpy and sulk the entire time you carry out her demands

At 6, mum brought me to take up organ lessons
At 9, mum told me to attend Mandarin lessons in school
At 13, mum asked me to wash my own school shoes and iron my own clothes
At 16, mum said to choose to go Science stream
At 18, mum insisted that I go to Form 6
All these and many others were things that mum had forced me to do
I remember how upset, angry and dissatisfied I was when I had to follow her demands

But as I grew older and think back, I begin to realize that she was right!
Those things really did benefit me in many ways even up till today and I'm so grateful that she had put me through all that
It really was what's best for me and a mother's instincts is indeed always right (well, almost=p)

In uni now, I have classes that's about the physiological parts of the human beings
You see, eventhough I was in the Science stream during high school, I dropped Biology as I absolutely, strongly & passionately despised it!
It was obviously against mum's wishes...but because I was old enough (or at least I thought I was), I had the green light to decide for myself

You can imagine how much I'm suffering right now, coming face to face with one of my biggest enemy in life
The pain and agony of having to study what I hate most, plus the guilt and regret as I think back about mum's advices

I should have listened to my mother...
