Typical Asian childhood

Asian probably had the worst childhood.

Parents want us to ace everything. And sacrifice our childhood. My parents never brought us for a holiday. Our holiday was occupied with planting plants.

Yes, we might be brilliant, but our EQ could be zero. Imagine the stress an Asian child have to go through.

Morning, go to school
Afternoon, some would go for tuition, or music class or like us doing house-chores.
Night, Homeworks... tonne of them!

Yes, I aced during my school days, but... I'm a disappointment.

My mother met her old colleague, and then the most dreaded question. "What do I do for a living?"

My mother made her disappointed face, answering, "He's doing nothing"

Apparently, I AM DOING NOTHING!!!

And now, she quite moody. Probably from menopause.

Yes, that's how sucks it is to grow up as an Asian.

Your parent would choose your degree, and when you couldn't finish medical school, you do nothing. I told them I wanted to be an architect or pilot but they aren't that keen. Not supportive. Giving excuses on the market.

"There's no market in architecture, or engineering or aviation."
"Do you want to go to hell? Why would you want to be a lawyer?"
"Oh medicine is good, you help people" when in fact, doctors are the worst hypocrite in the world. Yes, I'm referring to that unethical man who taught us on Medical ethics!

Again do grades matter?

I got anxiety in Medical school. I never had them before! It's why I quit. It's not fair for patients to be treated by an anxious doctor. Being anxious would lead to errors.

And parents are more concern about their anxiety than ours.

Watch this.

An article I read a few years back stated that, educated parents tend to have unhappy children.

In a 'kiasu' Asian world, this is so true.

I hate being an Asian, well, growing up with typical Asian household.
