Choices

Life is always about choices isn’t it?
The choices that we choose in our lives would determine the paths we take our entire life.
When we’re born, our parents had to choose our name between
This choice would ultimately see us through our entire livelihood, well, unless we change it of course.
And then there’s decisions to decide which nursery to go, which kindergarten has the best certified teachers, or which ‘ming xiao' (reads reputable school in Chinese)I should be sent to. So, it’s always about choices….

Even as you’ve grown, you had to choose between leaving everyone here to further your studies overseas in hope for a better view of the world, or stay put to be close to your loved ones but undergo the same democratic education all your life. Even in uni, the decisions have to be made on what courses to take, which modules to pick from and what extra curriculum activities to embark on. These are all choices.

Now that u’ve graduated, time to step into adult life for good, u realize that, u’ll need to decide again which job offer is better. Do u go for better pay? Or better career advancement?

Ah…and in between that all, u’ve also have to decide what are the kind of frens u like to hang out with and of course not forgetting what kind of gfs or bfs u’ll potentially fancy for a lifelong partner eventually.

So say u r working, have a stable bf/gf. U’ll have to decide whether he/she is the one to settle down with, to get married now or later or even never. When it’s time to save up, when it’s time to buy a house etc etc…………………………….

So u see, choices are never-ending in life. I should know, because I’m now at a stage where I have to decide on my next path to embark on……

Life is about choices all the time…..

A colleague of mine were just talking today about making decisions. She’s preparing her wedding now. She’s been legally married for the past year or so already, but it seems that procrastination got her to delay her actual wedding ceremony till perhaps late this year…

She advised that we should plan ahead. In fact, she told me that between she and her hubby, she was always the one taking initiative, the start of the relationship as well as their marriage. It’s kinda cute isn’t it? I don’t think I’m that “brave” really…haha

I remembered how when I was in secondary schools, me and my bunch of silly gers would always hope and dream of the day where we are grown ups, working and all independent. And definitely not forgetting having a really caring, handsome, young and successful boyfriend by your side to protect u from everything! And so with everything so beautifully painted, we would hope to get married at the age of 25, have 2 kids(1 boy and 1 girl) by 30 and live happily ever after…..

It sounded like a great plan then, but as I age towards 25….*gasped* I’m turning 25 this year!!!!! But I wonder how many of us has reached our beautifully drawn ‘picture’. So, we’re grown up, working, independent…hmm…I’m still living with my parents, so maybe cross that out. Ah…caring, handsome, young and successful boyfriend….heh heh…think I will leave that to ur discretion. So I’m left with the “get married at 25 and have2 kids(1 boy and 1 girl) by 30 and live happily ever after…..” part that is currently….I’d say under construction? Haha…..

I’m still deliberating at this point as to what choice to take to go to the next phase of my life….I should get back to work just in case I lose the second part of my “picture” yar?Heehee….
