Went for BBQ for my colleagues today. :) Had an interesting discussion about schools with junyu haha. I think I'd like my daughter(s) to go to a girls' school for seconday school education! It really does wonders for a girl's self-confidence, and you can build very strong and lasting bonds with your schoolmates. :) You don't waste time obsessing over unnecessary stuff like appearances (and boys) but instead you spend your time doing things that are actually meaningful, e.g. study and CCA and CIP and whatnot.
I'm not sure if it makes a difference whether kids go to single-sex or mixed primary schools though. I mean personally I really really enjoyed my time in girls' schools (definitely more so than my short 3-year stint in a mixed school) but err I have yet to form a conclusive opinion. And actually I think JC would have been more enjoyable if I were in a girls' school but I guess you can't postpone the whole getting-to-know-guys thing indefinitely so bopian luh. :/
Idk what to do if I end up with a son though. I actually think guys thrive better in a mixed gender environment (?) but I think I'll still send him/them to RI if their grades can make it. Then I'll watch him/them turn into strange geeky boy(s) just like all the RI boys I know. :P
Oh and I totally want a male first-born so that my future daughter(s) can have the older brother whom I always wanted but never had (duh). And I definitely want at least one daughter so that I can have someone to play barbie dolls and watch disney princess movies with. <333 And we can argue about who is our favourite disney prince/princess!!! And I can buy her a lot of cute dresses and hair accessories and adorable mary janes and help her tie her hair everyday. :) Then when she grows up I can go shopping with her and watch chick flicks over pizza in the living room. :D Provided we don't quarrel all the time cos she's going through puberty and i'm going through menopause or smthing...
And too bad for the boy cos I've never really thought about him. Maybe he can go play ball with his dad or smthing. Whatever that boys do! Or I'll throw him a lot of books and hopefully he turns into a bookworm and just keep quiet and don't make life difficult for me. xD
Sorry I know I have a gender bias. :(((
Had an interesting convo with my dad during the car ride to ECP.
Me: I heard that during the NUS orientation ppl will try to match-make you. I'm kind of scared so I'm wondering whether or not I should pon. Since it's like, optional. But my colleagues say that I should go for the orientation cos otherwise I'll have no friends in uni. So do you think I should go?
Dad: Don't go.
Me: Why?
Dad: You shouldn't date so early.
Me: -amused-
And actually it does sound a bit sian leh. I've never actually been very into the station games/amazing race kind of thing. And it sounds especially dreadful now with the prospects of being "match-made"? Maybe I shall just be antisocial and live in my own world. Or maybe I shall consult trinaling about this crucial decision.
Oh but unfortunately I may be saying this too early. Cos NUS has yet to reply me with an offer. T_T
NUS PLEASE OFFER ME IF NOT I WILL JUST GO JUMP DOWN FROM MY BALCONY AND DIE.
Ok I'm just joking. But I do wish to be accepted to NUS yes. Hope they reply me next week. :X -crosses fingers-

等下一个天亮 把偷拍我看海的照片送我好吗
我喜欢我飞舞的头发
和飘着雨还是眺望的眼光
