Fie for Thought

Sunday, November 16, 2008

I was chatting with my cousin recently on the issue of getting married and having a child. I used to not want a child but after giving it a thought, I guess its ok to have one. I'd prefer a girl. So I went on to survey my married/engaged friends on their future plannings.

The ones that are married, warned me not to spend so much on the wedding, but spend it all on the honeymoon and the new home. Yes, a grand wedding is a once in a lifetime thing, but to spend thousands of dollars on one event and have none left is rather a waste if you ask me. I rather use that money go for a grand honeymoon, renovate my new house uberly nice, and if there's a baby coming, there's money left to sustain him/her. I remember the time when I was a little kid, 3-4yrs old, my dad actually make most of the furniture at home himself. Those times were rather hard on my parents. Another example is my friend. He spend 40k ringgit and another 15k SGD for his grand wedding. In the end, he had 7k left with an empty house. No money for furniture or renovations. Took him 2 long hard lived years to get back on track. He even asked his wife for abortion because they've decided that they won't be able to support the baby.

Money, money, money. Lol. I guess it evolves around just about anything.

On a lighter note, work's been good so far and again because of my age and my short 1 year experience, people just don't believe the work that I've done. Biasness.

Just wait and see...
