Thinking post: ROMs and Friends
blog surfing once again. This time around read about another ROM of a friend. That makes up 1 fren with child, 2 ROMed. They are all secondary school friends. While they are the next stage of life of building a home and planning for the future, i am still hanging about; worrying about school, about jobs, about fun. Not in a hurry to settle down.
Marriage, afterall, is a union of 2 people, and their families to accept different values and cultures. What a scary thought if you think of it. It is no longer "You and your Parents" but "You and your Wife/Husband" AND "You and your parents" AND "you and HER/HIS parents'. Complexity of relationships triple.
Certainly, it marks the resolve and committment that a couple has to put in for the next 50(?) years of their life. Arrival of 'bundles of joy' comes and adds in more spices (hopefully, more fragrant and not pungent) to life.

Life. Life. Life. Drats. i realised (again) that i hit 20twenties. becoming an antique soon. Think i should get some age defying cream and some wrinkle free eye lotion later.
I think, i gotta prepare money for angbaos in the next few years.
