If you had know me long enough, I had always wanted to get married at the age of 21 and start a family early. Apparently, I only started dating at 19 with A and he is my first boyfriend.
It is quite impossible to settle down after 2 yrs of courtship, as he was still serving NS, while Im schooling. Thereafter step by step, we went ahead to ballot for a BTO in 2012
(read). This led us to the next step - Marriage.
My initial plan was just a simple ROM with relatives and closed friends, which failed terribly just because my parents wanted the customary wedding dinner. Honestly, I felt that we did our planning well. Our flat will take about 5 yrs to completion date. So we could have sufficient time to save for the house.
By then Im almost done with my degree. Grad-ed in early 2013. Secured a job mid of that year and still working with them.
Followed by our ROM in Sept 2013. We are now hitting our 3rd year anniversary soon. Unfortunately, A will be sailing for that week. We hardly celebrate any of our special occasions, unless its that special. So because of my parents, we had to plan our customary dinner within 3 months hence they are being so insistent. Then we had our customary dinner Feb 2014.
I was worried dead because I was pregnant and really dislike doing this rah rah stuff. Much more like unnecessary because the amount of time and money needed to fork out. Fortunately event was smooth except for some small matters which was resolved easily. On the other hand, I was glad and happy lah cause we had some small earnings from and for just the dinner (excluding all other expenses).
Fast forward, today I had two very lovely kids at the age of 27 (just turn 27 not long ago). Though korkor really driving my sanity to the next level, they and A are still what matters for me.
They are the ones driving me to stay strong and forward looking. Next thing that
I we are anticipating is out BTO! Heard that key collections will be last quarter of 2016.
Regards,
Weina
