the mind of an engineer

when talking about the prospect of buying an apartment in melbourne so that i wouldn't have to rent a place and the apartment can be leased out in the future.....

me: but i only have one more year left..
dad: no you have two.
me: no.. one only wad. i graduate next year!
dad: ya but you're doing masters. (said with strong conviction)
me: huh? who said?
dad: i say. so anyway (blah blah blah...)

i was trying so hard to supress my laughter.

but i let out a chuckle when he kept asking if i checked with my friends or immigration about ways to get a PR.

it's really funny how out of the blue he calls.
and 15 mins after he said "bye", he is still talking.
the existence of a plan to get a place (the thought never even crossed my mind! not even close)
and the plan for me to do masters..
and get a PR so that mummy and daddy can come over and plant a cabbage patch in a little garden at the back of the house in glenwaveryly where every other asian family lives.

hahaha it's funny! it's like all of a sudden my life is planned without my input, and certainly without my knowledge.

i've gotta tell mummy. :D
