LONDON!!! Sigh...........

Went for my aunt's house warming cum Thanksgiving on the previous Sunday. Had great fun with the rest of my cousin and my other relatives. It had been such a long time since i attended kenduri and helped out at the kitchen. It was great fun and chaos with the rest of my aunties, cousins, childhood friend's gf.. We were laughing and making jokes abt everything.. It was great!

There has been a certain sthg that is still stuck in head since that last Sunday. My family came early in the morning to help my aunt set up the buffet table and stuffs. My mum managed to have a conversation with an auntie of mine who had moved to Johor and they were chatting abt it and other things. They came ard to talking abt me, like what am i gonna do after my exams. My aunt's 2nd son is studying in London right now doing his Masters but will be back in Sept to get married to a girl he met there, a Malaysian. And after the wedding, both of them will head back to London where his future wife wld join him doing her Masters. And apparenty, she has a brother who is a doctor working in London.

Upon hearing that i have just finished my degree, my auntie insisted that i shld do my Masters straight away in London! Because it will only require 1 yr over there instead of 3 yrs upon distance learning. I was like thinking there is no way in hell my mum wld allow me to go to London alone. My auntie kept on the conversation going and profusely insisted that my mum shld let me go ahead with doing Masters in London. She assured my mum that i cld live with her son and future wife and that i wld always be under their watchful eyes. My mum started to ask my auntie more and more question and kept smiling at me. I was like, is that a sign that she is keen with the idea? My uncle later on joined in with the conversation and assured my mum that initially it wld be difficult for my mum to adjust with my absensce but she wld be fine after a mth or so. I was starting to like the idea!

My dad had insisted early on, before my final exam that i shld just continue with my Masters but i said no. I told my mum that i need to work and gain experience or else the Masters would not mean anything. I was set on that, but hearing London and most importantly, my mum is keen on the idea has excite me! My mum cannot be separated from me, she didnt allow me to go to Aust to do my degree cos she said im her only child and the thought of being separated for 3 yrs is unheard of. So i gave in and studied in SIM but now, she is toying with the idea of me going to London because she felt its kinda safe with relatives ard to take care of me.

My mum brought the subject up to my dad and to my dismay, my dad did not agree!! AAAAHHHH!!!! But then again, he has been working hard to see me through my degree programme and to make him fork out $50k at his age wld seem unfair. Sigh.... My mind is already 1/4 there... But too bad for me, another chance of studying oversea is slipping by...
