My 20+ Worries
First of all... I have to say... HELLOS! I know its been a very long time since my last entry. I'm lazy... and I have.. nth much to talk about lately.
Todays topic will be my 20+ worries. I juz read an article in Cosmo about it and found tt i can totally relate to 90% of the article. Don't know bout the rest of u guys. Don't know if u think I'm too young to think about it. But like Alvin says "it's time to panic". I hate tt feeling.. u know the "my tail is on fire" feeling? I guess even if I do something about it.. I'll still feel my tail is on fire.
Many of my friends have alr graduated or are graduating soon. Most of them come out to this society with a certificate frm a recognised "local school". I alr lost out coz of my age.. if I did study then.... I would've alr graduated. But the past is the past... nth I can do about tt. Wish I did listen to my mum. Then maybe I won't fear the future as much. I am significantly failing in my current studies. Even if I do pass.. its probably sheer luck and last minute muggin. And IF I do graduate... I get a Diploma... frm a private institution... tt's not really as recognised compared to those pple get frm local polytechnics. Can I find a job with prospects? When I was younger... I always thought I MUST get a job tt I like. Of course if it ends up tt way... I will be much happier. But usually I dun have the luxury to do what I like without suffering minimal wage. And in this society.. if I wanna have a certain amount of savings by the time I wanna get married. I cannot get minimal wage. And if I do wanna have kids by 30.. I need have to be able to support them. Unless of coz I marry a stinkin rich guy.. then maybe I don't have to worry about tt. Then again.. it's a seperate issue altogether.
If I do marry Alvin... can I support him... financially? I cannot juz stay at home.. and leech off him. Can I find a job tt pays good enuff for the both of us to live with modern comforts? Will I be able to give my children a decent life? Of course.. tt is IF I have children. Do Alvin and I have to slog till 11pm to get an average household income of 10k by the 5th year of our marriage. Of coz... tt's a long long way to go. People say cross the bridge when u come to it.. things always magically work out.. somehow. It's very hard to believe in tt. Then again.. when I meet with problems.. I usually juz take it.. with a pinch of salt. Nothing too drastic or dramatic yet. Up until now... I can say my life has been relatively smooth.
On a lighter note.. have u guys heard tt phantom of the opera is coming to Singapore? Finally after waiting for close to a decade.. it's here. Although its not the original cast.. I believe it will be stunning!
The Taiwan trip is nearing... I'm flying in about 12 days. I'm pretty excited about the plane trip.. hehe. Like a child. Can't blame me.. I only get to fly about once in a decade? And I heard there's LOTS of good food there. I'm alr hungry.. Although I'm quite KIASU coz I'm gonna bring instant mash potato... instant soup and snacks. In case I get hungry in the middle of the night. LOL. I'm a pig. Downside.. I come back home on the 1st.. Alvin my dearest.. is flying on the 3rd to Thailand.. for another 7days. So... we kinda won't be seeing each other for half a month. SOBS. BTW.. mum bought Elisa and I some diamonds frm Poh Heng. With the discount and trade in with gold.. she only paid $17. HAHA. Cool right? Alvin cut his hair.... VERY SHORT. I'm still not used to it.. But I muz honestly say he does look good. XD
