somebody's waiting

i am a proud new owner of a nikon coolpix 3700! (i wanted to say this in french, but unfortunately i only got as far as je suis le... pathetic, i know. there's two semesters of french for you.)

i went to sim lin square with my brother today to get the camera. he was going to pay for it, but i declined graciously (at least i think i was gracious) because i wanted to pay for it myself with my hard-earned money (i feel like such an ass saying that. hmm). was that stupid of me? should i have just let him pay for it? nah... this feels right. he might be getting me an mp3 player, though. haha. my brother was always, and still is, my favourite sibling. he's a lot more considerate than the rest, though like them (like us, rather) he is afflicted with a short temper.

we discussed my future over dinner, and he suggested that i apply to the ministry of foreign affairs after i finish my studies, if i ever do get a masters in international relations or econs & journalistic studies. i'd get to travel and do research and have fun as a junior attache there, according to him. i dunno. it sounds like a job i'd enjoy, but i'm still not sure about doing a masters in those subjects. if i get that far. it's nice to think about, that's for sure.

eee! i can't wait to take pictures with my new camera. :)
