This morning while I was signing in at the attendance book, a colleague said good morning and all. He (let's call him 'A) was with a new staff (named B).
It went something like this:

A: Morning kak!
Me: Morning..
A: Lama tak nampak, with me on leave, then you being on leave..
Me: Yeah lah. Hehe.. I was at home saja, tak pergi mana-mana pun
B: Nevermind la.. if ada anak-anak at home sure tak boring (probably trying to be friendly? :P)
Me: I takde anak-anak
B: Oh.. nevermind, husband ada got company at home right
Me: (finally looking at her face) I'm not married
B: Oh.. (LOLs.. she probably thought she stuffed her foot into her mouth eh muahahah!) Well, I always thought if there are children around it wouldn't be so boring. Would be much happier
Me: Really? I don't feel that way. Why must wait to have husband and kids then only be happy or not feel bored?

Whahahahaha..
Can't recall what else happened, but whatever lah kan.

I don't understand some people.

Why on earth would they imagine I would be happier if I'm married or if I have kids by now? Does it mean I'm not happy as I am? I would only be happy if 'I have certain things' or 'I do this and that' ? What nonsense!

Maybe they do have only good intentions.
But please, I don't need other people to judge my life, much less my happiness, based on their standards.

Being happy, or living a wonderful life does not necessarily mean one needs to fulfill specific conditions. For some people maybe having family and kids makes them happy, others are simply content being surrounded by love. For some others, perhaps it's having a good home and a good job. And for some others, it could be delicious food on the dinner table night after night. :)

It depends on individuals. Things that make you happy doesn't necessarily be as important to me.

Only 20-odd days only left in year 2008.
One friend asked himself: 'What have I achieved this year?'

Good question that one :)
