27 Dresses



















The other day 10 of us watched 27 Dresses good fun show and i really enjoyed the witty, sarcastic and hilarious lines, and the banter between the main characters. Of course, my friends ventured into the topic of marriage. In fact, of late the topic has come up quite a number of times when I’m with different people, mainly females. Some say they wanna get married by 25, one was determined to make it by 26, and most say MUST get married before they hit 30.

So, the other day for fun my roommate and I went through the class list to see who’s attached. Out of 30, 17 are attached, and 5 of those are engaged, with plans to either get married this year or within the next 2years.
Whoa.

Outta 30, 5 engaged.

Quite a lot lor.

As of now, current point in my life, i have zero desire to even think about the idea of getting married. I don't have any hopes or dreams, or any particular longing to start a family. Am i weird? Maybe.
Sure when i watch romance movies the cuddly, rosy ideas float through my head, but then it passes. I think i know what i want and since i know its not possible or likely in the near future, why be unrealistic.

BUT i'm super duper excited for others to get married, kekeke...
Perhaps in 'that' way i can relate to the Jane in the movie. Happy when others are happy.(?)

Recently another two friends of mine got together, and they're the kind of people you hope will pair up, you know will pair up and really enjoy seeing them paired up. I believe they can go all the way.

I jokingly told some PKA friends that since there are about 30 of us graduating this year, if 2 get married each year, we'll be able to meet up twice a year for the next 15 years!

Quite cool eh?!

We're predicting who will be the first of the attached to send out the pink envelope.

=p


*Best thing i liked about the movie was that they got married a year later.*

Betul punya... Ustad sekolah saya pun cakap, mesti kahwin sebelum 30.

Kalau tidak, nanti you sudah pencen, anak pun belum habis belajar, macam mana?

30 itu "date due"...

Jess: Yups. Tis true. When i found out i was stunned. I have no clue what my path is, but i hope its not boring. Thankfully, i see many strong women who aren't bound by the 30 year-sell-by-date and know that its totally all right.

JL: Haha, yeah- but i had promised to watch it with a friend, so was waiting for her to be free..
It seems like ages not seeing ME because you saw the others last month during Easter.

Hasten: Yeah yeah yeah... Siapa kata aku nak ada anak?
;p

Plum : Hurmph. If i'm weird then you better be sending me a pink envelope soon.
