ultimate question of the year answered without realize

I’ve been lazing around the house for quite some time just waiting to get back for the new term. Apart from lazing, I also did some thinking. Thinking about the future for I have only about half a year to finish my degree, half a year for industrial training and then if Allah swt willing I would finish my degree next year on April. Last weekend I was doing some bonding girl time with my bestfriend ann. We were at McDonalds and she popped one lethal question, the question that I have been dreading slash avoiding for quite some time this year.

What are your plans for the future?

In other words, what she really meant is what I am going to do after I have finish with my studies. I stutter for awhile, giving a long opening speech which I was really buy myself some time looking for the appropriate words so that I’d looked smart. You see, with ann, she got this thing that she is a keep-moving-forward kind of person. She plans things although she didn’t realize she was doing it but she did and 99% she sticks with her plans but with add-ons crazy fun things. Getting back to her question, I don’t really know what to say. She asked about our plans getting a place somewhere in KL and do job-hunting together. She has friends offering a place in Ampang and Kampung Baru. We did plan to live together someday, but I don’t really want to start a life in KL. I prefer JB. The idea was left hanging for awhile until we really finish our studies. Later, while munching on fries, I said to her, “ann, you know that I want to take a level up with my studies after I finish with my degree. You know, unlike you and farah (my other best friend forever), im not lucky in the love department. Therefore, I was thinking, after my degree’s over, i would work for a year and see if there’s love within that one year. If there is none, I would pursue my studies and if there is love, I would not continue studying”. After saying those words, I just realize I have the answer for that ultimate question. But then again, plans might change. Who knows right?
