Dilemma...
Talks about SEP (
Student Exchange Program) usually leads up to discussion about the post-SEP trip to either US or Europe. Qiuyi, Anne & Liyi are going to tour US after their semester in US while Dorothy is going to tour Europe. I'm caught in a dilemma cos i cannot decide which place i'd rather go. Both sounds so exciting and since i've never been to either place, i want to go to both. Travelling in both US and Europe is
so going to burn a hole in my pockets. Wanqing is choosing Europe because there's alot of places to shop. But i would rather go US, being not much of a shopper myself. On the other hand, Dot is do right about the rich and fantabulous history that Europe has.
Sigh. The whole trip could come to about $2K which i obviously do not have and in order to go, i would have to scrimp and save every last bit of my allowance i'm going to get and that might not even be enough if i really want to enjoy myself. I am super regretting not working this holidays. Then again, even if i manage to come up with the money, my dad might not let me go in the end. Eventhough he'll say things like i'm already 21 and suppose to make my own decisions and live with the consequences, the reality is actually him making the decisions and me living with the consequences. Which sometimes makes me want to pull my hair out! Alright digressing... He thinks that Malaysia is dangerous, how am i going to convince him that US is safe? Help!
On another note, i'll be on my way to China (
Fuzhou & Shanghai) with the family this thursday. Accompanied by some not that desirable OLD PEOPLE who likes to nag and scold me just because they can, i seriously doubt i'm going to enjoy myself. Anyway, this would be my second trip to Fuzhou and totally not looking forward to it. Shanghai on the other hand, i've never been but heard from our dear Anne that it is very modern and actually comparable to Singapore or even better. Shanghai is the only reason why i am actually making this trip which isn't really trip and eventhough they don't say so, i think my parents are kind of going to be short of money for a while.
Sigh.
Watched Fantastic Four with Liting, Anne, Tze & WK. Saw Lingfeng, a JC classmate at Lido and a primary school classmate, Zhiwei who happened to be watching the same show and was coincidentally sitting just one row behind me. Got shushed by the guy beside me who told us to "keep it down" which later we decided that it is because Anne was too loud. Muahhaa. Kidding. That guy was an ass... he wasn't really quiet himself. Tsk tsk. Show was quite nice, something i would watch and later not think about it at all. I'm really tired already and i haven't packed for the trip. With shopping tomorrow afternoon, dinner followed by mambo at night followed by drawbridge on thursday, i guess i'm left with no time at all to pack my bag. I'd better get on with it.
:) Oh and did i mention this??? I've got new furniture!!! :)
