The coward side of me
In my first attempt to combat procrastination after 15 years of studying, I went to study at the State Lib yday. Oh, I tell u.. e environment, e other studious species, e books... e silence, jst everything contributed to Krystal's & my motivation to study. Well, at least the first half until we met Joseph for lunch. As usual, it was our "duty" to cheer his week up... away fr his monotonous auditor colleagues. Met up w Jen & Jun at night.. went for staff-price Nando's dinner (reminds me of Sam! ;P) & thought we'd some charity by supporting a Taiwanese student film production - The College. Blardy hell. Not only did they made us wait for freaking 45mins, but the so-called production was so bad, even the behind-the-scenes were much more entertaining. Can't believe they even dare to charge me $10. Come to think of it, I can even watch Hollywood movies at $6 on Tuesdays.
Spent my whole day at a PR seminar today. The first few speakers was interesting but towards the end, I wanted to strangle myself. It was worthwhile though - gave me a deeper understanding on the PR industry. Hmmm... time to think abt my career huh?!.. Oopsie, shouldn't I already hv? We decided to cheer up our Sat night out so Franco, Val, Krystal, Jun & I decided to go to Carnegie to this Korean restaurant, "highly-recommended by Franco". It turned out to be Kimchi Grandma, the same one in the city & jst in case u were wondering, of course we screw him up n down. After a few teasings & punchings, we were still there enjoying our seafood hotpot, beef, calamari & of course, the side dishes. Yum Yum~~
Oh oh, the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week event last Tues was so cool. With models strutting their tiny package while Richie & Franco were feasting their eyes .. hehee.. so cool huh?!.. I reckon exposing ourselves to events like these once-in-a-while is great as it gives us an idea on how events should look like. But, too much of these is bad.. the longer I was there, the more I felt tht I was sucked in to this so-called elegant society where who u are is dictated by a Balenciaga bag, a stereotyped perfect body & flawless looks. Still, I'd prefer the porridge we had at Supper Inn. Something tht I really wanted to eat for a longgg time since Ling told me bout it..
The other day, Jen called me a coward. She called me a coward for not exploring my career opportunities in Melbourne first. She called me a coward for not taking that bold step with Jeremy. She called me a coward for I wasn't brave enough to take the road less taken - for rejecting options before even exploring it. Am I? I used to pledge tht I'm not gonna be one of those ppl who's afraid to take e road less taken, who's afraid of changes & instead, gives a try to everything tht comes my way, jst in case it doesn't comes by again. Fr tt conversation of ours, I can't help to think.. am I trying to camouflage my fears by being seemingly determined?
