At the Sushi bar. Saturday, July 21, 2007 Pluggin' into: Tearsdrops on my Guitar by Taylor Swift I went out for lunch yesterday with my bro. We ate nearby - the Sushi Tei in gardens. It turned out to be much better that the last time I went there, which is probably a couple of years ago (or more). I've always treasured and liked conversations with my brother. He not only makes me laugh, he makes me think. Sometimes I feel judged, or I disagree with him, but then again.. that's just how he is. Direct and to the point, without any vice, spite or ill-intention. He tells it as it is. Often since young, I would enter his room and ask him some question I know the answer to, but need assurance. I still do. Many a times, he's like a lighthouse - a light in the midst of dark trecherous waters. I love him for that. We talked about our futures - what we planned to do after graduation. He has already taken steps - he just completed his internship and has in mind his next steps, not only in terms of education, but work. He tells me that next hols, I should try and get a proper job. I smile and reply, nowadays a proper job is an office job huh? He rebukes me by telling me what is not - a waiter, a food-taster (unless u're planning to go pro). He provides me with other suggestions, like events planning, writing, etc. It hits me that despite our 3 years difference.. in terms of education, I'm only 1 year behind him. Which means.. after a year, I'll join him in the working world. It's almost like driving. Yet.. I feel so much younger.. so much more naive and unaware. I answer him like I answer everyone who has asked me that question - I am clueless. He asks me what I like to do. The only thing i could come out with was that.. I like to edit stuff. He suggests applying internship at SPH. I have thought of it before - that was at the career talks in Sec. 4 in IJ. A part of me is terrified.. the other tinged with thrill. I might do so.. next hols or so. Or maybe I'll apply a temp job to increase pay. *shrugs* It makes me ponder about all my friends too - some of whom I can clearly see in fields that suit their characters, their style.. reflection of their lifestyles. Which brings to question.. what field suits me? I think media is getting to me, since that's more or less what I've been doing lately, haha :P In the movie "Accepted", this guy creates a university, where students are able to do courses they want to - courses which veer off the path taken by traditional educational institutions. In an anime called "Hitohira", a girl who has severe stage fright, ventures into the complete opposite of her character - the drama club. They take their lives into their own hands. Can I? In Psychology, we learnt development of the human. There's this stage by Erikson.. something about the Self Identity vs Doubt. (I think.. I don't think I'll be doing psych). It got me wondering.. maybe it's because I haven't decided who I am. Do I have a definite style? A distinctive character? Or am I elusive? Back at the sushi bar, my bro complains that his hot beef bowl came first, before the sashimi salad. As I cross my arm over my own sashimi salad to grab the receipt, I inform him that there's only one order of it. My bro launches into an exclamation, "WHAT??? That waiter! ..." He rumbles on. As he manages to find a waiter to correct this abdomination, I see the woman next to him. Her look is one of utter surprise and a hint of amusement. We make eye contact. We both smile and I start to laugh. Yes. That's my brother :) | |
