It’s funny to see how I never get the pressure to get a boyfriend and to get married. My Mum even thought that it was too fast to let me go, as in married. But now that I’m married for more than a year, they’ve started to bring up the baby topic and prenatal vitamins whatsoever, especially on last Chinese New Year.

We were having lunch when my Mum asked,”so when do you plan to have baby?” *surprise* Just so you know, she’s never been this straight and to the point before. I told her that it’s not the time yet, that we have other business plans to do. Ok, so I’ve tackled my Mum.

During a dinner, I was asking what is my Mum’s activity nowadays since my bro already studied at KL. Nothing, very free, she said. My Dad entered in,”that’s why faster have a baby so that your Mum can go there and help you.”

On another time, he will remind me that next year is a dragon year and it’s good to have a shio dragon baby.

I can see it as a pressure, or that they care for me. But geez, here I’m stating again (a note to myself actually), we aren’t mentally and financially ready.

I’m not so scare the financial part cause as we work hard, the green paper will surely come, unless we stop working and lazying around. Some more I heard this quote from a Christian radio that goes something like this,”When it’s the right time for you to have a child, eventually God will give you enough to raise the child.”

The mental part is the hardest one. A friend said, having baby means splitting the love between spouse and baby, also means losing freedom. Yes, so true. No more spontaneous dating, traveling, work like no tomorrow, and more.

We won’t be young for a second time, so whatever with the society pressure cause we are the one living our life.

Probably 5 years later I will look back at this entry and laugh at how I was so scare of losing my freedom etc. But for now, we are happy with just the two of us, and maybe a puppy.
