I don't mind being a house husband Mr. Green

marriage is a big consideration... having a kid is a BIGGER consideration.

I always tell my friends who's under pressure for marriage or having kids. Dont do it because you have to do it. Do it when you are ready for it.

having a child is not easy

sillyme SG

yup.. a change in attitudes must come.. not just men.. but as a society.

shutthehellup SG

hehe...hope everything will go smoothly lor..time passed relli fast when i was in the class...keke...

KittynMeow SG

I think it's more like having a child is relatively easy.... it's helping the child grow up and teaching the child and taking care of it that is most difficult...

sillyme SG

KittynMeow SG

shutthehellup SG

hmm...true ah...hehehe

aiya yesterday during the interview there were 4 interviewers. 3 ladies and 1 man. the 3 ladies started asking me questions first, abt my past working experience in the tuition centre...then they asked if given a choice, would i choose to teach chinese or english medium subjects. i said teaching chinese is not a problem as i am still pretty in touch with conversing in mandarin and reading chinese magazines and papers.

THEN, the man, who was keeping quiet all the while, seated on my diagonal right, started asking me questions in MANDARIN..i was caught off guard man! i looked at his tag....it said 'CHINESE LANG SPECIALIST'....

of cos i answered him in mandarin lor..but shorter la, cos i dunno how to elaborate in mandarin well..heh...

X-men SG

shutthehellup SG

if i want to teach chinese in secondary school, i would have to study a degree majoring in chinese lit... Shocked

Saw this in the papers... was wondering will this be considered together with the recent secondary school boy suicide incident....

"DATE AND MATE

MRS Yu-Foo Yee Shoon, the Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Community Development and Sports, wants young men and women to do community service together for six months after they finish school, and before the men enter national service.

This will help them 'develop long-term relationships which could blossom into marriages', she said in Mandarin."

So does it mean parents and teachers should stop interfering with students developing BGR??

I THINK these politicians should know where to draw the line between policy making... and social-reengineering that is just over-simplistic, foolish and futile. Evil or Very Mad Really it's becoming a joke.

How to come up with a formula for love? Or worse, Love As Deemed Fit by them i.e. healthy, above certain age, out of school, etc.

Politicians should stay outta the bedroom ! Mad
