The pursuit of happiness

Maybe what we’re all fighting for is happiness. There are times I try to strike conversations with my parents because I feel like I am in the mood for it. Making senseless comments which I am sure will brighten up their day a fair bit. It’s a one-way street, I don’t enjoy receiving senseless comments.

There’s this whole talk about overseas education, where I should go and whatever not. I’d want to go somewhere completely new, wherever it may be, and start a new life of sorts. There’s too much baggage to carry, I want to leave them all behind and start anew somewhere far away.

Linda is in germany and I really like the idea of going to a country that speaks a different language sans japan. Then aunt was asking if I am planning to go italy and whatever not. I have no plans, really. In fact, I don’t even know if I want to study immediately after I am done with my obligatory employment. The cousin is planning to go manchester and I don’t think I want to go there, at least not now.

Okay, so I am doing my own readings of sorts now. I realised how expensive richard miller books are/can be, which is pretty appalling, upsetting. Did a whole lot of shopping at open trolley and I must say I can’t wait for my books to arrive even if it’s just four. Did some reading on music in italy, the old school technique and whatever not - it was inspiring and enriching to say the least.

Expecting four books in the mail, I can’t wait.

And I think I am going to get some scores once I get enough money. Heh.

ETA: meeting up with miao ling was awesome, even though dinner was less than pleasing. I think we should have gone to somewhere quieter. Didn’t enjoy myself with all the crowds and whatever not, could be better. I realised we haven’t spend enough time together, in terms of quality time. Didn’t talk much about ourselves and our conversations were pretty sparse compared to the concrete hours we would have at holland village where muffin flies. Of course we laughed over stupid things, that’s part of meeting up.

Bummed into sean and we both gave each other extended stares. Period.
