mes parents.

almost felt like i've wasted the past 2 days away, considering US apps, which was the toughest I've had to decide on since a looong time. In the end, Jiening help me decide that I should Liberal Arts, then do a masters' in Hospitality or Business Management, effectively pushing back my decision till 3 years later. Which I think is a very effective idea, and that in Liberal Arts I get to do like philosophy and whatever else.

The only problem was deciding which US schools to apply to. There were so many: CMU, Cornell, Yale, Amherst, etc. and I simply was at a lost as to which was good, which was bad. I had a good time laughing with Jon Yee in the Student Affair Centre about where we were headed, and I decided that I would entrust my tertiary education in America (if all else fails, since America is at the bottom of my list) to him, i.e. I will apply to whatever he applied to. This led Kevin Sim (who is... nvm) to believe we had a thing going on, and he even said I want to marry Brad Pitt -.-"

Jon Yee: So should we apply to a lot of schools? If we only apply to one doesn't that show that we really want to get in?
Sim: Do they care?! I mean, if you really wanted to marry Angelina Jolie, and he (referring to me) wanted to marry Brad Pitt...

Haha I should have taken offence, like kevin laporte in Les Bleus when Capitaine Duval insulted his sexuality. Oh well it'll be a long and arduous journey for people to convince my friends that I ain't all that into guys. It's gonna be especially tough when I find good friends and other people tend to easily assume it to be a relationship, touting "ah it's always like that/it always starts like that" as some form of immature take on the issue. I think it's so stupid to completely ignore the possibility of good friends between two people. I admit my actions may suggest otherwise (and this with respect specifically to Ko Ko and addressed to my dear readers who are also culprits) but my prior actions have also suggested that I might be rapist, molester, flasher, murderer, cheater, racist... Does that lead you to believe that I may be any of the above? Wait, alright don't answer that.

Maturity brings me to talk about my parents. Tonight I went with my folks to have supper, and I tell you it's so fun. I thank God that my sis spoke to me about my father (and probably spoke to him too, after she was done with me) in London, and that totally revolutionized the way I lived in the family. It was fun to know that I was loved by the two of them, and that I truly care for them. And although we were awfully silent at times, had conversations which were uneventful, I still loved the little time I get to spend with them like this. And this goes out to everyone who reads my blog: LOVE YOUR PARENTS PLEASE! I know in some cases it may be hard, but... In the end it's so much more worth it if things work out. And things won't work out at all if you decide that they won't. Right.

Past two days were unproductive fretting over college apps. Not great. And I anticipate tomorrow to be a happy decadent day celebrating Wan Joo's birthday, all with my first A level paper in less than 2 weeks. Good job ye wei.

Anyone read Outlook? Haha it's quite cool, and who decided they should send it to my parents? Lol.
