The BIG "M"~



Morning folks.

Here is the deal, I was having my Christmas and New Year Break back in my hometown a while ago so you can say that I was kinda free (Although NOT really, since I have a few assignments to do before the school break ends and I have some other stuffs to attend to.) and so I took the initiative to, among other things such as restarting my blog which no one follows and coming to terms that my FINALS for my Law course (LLB) is like only 128 days away, browse through some of my primary school friends, secondary school friends and also friends from my Form 6 (Lower and Upper)'s fb profiles to be, well, updated in a particular way.

Which leads us to the main point of this blog that I am making:
"It never occur to me THAT SO MANY OF MY FRIENDS ARE ALREADY REGISTERED IF NOT ENGAGED OR ARE HAPPILY MARRIED ALREADY!!!"

Before I go any further, here is to all my friends that are already married, engaged or registered: "Congratulations! May your marriage be filled with all the right ingredients: a heap of LOVE, a dash of HUMOUR, a touch of ROMANCE, and a spoonful of UNDERSTANDING. May your JOY last forever." =)

Ok~ Back to the point.

I am just curious.
Is it me, aged 23, (Aged 24 in a few days time) that is slacking behind or is it the norm to get married at an early age nowadays?? I mean all my friends are already working, buying new cars, buying new properties and so on but HERE I AM still struggling with the 2nd year (All in all there are 3 years for the University of London External Progamme that I am currently pursuing) of my LLBs with no dreams or future in sight whereas my friends are, one by one, getting married and happily settling down as a family man/woman.

Yeah I know~ FML!!! (TT")~

But after using like an eternity just thinking about it and also discussing it with my friends and family members, I realised it is NOT that I am slacking behind, and it is also NOT that my friends are getting married just for the sake of keeping up with the norm...

The TRUE answer is that I AM JUST NOT READY TO VENTURE OUT OF THIS SHELL OF MINE and TO STEP INTO THE WORLD OF MARRIAGE.

Just thinking of marriage is sending chills down my spine.
I mean I cannot bear the thought of having, hypothetically, my wings clipped and being tied down with the serious business called "MARRIAGE" for the time being.

I can't even stand the fact of having my freedom being controlled by my gf but thats another story.

In short, it is still too early for me to commit myself to a marriage.

For this, I would like to salute the courage and bravery of my friends who are already happily married and settling down.
Sincerely, I really admire your courage for taking the next step at such an age.
