Why no one ever tells me this never-ending trend??

I should have seen it coming when one of my cousins got married when she was just 18 (or 20...). It is a trap! A trap set up for innocent, naive peepz like me! (Okay...may not innocent & naive.)

The next news came when my poly classmate married at the age of 21 soon after her graduation. The third one came when my ex-colleague-cum-ex-schoolmate-cum friend did the same thing when she was 23 or 24. One of my closest friends replicated the process when she was 23 going 24.

THE ultimate bomb came when I found out that several people I know from my secondary school days had gotten married too, albeit those who seemed like they will soar along the streets of Shenton Way like a supersonic jet! And now, the offsprings they come!!

Fortunately (or unfortunately??), one of my friends is further propagating the ritual this weekend & I will be helping out at the church ceremony. Tell me who's the fella who reported that women of our generation are marrying late & I'll gladly take a swing at his bom-boms, like the hungry, menacing soccer boots eager to smack at the hapless soccer ball! I am not born of a thousand fingers & toes to count those I knew & married young!!

Someone should hire me to do a more accurate survey on how early (or late) women are getting hitched & at the same time, help me to cover the outgoing cashflows. Getting married in Singapore ain't cheap for the couple AND the invited guests, ya know??
