You: but I don't intend on going there
Stranger: 到那读大学 好像毕业完要留在新加坡工作 8年好像
Stranger: 为什么
You: especially since we're a mainly chinese community, it's more attractive for chinese scholars
You: well the course I'm interested in isn't very reknowned in NUS
You: 8 years? for college?
You: i don't think so
Stranger: 呵呵 你向往去哪呢
Stranger: 读完大学在新加坡工作8年 还是5年 具体我也记不清了
You: oh, after studying
You: I'm not sure about that
Stranger: 是
You: usually if they're on scholarship they need to work for the company that offered it to them
You: depending on scholarship the duration is different
You: for me I'm not really sure where I'd go. The US, maybe.
Stranger: 在中国 很多人向往去美国呀
You: well the US is very powerful
You: a lot of business to be done there
You: I want to go because I want a change of environment, mostly
You: and the schools there have better courses for me

You: where do you want to go?
Stranger: 北京 上海 ? 也许也想去美国 不确定
Stranger: 你对什么专业感兴趣
You: I'm going to try for an arts course. Interactive entertainment, like video games.
Stranger: 和我感兴趣的方向不一样
You: haha, definitely
You: I guess I don't have much choice, either
You: I don't have interest in anything else, and my math results aren't good enough for engineering
Stranger: 每个人努力了都会有机会的 每个人感兴趣点都不一样
You: true.
Stranger: 每个行业都会有他杰出的人
Stranger: 呵呵
You: well I love art and video games, so i think it won't be so bad
Stranger: 热爱艺术的都是天才在我看来 艺术家和科学家
Stranger: 都是天才
Stranger: 极度敏锐的思维
You: haha, very deep
You: you're right, i guess
You: but even talent needs to be developed
You: if there's talent but no interest, there's no point
Stranger: 所以要后天的学习 自己的努力
Stranger: 还要有专注 这点很重要
You: I'll keep that in mind then
You: anyway, i have to go. It's been fun, haha
You: this bilingual thing isn't so bad
Stranger: 我这也有点迟了,我准备去睡觉啦
