So what’s the big deal about not wanting to have kids?
I don’t like kids. I think they are troublesome, fussy, time-consuming, smelly, temperemental and not to mention, expensive. Kinda like me actually, sans the smelly part. LOL.
Actually, I think, a long long long time ago, I was actually not opposed to having kids. I actually harboured intentions of eventually being a mother! And obviously a long, long, long time ago meant that I was, myself, still a kid. My life’s ambition was to grow up, get a job, get married, have kids and die (in this precise order).
Until I met this person who somehow managed to alter my thinking with a few sentences.
So, it’s the end of Monday. This week, my schedule is ridiculously packed. It’s just morning til afternoon til night, run, run…runnnn!
I guess it’s a good thing. In the line that I am in, being free and not having work to do is actually a very, very bad thing. So yeah, what with the free SGD200K insurance we’re blinging out and all the followups I need to do before my trips this month, this week is packed.
But hey, I’m looking forward to the weekend. Finally, 5 days where I can totally not think about who to call, when to meet, what to prepare, where to find new leads!! This job is completely not suitable for the neurotic worry-wart. Running your own business is so not easy!
And you know, I think I will appreciate this vacation by far more than any other vacation i’ve had in a long time.
*starts chanting*
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

I have a question. What is the probability of someone winning the sweepstakes?
It’s 1 in freaking 13,983,816! The odds of being struck by lightning is by far better – it’s a mere 576000 to 1.
In my opinion, buying 4D and TOTO is equivalent to pouring money down the drain. I mean, seriously…what are the odds of winning as opposed to losing?
1 chance to win. 13,983,815 to lose. So, if I buy 1 ticket every day of the year, I will need 38311.822 years. *faint*
Most people think nothing to blowing $30 bucks a month on buying these useless pieces of paper. Despite the extremely slim chance of being able to win, they still believe that the next big winner might just be them.
BTW, bet you didn’t know……
And the list goes on. Considering the odds, why do the same people who think they stand a good chance to win TOTO still believe that nothing will happen to them?
So please, if you are guilty of contributing on a monthly basis to Singapore Pools, do yourself a favour. Take half of what you’re spending now and get yourself a term plan. Please.

I wonder what is the secret to never taking your partner for granted? I find it so very hard to do.
In my opinion, not appreciating the little things is usually the first step toward the end.
And usually, we never realize that we’re walking on dangerous ground until it’s too late. Most of the time, we let the small things slide…but eventually when you accumulate enough to make a mountain, the ground will give way under you. Next thing you know, it’s over.
Appreciating the little things is like building the foundations to support the mountain of disagreements, tiffs, and whatnot that accumulate as the relationship matures. It’s always easy at first, when you’re bowled over by the new person and what he/she can bring. Yet as time goes by and we fall into habit, it’s by far to easy to overlook the little things that made us fall in love with the person in the first place. We stop appreciating the person, stop recognizing his good points, basically stop building the foundations for a solid relationship.
Which is why I’ve decided to keep a list of things that I like about daniel. And the things that he does for me that makes me happy. It’s too easy to forget, too easy to overlook…especially when these special things are repeated so often that they almost become an expectation.
I won’t allow the ground to collapse under me this time. I only hope that the feeling is mutual.
