At 16 u should be studying
I'm 22 ...it took me 3 year to get myself a computer with my own money....ur father is not wrong ... just building computer for hobby wont get you anywhere plus it's HIS money ...u need education first ... for example see iren in uni he mod slowly then after he graduated then he can mod like there's no tomorrow liao now he own a company pulak...

Me? I'm a proud manufacturing student who can fabricate my own stuff for my own pleasure ... pursuing my degree now ...

how u save money ????
u worked ?? at 16

normal lah ...my father oso like that ..because why ?
He cares about you ..ur failed result must make him more geram with you ..since u keep on fooling/playing around in front of him. I'm sure if you show him great result he would even support ur modding. Because that what my father did...

so go get good result ..and prove it to him you can juggle between hobby and study

...I RM600 pocket money per month ... T_T ... that for my food+fuel and etc ....no PTPTN ... u can save 50~100 per week OMG~!!

inb4 ur saving up from ur pocket money which in return is ur father money ...so be grateful lah
