Me: Wah dad, they're introducing a new module. Field studies to Fiji!

Dad: Hahahaha and you signed up for the one to Thailand.

Me: What? I want to go for the Thailand one. But if they open up the Fiji module, I'll sign up for it if I can go.

Dad: Japan and Thailand. Hahaha.

Me: Fuji's in Japan. Fiji's a nation on its own.

Dad: Oh ya oh ya. Where is Fiji on the map?

Me: Don't know.

Dad: WHAT!!!! Study Geog and you don't know.

Me: I'm studying about rock processes and stuff. I don't study maps.

Dad: Geog students MUST know.

Me: You know where's Pedra Branca?

Dad: Island la. Owned by Malaysia.

Me: No! It's Singapore's.

Me: And it's a piece of rock. Not an island.

Dad: I know, recently acquired by Singapore only. And how I know? They say it's an island.

I don't know why people always associated geog students to map. If you don't know how to read a map, you're not a geog student. And my dad's always trying to win in these kind of discussions, only to find excuses for himself when he says the wrong things. Hahahaha.

Dad, even if I can't read the world map, I'm still a geog student.

Speaking of which, the school's changing the curriculum for geog majors. They're introducing a new level 3000 module COMPULSORY for all majors. ): I've just taken my 4th level 3000 module and I'm done with it because the field studies module makes up 2 level 3000 modules. Now I've got to take one more. If I had known, I wouldn't have taken it this sem.
And why are they only introducing the Fiji field studies now!
