the questions with no end

malaysians are generally known for their compassion and care towards one another. and this is a trait that we can all be proud of..

but, what most of malaysians have got to learn is the boundary between being compassionate / caring and 'kepochis'..

this entry is actually written as a feedback from Ms. Reny's entry.. hehe.. but, it has nothing to do with her personally. (note to Reny, i dont have issues against u.. hehehe.. no worries)

she's a newlywed.. so, being one, she is frequently asked by her friends / relatives THE QUESTION that some other newlyweds are being asked.. "so, bila nak dapat baby..?"
am i correct, or am i correct..? hehehehe..

i went thru the same experience before.. it's like, as we go on another stage of our lives, we are bound to be thrown questions that we dont actually have the control with the answers.. few scenarios:

1) when we finished high school, we'll be asked: "so, sambung belajar kat mana lepas ni? course apa nak amik?"
2) when we complete our diploma/degrees: "hmm, bila nak start keja? nak cari keja yang camana? dengan company apa?"
3) when we start to have real relationships: "bila nak tunang?"
4) when we have 'established' the 'being engaged' status: "bila nak kawin? tak elok tunang lama2"
5) when we are newlyweds: "so, bila nak dapat baby...?"
6) when we have a child or 2 children: "takkan sorang / 2 orang je... taknak tambah lagi ke...?"

the point here, when is it gonna end?
will it go on until we're old(er)?
or, when we're old(er), they will come up with different kind of questions...
maybe something like, "dah ada cucu ke blom..?"

*sigh*
