me: Will you want to have kids?WL: Yeah, but not now.
me: Does your wife want to have kids too? You guys talked about it before?
WL: Well, no. But at a certain age, women will want to have kids.
Do you call that a chauvinist? Geez, I can't believe that there are people who will still think this way now, in this present age. Why assume that 'maternal instincts' strikes women?
me: I don't think I will want to have kids!
WL: You are still young, u will think differently when you are older
How presumptuous!
me: Why do u want to have kids? The world is already a very sad place to be in, why have them to suffer?
WL: Do you want to be old and sick with no one to care for you?
me: So kids are some kind of retirement plan? Is that why u want to have kids? Kinda selfish huh?
WL: You want to be left on the streets when u are old and dying?
me: If u plan wisely for your retirement, I am sure you will do fine.
(seriously, kids sap away way too much of our money. U either invest in some stocks/shares or in kids)
Frankly, I am not that certain about my stand on having kids. But I am not that keen on them either. I have always dreaded living that routine life. You know, get your degree, get a 9 to 5 job, get married, have about 2 kids, bring them up, retire and die. Can I skip the kids part and travel around the world instead? Live in the antartic for a month and watch penguins. Trek for a year through the Himalayas. Go island-hopping in the mediterranean. Admire the aurora borealis from Alaska. Oh, so many things to do. So little money!
By the way, I had a nightmare a few nights ago. i dreamt of ghost and stuff like that. I totally freaked out. I sat in bed for 30mins after I woke up. Still rather shaken! Geez!!
