jie jie or auntie?

previously i thought of a question & did ask a friend b4 cos she was my sec sch friend & alrdy had a girl in nursery & another inside her then. durin d conversation, asked her wat would she get her girl to call me if we bump into ea other outside. to call me jie jie or auntie? no matter what, it's still sound weird.

call jie jie yet same age s mummy. call auntie yet sound so old. mayb call ah yi might sound better? lol... my friend's reply then was call jie jie but i noe in d small, simple mind of d kid would wonder hw to differentiate btw jie jie & auntie & y jie jie & not auntie, etc...

been thru tt stage. mum said when i small small, i would greet everybody when i see, esp in d lift. but fr my memories, i would wonder & start to keep to myself & dare not open my mouth & call cos u noe la, some ppl will b v particular & get mad if call wrongly. mayb cos i grew older le & noe of such complications

anw, on sat, went downtown east chalet w dear. his colleague's daughter celebrate 1st bday. & few of his colleagues oso bring their wives & kids too. they seemed to have ask their kids to know dear s 'uncle' & would regard me s 'jie jie' but thr is 1 who said something tt it's weird tt 1 is uncle & another is jie jie, etc etc & tell her gal tt i'm 'auntie'.

did sound old but whatever la. mayb call ah yi might sound better but they speak english one & so in english term, still auntie. lol. but it's still weird tt an auntie is still an undergraduate who is gonna struggle for another 1 more yr... hahaha...

tokin bout 1 more yr, shld say less than tt ba. but sch gonna start. 1 more wk exactly fr nw. this will b my final sem w notes, lectures, tutorials, assignments, exams, etc cos final sem will b FYP. & this would really b my last sem to try to get my gpa back to a min lvl. gonna b a tough challenge but i'll work hard no matter wat. esp since it's d last sem of studyin.

s for FYP, shall see how, most likely come back to where i'm attached nw since i sort of got a bit of a head start in a project. if i do it elsewhr, will have to start all over again & readapt to their lab culture. i don wan another lab culture shock & then readjust to their style. FYP not v long for me to readapt. i wanna chop chop faster start, & mayb get results faster & then can read up & write up.

but frankly speakin, i quite like it now. no need study, no need exams, etc. & though at times, might end later, yet i not a staff & not a graduate student so i'm not tied down with anything thing or contract. & so i'm a free bird. & have a place in d office to sit & had a comp to use. what more can i expect? if got bit of pay, even better, don mind if it's based on hour basis. tt b even greater. if i wan, i work longer, if i don wan, work lesser, but i in ctrl of my time & money... but even part time job oso gotta fixed a certain time & day to work. haiz... & i definitely wont choose to work fr hm. stayin hm b even more stress & oso being caged too loh...
