Your reply is wrong in a way but it is understandable why you
reacted as such so it's ok. There are 2 ways you can interpret your
buddy's comment. 1 is he is insensitive and just shooting his mouth
off, and another is, he is a damn good buddy who cared for you but
just doesn't know how to put across to you properly hehe.
Depends on what you want to do in life bro. Nothing wrong with ITE.
They exist for a purpose mah.. But by choosing a life down the ITE
route, does it meets your life expectations and contention? If you
know exactly what you are doing, then go ahead with your decisions.
If it is a right decision, good for you, if it is a wrong one,
don't despair but learn from it.
Hope this $h!t helps..
