I have been plagued by two questions lately.

The most obvious one is no doubt : " When the hell are you going to start looking for a girlfriend?" This is nothing new of course, when relatives try to create conversation during Chinese New Year period. I of course have my own set of answers to appease them, luckily they exert more pressure to my brother to get married and hence their attention were diverted. Lucky me!

But now even my mum starts to tell me to know more girls! Never before my parents had told me that in my entire 25+ years alive. Just yesterday during dinner, my brother asked me if the group of friends that i was meeting after the dinner were females. Then my mum said, "Eh, i thought last time you received a letter to ask you to join some groups or society to make friends?"

Yes, my mum was referring to the SDU. And i nearly fell off my chair and choked on the carrot cake i was savouring. No disrepect to SDU, i am not put off by SDU. Just that my parents are growing increasingly worried that i am going to be left on the shelf.

Aiyah, i think it will come in Autumn. haha..my good friends will know why.

The second question is..." Why aren't you getting a driving license!!"

i am swarmed by this question countless times which i still fail to fathom why my friends and relatives are interested to know.

It is really my lazy bones acting up being the reason why i am not learning driving. And people will retort " you can drive your brother's car if you have a license!"

That really put me off. Big time. I dun like the idea of driving my brother's car because i didn't pay a single cent in buying the car. So i am not using things that don't belong to mine. Simple reasoning which i dunno why people around failed to understand.

It is just like will you sleep in a flat which your siblings bought though it is seldom used? I won't. cos i didn't pay a single cent for it.
