Making Babies

Making babies, having children, starting a family.

Is that a marriage is really all about?

In the short span of time I have been back, Ive attended 2 month-old-birthday parties for my niece and nephew and saw my cousin with her almost exploding belly and just received news that my colleague is 3 months pregnant. And on top of that, Ive also talked to a colleague who just got married and is trying REALLY REALLY hard for a baby.

I can't help but think, is having a baby the be all and end all of a relationship? Maybe I am just abnormal for not wanting to have children. But I won't deny it, seeing people 'popping' babies makes me wonder if I should go with the flow as well.

Obviously I am not lousy with children and I don't dislike them either. On the contrary, I am comfortable with children and I do like them. I miss my kids from Ashurst so much and I wish if I ever have kids, they can be like my first-graders.

No, I shan't rush myself. Sorry Mr Blackie, but you shall just have to wait patiently.

Soldier'sman's wife - Listen to the music, read my lyrics

I will live my life as a soldierman's wife on an island in the blue bay.
He will take care of me, he will smell like the soil.
And close to my heart he'll always stay.

I will bear three girls all with strawberry curls, little Lily and Anna and Jade.
While I'm combing their hair, I will catch his warm stare
On our island in the blue bay.

Far away far away, I want to go far away.
To a new life on a new shore line.
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
To another island, in another life.

There's a boy next to me and he always will be everything and the man of my life.
And I think he's the tops, he's where everything stops.
How I love to love him from afar.
When he walks right pass me then I finally see on in his arms I always stay
So I'm taking my man to an old distant town
On an island in the blue bay.

Far away far away, I want to go far away.
To a new life on a new shore line.
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
To another island, in another life.
I want to go far away.

Away away, I want to go far away, away, away
I want to go far away, far away.
Where the water is blue and the people are new.
To another life, to another life.
To another shore lineIn another life..

Ive been wanting to blog this for a while. But think something tip me over the edge today to actually do this today.

Whats wrong with men/Singaporean men?

The other day, I took a bus to work. Already, bus 57 to depot road comes like once every half hour and its super crowded during peak hour. But on this day I was onboard, I was standing infront of this man who was taking up 2 seats! Like he was oblivious to the fact that the bus was full and his bag and his 'need' to read newspaper was taking up the other seat! Ok, granted that his legs was quite long, but I was annoyed that he didn't even bother to pretend to move his bag to allow a person to have the seat. He just kept his nose in the newspaper who passengers who were standing struggled to keep their balance.

Then today I was driving along Old Airport Road. The traffic was heavy but I saw a guy trying to turn out of a side road, so I stopped to let him out first. Anyway there was much space in front for me. This male driver looked in awe like noone has ever extended courtesy before was took a looong time before he gathered himself to acutally make that turn out. But by then I was getting honked by the drivers behind me.

It sure doesnt pay to be kind.

Then! I stopped to allow a man cross the zebra crossing. And yes, although it was his right of way and I don't expect him to wave as a gesture of thanks but he could have NOT stared and "GEEN" me like I almost run him down!

FED-UP!!!!!
