Catch up with old friends

Coyo, Plat, Suen, Paul, SL Lee:

Haven't had a chat with my friends for a long time. Was caught up with work issues. Seriously though, I do have many fond memories here.

As you guys must have anticipated... still rather slow on the love life bit. Though a bit spoilt for choice. I seem to be rejecting even the pretty girls, no idea why. Perhaps not ready for a steady relationship yet. The girls in the office know I am shy.

Not that they weren't pretty. All my buddies thought they were hot. I just got tired of them real fast... in like less than a few months. They weren't intellectual enough, or started getting on my nerves with their inane remarks and clinginess.

My parents are getting worried now. :o)

In any case, my family's real slow in these things. Most of my cousins got married after 30 anyway. Earliest got hitched at 27. Half of those over 30 are not married. So I'm going to take my time. Safety in numbers.

Was working as a Risk Analyst for a while, now I have offers to go into either investment banking at a top foreign bank, or do another Masters degree. Sort of in a happy dilemma. Choices are painful, but in this case, its good to have so many options.

Got to decide whether I want the intellectual life, or career fulfilment. Still can't decide at this point. I prefer the stability of a scholarly life. My parents want to see their only son do well financially. They think I've done well enough academically and should switch gears. Still, I'm attached to the idea of solitude and study.

Still consulting my parents on these matters.
