This baby thingy...
Okokok.. no, I'm not planning to have a baby now.... perhaps next year.... ok? so, clear?
Anyway, have been surrounded by friends who just became new mothers.. ermm.. 4 of them so far? Yeah.. and I don't know that if I'm looking forward to it.. If my biological clock tells me 5 years more, I guess I'll stretch right to the maximum of 5 years later.. but that's the thing... it's NOT!
I'm truly still not prepared for it... though, I have no resistance for it.. but call me selfish if you want, I hate to see my "freedom" go when someone called "baby" comes along.. Right now, I am just able to pack my stuffs and go... Want to go home? Yeah.. just pack and go... Want to go cycling? Yeah, just pack and go.. Want to go for a holiday? Just pack and go...
But once you got a lil one at home.. the whole thing changes! Our livess!!! It will most prolly revolve around the lil one for the first 5 years.. hahaha..
Yes, I don't deny that it's really heart-warming to hear my friends stories about their lil ones.. and they're just so adorable and cute and all things that a baby is.. (remember, I have two nieces who I watch them grew since they were born!). And also how wonderful it is to be pregnant and to be a mum! (100% so far tells me they enjoy motherhood). But you know what? All these still can't truly convince me to be a mother... hahaa.. unless The Almighty One just zap and says.. "Oh shut-up, nah, have one" then of course, I have no choice... I still think I'm too young. :P
Well, the reason why I need to start planning and getting myself ready is because everyone (and facts) tells me it's good to have your first one before you reach 30. And calculating the age of my kids when I retire is another issue that I'm starting to "give-in". See, my mum now, not even retired, her daughter is already married coming to 2 years.. "ho-miah" they call it "blessed" in Hokkien. And of course, not forgetting the fact that the younger you give birth, the healthier your baby is, and also, the lesser complications there are, and the list goes on... go ask the doc if you need more details...
So if you're asking me if I'm looking forward for it? Yes and No.. more of No actually.. kekeke..
Hahaha.. ok.. just my ramblings...

i do agree with you, you will know when u are ready for a kiddo. :) and, u might try to get a dog first, coz trust me, from someone who has TWO, they are awfully close to having babies, in terms of responsibility. I can;t just pack my bag and go somewhere. I have to look for accomodation that allows dogs if we go somewhere and not want to put them in a kennel...
Anyway, i think the fact that u said u want to have a baby next year, a lot of ppl will think (like myself, heheheh) u would have started the ball rolling this year, coz babe, it takes NINE months to get them out! heheh.. and the trying process as well! :P
planning to have bb end of next yr.. haha.. because i prefer year end babes.. :P yeah, have a dog currently now in spore.. but it's my landlady's.. and also, i have one in melaka... mum is taking care of it.. but at the same time, yeah, she really treats the dog like a kid! giving the dog half boiled eggs and HL fresh milk! How spoilt! kekeke...
oh no! dogs cant have human sort of milk! coz their body cant take it... better let your mom know. :) they cant hv food with milk and oso choc. :) and grapes too, come to think of it... :P It's different when you take care of the dog all by yourself, it is really like having a baby, coz cant go out too late, coz need to feed them, let them out to do their business, give them their monthly health shots... even get insurance for them! hahahaha....
Anyway, dont stress with the baby thing la, it comes when it wants to come! :D
