Getting too caught up with milestones and such only blinds you to the now. You are only ever going to be in the “now” - you’ve been in the past, and you will never be in the future.

I like the "give me angpows every year" comment. Hahahah.....during CNY I especially love to go up to my cousins who are around my age and who are married, stick my hand out and say *ahem*. Hahahah.... honeypot: you’re back! :)

Me:Never.Please be prepared to shower me with angpows every chinese new year. The thing is, I can easily afford a Rm50,000 mortgage and a car loan for a second hand kancil.Just because I choose to spend all my money on what makes me happy (travelling) does not make me an idiot or any less responsible than my cousins. Another bizzare thing. This chinese new year I answered the same question with "I am getting married in December". No one believed me. And they shut up.For those on the line of fire,try this, it might just shut them kepohs up. Yep girls do have it easier.But not much!What I used to say is:

You put on weight ah?? Well, this way I have boobs and a butt lady. I totally sympathise with you mooi (lucky your parents are cool tho!) - my sis is the eldest grandchild on my dad's side and the cousins after her are married. So you can imagine how much pressure she gets. Honestly, times like these I feel like telling my rellys off for their lack of manners and sensitivity. The next in line for marriage is the one just before me, so I'm gonna be in the firing line soon. tolong... Yea, nowadays I just answer tactless aunties with either a joke or sarcasm.

Or a novel. ;) You're right about the culture thing - imagine my situation if you can. My dad is the oldest son, I'm the oldest son in my family, and I'm the oldest grandchild with the family name. Woah. Hahahha...so I'm meant to "carry" on the family name. But credit to my parents 'cos I don't feel any pressure at all. I think they realise that today is vastly different from their times.
