After I'm done studying.

When I was young, I seriously considered the following jobs:

- Road sweeper. The kind with the rakes, who sweep up all the crunchy brown leaves.
- English teacher. I used to think this only involved correcting homework. (Homework in P1 and P2 was fun.)
- Poet. I used to write 'poems' when I was in Kindergarten. Dunno where that book is now.
- Storyteller. I used to spin some fantastic tales. I use 'fantastic' in the sense that no one ever believed my stories. In fact, no one ever believes my theories and explanations now either.
- Bus driver. Preferably school bus driver.
- Skyscraper window cleaner.
- Housewife. Why have a job at all?
- Construction worker. I like manual work.
- Gardener.

Professions I've considered in more recent years:

- Farm owner. Most farms have horses right!
- Counsellor at a place like The Bronx. Home to some of the coolest people on Earth.
- Writer. The kind who writes from home.
- Explorer. Discovering the world on foot.
- LIGHTHOUSE OPERATOR. I really really wanna do this.
- Dreamer. I don't really know what this means either.
- Joining a hermitage. Going to live in a forest after renouncing the world. And I mean it! Not saying this as a joke. My sister has expressed very very strong objections to this already. But oh well. You never know.

I don't even remember what I talked about the last time I came here.

So here are some random things I've been doing:

Going for கலை கதம்பம். It finally had interesting stuff about architecture. And idiotic emcees.
*
Going for Ronnie's play with You Ying, meeting Lester there and catching 7 other mini-plays too; that was one cool night.
*
Watching விண்ணைத் தாண்டி வருவாயா with Dhevy at home.
*
Meeting Shiva, Reuban and Sharrvesh with Dhevy, after ages.
*
Meeting Sundar and watching Inception with some of the gang. Cool stuff..
*
Going for Sheela's reception and meeting school friends and family friends. There were so many people to talk to that my friend complained that he talked more to my mum than to me. -_-
*
Hiking from Macritchie to Bukit Timah with Fadilah, Herrick and Michelle. That was fun! I told Fad that I really like Ne-Yo's song Miss Independent (it's my message ringtone when the phone's on General). Soon after, her phone's music player accidentally starts playing the same song! MLIA.
*
Meeting RnB with Dev and Dhevy and Jared (for a bit), I'm still amazed at how it all worked out on the first attempt. Good day. And I finally learned what those things that hang from escalators are for, thanks to Dev =]
*
Last Saturday was crazy - YOG Venue training in the morning (met Alejandra again! who hates being associated with Lady Gaga). Had class at SIFAS in the afternoon. Rushed home after that, then rushed again to Parkway to pick up a cookie cake I'd ordered the previous night, then rushed as much as the traffic would allow (t'was the night of the NDP Preview) to Ion, for Mike's and the twins' birthdays. Couldn't stay long there either, fun though it was, cos I had to rush off again for a crazy sleepover! At Shy's and Shal's house, after ages.
*
PA rehearsal as usual the next day, yesterday, then went to see the gang again cos Simran's back! Watched My Name is Khan at home after that. Really good movie.

Okay I gotta go email some profs.
