I might be an idealist. But one can choose what he/she believes in. I happened to be a non-believer of pro-creation.

LOL. I like that. You are very frank. I have a friend who told me, once she gave birth, she will give the baby to her mom for 3 years, then only come and get the baby. Talk about responsibility.

hey, this is interesting!! Getting a baby…
I of course, want to get a baby with the one I love, not in the name of fulfilling my obligation as the family only’s son…hehehe, just wanna see how the baby looks like, and who the baby resemble, maybe a little bit inherited from me, and her.. that would be nice…. and cute..hehe
by the way, up to today, nobody is yet to agree with my idea to have the baby now, and marriage life begins three years later… so, it will eliminate the hassle of being married late..what say you.

Wei don’t simply advertise on my behalf… Anyway, I have no qualms bout children but too bad they don’t like me. Guess my fierce and serious look scared them. My mum used to babysit my niece and she liked my younger sister more than me cos she (my sis) likes to pamper (I’ve no skill in spoiling kids) her. Nowadays, the chinese community fear of giving birth with the tots of giving them the best in world. To me, just give them sufficient need with more love and care instead of inculcating materialism in their mind.
