(Retyped from an original handwritten entry on 15th May 2013)

[NOTE: First paragraph deleted]

Went to a late dinner with SF. She told me about her plans to further her studies abroad. Her boyfriend can come up with the finances. Unforch, her parents are putting her on a guilt trip saying she should spend more time with the family as once she is married, she'll live away from home

We went through the whole gamut of issues, from parent and child - the generation gap, to other family, friend and relatives, finances, sexist issue and ultimately, the big picture scene i.e. how she'd feel now and in the years to come as oppose to her parents' feelings?
