An old dream ...

This trip Bahija is happy. Just amazed that at any point of time, there were people around me to keep me company. No time to feel lonely at all. Plus the timing also excellent, one after another, no conflict leh… hehe. Life is so blissful. The world is just so small loh. Okra was my high school friend. We lost touched for many years. When I came here, she’s home for vacation, thru friends – she found out I quit I-kei , then next day, she met with her good Uni buddy – this buddy is my PG colleague pula – small world leh, one connect to another – apparently , Okra is only 30 mins away from where I am…on my last night here, we met for Vietnamese dinner. So great to keep in touch again. Okra will be my first friend who carry the Dr title ..she’s completing her PHD – her expertise is public health – so keng hor. I visited her Uni – U.C.Davis. During the drive, my mind flashed back to my Uni time, campus life was so fun. Just like what Okra is doing now ….She works as Research Assistance – this help to sponsor her tuition expenses. From the conversation, I recalled this little dream I used to have – to enroll for full time master – be a Graduate or Teaching Assistance. Moons ago – in my Uni – I qualified as the Graduate Assistance – to me, back then this was such a great deal, USD 500 mthly salary to cover living expenses, graduate school tuition fees all covered by Uni ….memang good deal loh. I didn’t opt for that offer back then, because I wanted to have some real life working experiences before taking my master. Zooommmmm, I seem to totally forget about this idea liow , until I met Okra. Hmmm, then today – I arrived kat LA at 3pm. So early, nothing to do, so bored waiting in LAX, so I took a bus ride to U.C.L.A. Wah, ini Uni betul2 besar, full of rich kids leh – saw a lot of nice cars. Good campuses with neat facilities – famous U memang famous – glamour. I walked around the campus, went to the campus store as well – aii, this whole experience just brought me back to my old fun uni time , hehehehe. My first business trip here – I found out that I didn’t like to stay here. Now, entah why, this trip I changed my mind – I’m keeping this migration option open again – entah someday – this plan may jalan :) , guess I fall in love with Oregan liow ....
