something i cant get out my head

two days ago, i attended my secondary school gathering to meet one of my friends who was on a visit in singapore. so people started to talk and catch up, you know the usual stuff, and one of my classmates whom i havent seen since the last day of school in mg asked me what course i was in. so this was how the conversation went:

her: and you.. how are you? havent heard from you for ages
me: haha.. yea.. i'm ok.. what are you doing now?
her: oh.. i graduated from ( i forgot where) and i'm currently doing some research-based project in the biopolis
me: oh wow.. that's really cool
her: so what about you?
me: oh, i'm still studying
her: yea.. i mean what are you studying
me: oh haha.. erm i'm doing architecture
her: architecture?? oh wow..
me: (smiles)
her: like who does architecture now rite!
me: (smiles......)

honestly, i still cant tell whether she was being sarcastic or genuinely impressed

yeah you know what..

(a long time ago actually) i met this late-50s looking uncle in the lift at my place.. he seemed pretty normal/non-DOM type.. so when he started a conversation, i willingly made small talk.

then he asked me what course i was in..i said architecture.. and he was like..
"ARCHITECTURE! ancient already la.. no need for architecture now.. it's a very old course.. useless to study it.. etc etc.."

you know by the way he kept using the words 'ancient' and 'old' i wonder whether he was thinking of archaeology or smthg.. Bleh.
