Marriage
Somehow most girls of my age, would yearn to get married, to give birth to kids and have a happy family of their own. It’s the natural order of life.
I’m no different. But I can’t help but feel that lately, it has become so commercialised that even getting married to the better half, has somehow become a pretty expensive thing to pay for.
My primary school friend, who’s the only buddy I’m in contact with, is throwing her wedding dinner on the 16th of September, 2007. She got married legally back in 2004 I think. Sometimes destiny is such a weird thing, I still remember the time I attended her ex-boyfriend’s chalet with her, and got quite close to the ex bf’s sister, who was aged 10 back then.
Thereafter, when she broke off with him, and after she got hitched again, to her second bf [her husband now], I’ve never seen him before. And within 3 months of them being together, she told me she felt that he was The One. It was a little disbelieving.
But now, it really shows that you do not need a long period of time to tell you how your other half and yourself, would turn out. Fate is such a weird thing. Hmm.
Then it suddenly dawned upon me, that somehow a few of the friends I have, who have their marital status changed to ‘married’, have very few ex-boyfriends, if none.
Nanyan and Huichuan, both got married to their first love. My friend, Baoru, got married to her second boyfriend. Shuyan got married to her first love as well.
Does that mean that my turn would come LAST? Haha. :p
And when I watched the 9pm’s ‘Million-Dollar Baby’, starring Zoe Tay and Li Nan Xing, there was this line said by a divorced lady, that sometimes the one you love may not be the one you marry. And the one you marry may not be the one you love the most. As long as you don’t abhor the idea of marrying & living in the same pad with your pursuer, why not?
Though I’m already of marriageable age, I seriously cannot fathom the day I am somebody’s wife. O.o Nor can I imagine myself to be someone’s mother. O.o
But I feel like giving birth already. Haha. :p
