All my only dreams.

A good Friday night out is yummy Korean cuisine complete with side dishes, bulgogi and grilled chicken, dashing across the street in the rain for two cups of taro bubble tea, and endless laughter with a friend who simply wouldn't let me pay for dinner! :>

On Thursday evening Piggy and I decided to turn up at the Arts Faculty Postgraduate Information Session held at uni, and although it was redundant, crappy and disappointing (now we know why it was due to start only at freaking 6pm when 95% of the uni has gone home), I think I might have gotten the next few years of my life figured out. I shall not bore you with the mundane details - to cut a long story short, after my Honours is done, I hope to go to Japan for a couple of months or so, finally get a Japanese boyfriend my Japanese sorted out, and possibly come back to Melbourne (or somewhere else, like SG - eeks!) for a Masters before heading out into the real world (umm... that is assuming the parents are giving me both the green light and the cash).

It's quite embarrassing really, when almost everyone you've been to school with is already working and bringing in the moolah for the family, becoming financially independent, etc... and all you want to do is stay in uni forever, which means spending your parents' money, and not participate in the workforce/contribute to the nation's economy. I am sooooooo going to be frowned upon when in future I tell people I am 28 and have never worked a single day in my life (which technically isn't true because I have done some casual work in my teens, but anyway).

I am also currently reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee and enjoying it so far (surprise surprise!). It was a book I've had to read (school assignment) and always wanted to read, especially since I saw the film "Capote", but for some reason I just never got down to getting through the first two pages (ah, teenage short attention span). How I got through my school assignment without reading the book, that I can't remember.

So anyway the dad snail-mailed a copy of the book to me a couple of weeks ago for my graduation present because he knew I wanted it (aww!). Moonface and Piggy have told me that this book totally increases my 'cultural credibility', so I am going to hold it up high whenever I read it in public, unlike the times I was reading "The Secret Dreamworld Of A Shopaholic" (I am a closet chick-lit reader) and I had to put the book flat down on my lap to hide the cover :D

This time I swear not to give up on "To Kill A Mockingbird" no matter what. It has been listed as one of the books you have to read before you die so I figured I'd better start now because life is unpredictable :P

So every night I'll pray
I'll have you here one day
I'll count the stars tonight
And hope with all my might.
