To Thee I Wed

Saturday, November 3, 2007

My cousin is getting married in a month time, and the bride to be is younger than him, I was talking with my sister, that if she's marrying for love or for money? Well, mainly because my uncle is considered quite a wealthy man, but he has yet to made it to Forbes billionaire's list, but in the local community he is considered RICH.

I've had quite a laugh when my sister tells me the reason for the rush into marriage, because maid is very expensive these days and she need an in law to do all the work. As you know it, typical Chinese, they treat all their in laws as maid. I think it's a horrible thing, to marry a maid? Unless we are in Saudi Arabia where being a housewife is a profession. They get paid for staying in the house taking care of stuff. I've heard, the pay is real god, better than most of them working in Malaysia in that cubicle

I'd wish to know, what on earth do you think when you're about to marry a rich guy? Maid all over? Manolo, Jimmy Choo? Well, maybe a fake one. You'll have to see how the family becomes rich first, if they become rich because they are smart, well, it's good, if they become rich because they are a miser, you might like to think twice. 

Then, the only thing that makes the marriage horrible would be the in laws. If you married a guy who is rich because of her dad's money, there is no guarantee the son will have the access to that bank easily. If you rather, move out, and live a less luxurious life, but a happier one. 

A Writing Contest

Thursday, November 1, 2007

If you don't already know, there's a writing competition which had been around since like forever, ah, well, maybe not forever, but was a big hit with the old school bloggers who was so into it then, and it requires them to write a novel. 

I wanted to try out, even registered it, twice, but to no avail, I never completed any story because I couldn't made up my mind on what to write. There's a lot to be written, but start from what? I could have all kind of stuff in my mind right now, but till I've cleared my mind, I think I can write something out, it starts today, and they've sent a reminder asking me if I want to be a participant again, well, it can be something good, but I can only start on the middle of the month that is where my exam ended, and this give other competitor an advantage of time, it would be something a little bit of a rush

I won't be like in that one of the Sean Connery movie, finding forrester, where i quote him,punch the letter in, writing is about writing, there is no thinking involve. It is a little interesting that such theory work in the movie, I really does hope I can finish it like the way he said it.Although, seriously, I think my vocabulary is slowly depleting because I had yet to use them for so many years, buried in this wretched world of Malay speaking world, and all English technical term, I guess they were right, engineers have their own unique sets of language that only their kind would be comfortable with.

I  guess this will be a good challenge for all those who sits in front of computer doing nothing, give back something in exchange, prove yourself worthy of something. I hope I can do what I aim, hope I can get moral support from someone whom I help dearly to my heart, and I want to get one of this:

Well, if you can see clearly, the address of the contest is on the first picture, and if I did complete a story, I'll not publish it here, maybe in a real book, where I can reap my profit more than bloggers do.
