Went to bai nian at Adrian lao da’s and Rachel’s place. So I spent the whole day out and Dad had to call and gave me a “lecture”. Totally no mood in the end and headed home.

I think I am old enough to decide what’s right and wrong. Besides, these 2 years I have been living out and learning to survive independently. I think I am doing well. Please stop treating me like a little girl and give me my freedom.

Stop telling me that I shouldn’t be home late. I know you are worried but I can take care of myself. I will bear all consequences (if necessary).

And after the guys spoke to me on Friday night about whether or not to further my studies, I was kinda “shaken”. Initially, I wanted to go overseas to study but my main concern is the money. I do not want to use my parents’ money. Since I have said that I wanted to be independent, I want to use my own money. But I kinda realised it is very difficult to save $60k in 2 years. I shall just try and work towards saving as much as I can.

I shall not resort to retail therapy, for the sake of my future. As of now, I want to wait till my permanent posting is confirmed before I decide on whether to go overseas to further my studies. But I don’t mind leaving Singapore for a change in environment.

Tomorrow is the start if my practicum. Let’s hope that I will not fair badly.. I am working towards getting at least a merit.. Hopefully I can make it.
