  do what you feel is for you...
  
  follow your dreams if you can..
  
  it's your life to lead, not theirs.. unfilial as it may sound...
  
  it would also prevent you from a whole life of "could have beens"..
  
  if you're happy, we're happy for you!

  I have the same problem just like you. I also can't decide if I should take up psychology (I like) or marketing (my parents like).
  
  In the end I choose psychology.

  My advice would be to take the course u have more interest in. Studying something u like give extra motivation to achieve better results, and likewise, the opposite is true as well. But this is just the way I am.
  
  In the end if u choose to follow your dream, u must have the determination to go all the way, and prove to your parents that the decision u made is not so wrong after all.
  
  Make your choice wisely.

  Follow ur heart...
  Do wat u pursue in... Dun listen 2 others blindly n regret in e end. E choice is urs. Do wat ur more interested in. Dun study juz 4 e sake of studyin... Makes life meaninless.
  
  Do wat u wan, follow ur dreams n b contented in watever u do.

  Do a job you like and you wouldn't have to work for the rest of your life.

  I'll suggest taking up dip in fashion design lor since you said it's your dream. At least your interest is there, but dont think fashion designer in singapore can go far. So in the end you gotto go oversea to crave a name for yourself. Unless you wanna open a store somewhere and sell clothes which you design. kekeke. Plan far far ahead.

  wah all the sensible options posted leow ....
  
  but still, follow what u feel your heart & mind tell you, ie where your passion & sensibilities lie. Nothing worse than being suck in a career choice you'll have to live & regret about.

  i think you should take ACCA because it's more practical when you seek employment. and work part-time in the fashion field you're so interested in. because job experience counts as well. like that, you got yourself covered both ways.

  ACCA is for accounting?

  yup. it's as recognized as NTU accountancy degree, but costs more since non-subsidized.

  I dont' think that is what she wants bib..
  
  Cos.. i'm an accounting grad, and i'm expected to do my CPA and follow the career path of management accountant, auditor, tax, financial processes etc.. not FASHION DESIGN!
  
  Tia i think you might want to start making some stuff to sell online or at craft markets. Eg.. customised singlets etc..
