In Trouble

I am in deep "trouble"... No, i did not do anything wrong with my work, nor other things.

Anyway this will be a happy "trouble", and it will come next year or the year after next. Still dunno what's that?

Before i shall reveal what that "trouble" is, first, let me tell you the story.


Prologue:
Went to meet Joshua and Zhi Xiang for dinner today. Joshua jio pool, but i was too tired to go, so i declined his jioing. Later, we (zhi xiang and me) went back to his void deck and do the thing we both do best at, talk cock.


Story:
Out of boredom, i started going through my phone book list and started calling all my old UG friends. Called them one by one, including the Teacher Officer of the UG of the school i was attached to as an instructor. Started asking how are they, any updates of the others (read, gossip). Managed to jio another 2 ppl to join us talking cock.

Well, questions started to flow around, with the 4 of us. The usual questions about how well you getting on and all those crap. Then we chatted about the old times, the happy memories of the past, (we are all instructors from the same UG, all in the same Area), the past activities we had conducted, lamated about the present working life, etc etc. Then we update the 2 new arrivals on any information that we had acquired through the phone calls. We are a close knitted ppl, even though i seldom see each other except for Zhi Xiang.

The most asked questions was : " When you getting married?"

That's when i knew i am in "trouble".


Epilogue:
The trouble was not the pressure that ppl ask how come i am still single. All those out there who knew me, know that i am single, and knowing me, they no need to ask why.

The "trouble"is that it seems like everyone around me in that UG last time, during our era, is getting married, or having plans to get married in the next 2-3 years. Got the meaning?

No? Okie, let me explain. Getting married, means banquet, and guests attending or not attending, upon invitation, have to give ang pows. Got it?

No, i am not being stingy, as i had mentioned, its a happy "trouble" to see all those close friends of mine getting married. Good to see them settling down, and start raising a family. I feel happy for them.

But still, there goes the new car i have been dreaming of buying in the 2-3 years time.
