me and dear was talking on the phone and we stumbled upon a topic. a topic of the future. OUR future.
he had all the plans laid out in mind... all i could do was listen. rarely did i gave any constructive suggestions or add-ons to the discussion. thats cos he always plans ahead while me, had little thoughts about the whole thing. one can make a better decision through experience, i guess. through the years, the minds gets more settled.
well, flashing back about this whole future thingy, kinda make me sit up straight and think. wat future lies ahead of me? to wat extend must i slog, scrimp and save up now to secure a comfortable life? wat are my targets and how long must i achieve them? am i prepared to face and overcome the challenges that lies ahead? all these questions running through this brain of mine.
sometimes i feel guilty cos dear is making more sacrifices for US then i am. financial wise, he is giving up alot for himself and investing so much on me and our future. so much so that he is willing to save more than half of his pay while me, nowhere close to that. on my part, it made me look as though im just waiting for miracles to happen. but reality check, i need to take this issue into serious consideration. i cant and wun allow my dear to bear the load alone. i need to step in. somewhere, somehow.
i had plans of my own too, to have my own target within a certain amt of yrs. by 2010, i would hope to take up an advance diploma or a nursing degree preferably as a full time course. by then, i would be more settled to think abt other major life commitments eg: marriage etc. that is another issue that i need to plan out for. not now that is, but to ensure that i will be stable financially and emotionally by then. having to rely on others or my parents is totally out of the question. i have only myself to depend on for building my own future. life is what you make of it.
as the saying goes, "time and tide waits for no man."
hmmmmm...............
