Before I start babbling on this post, I just wanna tell you guys that I'm currently studying Foundation in Information Technology (IT) at somewhere on this Earth. Just kidding. The place that I'm studying at now is Limkokwing University. Datssss right peeps. I'm an IPTS student. Friendly reminder, aku tak kaya. The fees are being paid by my sponsors. Acah je. Boleh ke panggil biasiswa sponsors?

Kenapa aku bagitau pasal benda ni? Sebab post ni ada kaitan dengan benda yang aku tengah belajo sekarang. Relax, aku bukannya nak membebel pasal komputer tak memasal. So you can read this.

So, hari ni kawan parents aku datang beraya, the Mr. and Mrs. X. Lovely peeps, I was actually fine with them. Until Mr X was being the total cliche uncle that gave out the same reactions like other uncles/makciks when I say I'm studying IT. These were the conversations;

Mr X: Oh ini anak bongsu kan. Belajar apa?

Me: IT.

My dad: Foundation in IT. At Limkokwing University.

Mr X: Ah, yes, yes. At Cyberjaya, kan?

Me: Yea.

Mr X: Hmm... my nephew/niece (I can't remember sorz) was studying Computer Science. Oh, do you know that Computer Science is totally different from IT. You see, Computer Science is you basically learning about the coding...programming....while IT, is more like hardwares.

Me: ...???ok

Seriously. Seriously. Seriously. Like, for real. Kenapa everytime aku cakap aku belajar IT je, pakcik-pakcik suka sangat terangkan apa benda Computer Science and apa benda IT ni sebenarnya?! Like, hello uncle, I am the one who's studying IT now, I was the one who chose IT. Did you really expect me NOT knowing what IT really is?! For real, though. Diorang suka no mengajar aku pasal benda-benda ni macam diorang ingatkan aku bodoh-bodoh je ambik IT for no reasons.

Excuse me, BUT I REALLY DO LOVE COMPUTER OKAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CONCERN.

Ini okay lagi tau reaction Mr X tu kasi. Ada je Uber Driver yang macam buat muka lepas aku cakap aku IT, and then dia kata perempuan susah sikit nak dapatkan kerja nanti dalam bidang IT. BIH YOU WANT TO BANGKITKAN ISU SEXIST PULAK NOW? For real. I mean, yes, sir, I do aware of sexism, thank you, tapi tak payahlah warn aku macam aku memang takkan dapat kerja sebab aku perempuan. Hadoiiiii.

"Lagi-lagi awak perempuan.. pakai tudung. Nanti mengandung, kena cuti kerja, ha, that's why diorang taknak pilih perempuan."

DEY UNCLE, KALAU YOU PAKAI KONSEP MACAM TU IN YOUR WHOLE FREAKING LIFE, WHY DON'T APPLY IT ON OTHER JOBS TOO? INGAT PEREMPUAN IT JE KE MENGANDUNG?

Fakyu betul :') But honestly, aku mengamuk, membebel dekat blog and kawan-kawan aku je. Depan pakcik-pakcik tu aku buat muka baik and senyum and cakap thanks je sebab taknak pulak timbulkan pergaduhan yang sia-sia. Buat penat je. But still, kenapa orang suka sangat terangkan aku apa benda IT, Computer Science, Multimedia stuff ni kat aku macam aku membuta tuli je pilih course ni? Agaknya diorang fikir aku pilih IT sebab aku fikir IT ni buat Microsoft Word je kot.

Ohohohohoho PLEASE. 

I'm fully aware about my future, okay, uncles and makciks? Thank you! And yes, sincerely thank you for those yang sudi membaca post entah apa-apa ni. Ahaha. Pelik-pelik je. Mesti ramai yang menghadapi isu lebih kurang macam ni jugak, kan? Alahai.

XO, Farihah.
