What is important to me?

That will be..

LOVE ~ Pure and Enduring.

Self Development -- In terms of speaking, writing, knowledge, critical thinking, creative thinking, EQ, personality etc.. Forever yearning for more improvements.

Exposure ** It's a subset of self development I guess. To be exposed to many cultures over the World, with my loved one. Widen my perceptions. Feast my senses.

Material Satisfaction -- Not a nice big house or an expensive car (Though, a pink or purple car is a bonus. That is till I ever go get a license), but the ability to buy the clothes, the bags, the shoes, make up..as and when I want. Don't have to be branded material goods. The financial abiltiy to travel!travel!travel!


What happen to my family? What happen to a relationship wih God?


^^^^^^^^^^

Anyway, I have only been together with JJ for one and a half month. But strangely, the topic of marriage has been raised quite a number of times.

Especially from JJ's mommy. Some stuff she has said so far

#1
JJ's mama to me :How do you find my son? Is he good to you?
Me: That's a very weird question...
Just then, JJ came into the room so I didn't have to answer that question.

#2
JJ's mama to me: I will be very good to my daughter in law, cook for her and all leh. Whoever is my daugther-in-law will be treated well.

#3
JJ's mama to JJ and me: I just ask for for another 10 years of lifespan to see my grandchildren.

#4
At today's supper, JJ's mama to a coffee shop auntie: This is my son's gf. Three more years and we will "marry her" into the family.
JJ to me: Did you hear what she say?

#5
JJ's grandmama to JJ's mama: If they can get along with each other, quickly ask JJ to marry her into the family.


"Marry her into the family" -- I have said these twice. They were said in Chinese ba3 ta1 qu3 guo4 lai2. I was attempting to tranlate it into English, but I know the way i have phrased it is wrong. haha

Have I eaten lobsters before? Why have I never ordered lobsters? Have I categorised myself into a class of people who cannot afford such "luxury foods"? Why have I categorised myself this way? Am I nuts? Of course, I can afford luxury foods. Soon!

^^^

And I wondered why JJ sometimes makes comments such as he thinks I will earn more than him when I start working ( at the beginning stage that is). Today, we talked about our material goals, and when it was my turn to say, he said, "Your sure very ambitious right?" Hmm...since when am I an ambitious girl?

I just want to have a loving faithful husband and 3 children, and be able to go travel!travel!travel! Never had the desire to climb the corporate ladder or so. I am not good employee material..Sshhhh! Keep this secret for me. haha...Well, of course, I would ultimately want to be my own boss.. We'll see.

Hey, know what?

I never had the desire to climb the corporate ladder too!

But I've never said this out, 'cos it seems to me everyone is striving to make it big, and ultimately I would seem so little next to them. Maybe they'll even despise me!

I just want to have a little shop that I can sell stuff that are of my interest; and by having just enough money to make ends meet, I'd be happy. Just have to save a bit more to splurge at times.

I used to have a dream of wearing power suits and working in those tall buildings at Raffles Place. But as I grew up, I came to realise that wasn't what I want at all!

And recently, I've grown to relish the thought of just having my little shop, and maintain a family/home. I'm THAT easily contented. Heh.
