Parenting

I was going to bed when i read abt an update of an old but not-so-close friend. I remembered there was once when i wrote his shot gun marriage. Several months have passed, his wife is 7 mth pregnant and ready to deliver soon. Marriage has indeed make a change in his life.

When i know him, he was still in the army. He will always be at the podium almost every wed without fail at zouk, including Dbl O on wkend. Blissfully wed, he is now a father of a girl. I cant imagine a guy who is always so playful, becoming a responsible parent. In the past, he is directionless, now he has a objective to work for in life. If that is what he wanted, I congratulate him.

Compare to his peers, he has lost all the freedom and fun that he should enjoy at this stage in life. Due to his "carelessness", he created a life. I am not sure abt his wife (wife looks young too), but both are taking a huge responsiblity ahead. It is not as simple as they tot. If time could revert, they would probably prefer a child later.

Raising a child is never easy. Although i dun have a child, watching my sister bringing up her kid, plus the tuition kid that i had, i am fully aware of the stress that parents need to go thru. I guess it will be my turn in a few years time too. hahaha.... For now, its still me. And i want to enjoy every moment i have.

A kid create miracles, he/she will make a change in our life. However, I prefer to see him/her later in life. ha. I am not ready for a kid yet, but i am definitely ready for a greener pasture. whahaha....
