dimsum with clara

after a long week, we took a break from work and went out to dimsum, just clara and i. we went to a new place in chinatown (or atleast new because i had never been there), and i loved the familiarity of the atmosphere. it was fun having one on one time because we got a chance to talk about careers and the pros and cons of going corporate vs non-profit, and what possibilities i would have after i graduated next year. since she has been on both sides, she shared the ups and downs for both and gave me lots of food for thought. on the drive home, she said something which i really really liked.

"everyone has a novel in them. its just whether or not you choose to write it."

i wonder what the next chapter in my novel will be..
