I realise most of my friends are getting hitched… gosh! So it’s no surprise when everyone starts asking when’s my turn…
Well… how does one answer such question?
Relationships are intangible matters… people who spend everyday together for years can suddenly break-up, whilst some can maintain a long-distance relationship, some finds their other halves earlier - some later, and some are called to be single…
Actually, I enjoy my freedom and spontaneity… I enjoy meeting friends especially guys without the need to seek ‘permission’… I get to play ‘mommy’ with my nephews & niece and when they throw a tantrum I’ll just pass them back to their mama… hehe… singleness is plenty of fun!
Of course there are times when I wish for a companion… Who doesn’t? When you’re attached you long for the ‘break’ you once enjoyed when you’re single… likewise when I’m in a restaurant packed with couples I do wonder where’s my ‘match’ and sometimes envy them… up till the moment their baby screams for attention =P Other times is like when I’m sick or stranded in a far-away place with no public transport in sight… otherwise I’m fine…
A lot of friends told me I’m too independent, a quality off-putting to men, who, according to them, like to be needed. Isn’t neediness bad, too?
I have to admit that my ‘guy’ (criteria) list is longer than Santa’s list 
Just the other day, I read this article written by an independent Christian lady in Christianity Today; and I quote:
"As for the men who say single women have blurred gender lines, I have only one comment: What choice do we have? Unless we’re married, we’d better be financially independent and skilled at doing things on our own. I’d love for a man to help me with these things. But if we can’t even get them to date us, how can we get them to help us, let alone marry us?"
What else can I say? 我挑选人, 人挑选我 (I’m choosy, he’s also choosy)…
Let’s just wait and see what God has planned in His blueprint for me
