I’ve barely been home for two weeks and my family has been stressing me out non-stop. I had barely stepped off the plane at KLIA for 2 hours, when the inquisition started. Even my sister is getting in on it. In fact, she’s applying more pressure on me than my parents. I am getting more than a little annoyed at this now. If it does not stop soon, I will have to make it stop.
I do not understand why they need to apply so much verbal pressure. Thankfully, it’s still only verbal pressure and they have not yet resorted to arranging any sort of physical pressure (although they have already suggested it to me several times). I know that all my elder cousins are already married with kids, and even a couple of my younger cousins are too. But still.
Some of the suggestions that they have been throwing around, border on the ludicrous and crazy. I wouldn’t even want to go into the details here as they are definitely out of my realm of possibility, and probably out of this world. I don’t think that I will ever become desperate enough to even try some of the things that have been suggested.
I have told them several times, by now, that I am not ready for anyone. All I have inside me is pain, bitterness and anger. So, I need to resolve all these issues, personally, before I can even begin to fathom asking anyone out. Otherwise, I really pity the person whom will be the target of all the pent up negative emotions. Now is definitely not a good time for me but they seem to be ignoring me.
Today, I have been feeling slightly hypoglycemic again. I spent most of the afternoon in bed and even all the nice siew pau from Seremban could not keep me filled. Hopefully, this is just for today. Otherwise, I will have to tell my whole family to just shut their traps and leave me alone. Personally, I would not wish this on anyone.
This is worse than PhD stress!!
PS: As you can probably read from this blog, I am not particularly happy with this situation.
Sybreon Ones Nought 
Practice makes perfect š especially in preparation before/for the right one to come along? Soothes the bitterness, pain and anger too.
Pity the guinea pig though…
Haha…at least you won’t be so stressed. You coming back for viva and graduation?
Aiya.. My stress is due to external forces.. Yes, I’ll be back for viva/graduation at some point..
Aiyoh! š¦ Though as my cousin said, it never stops. He’s the father of twins and before he got married they nagged him about getting married; when he got married, they nagged him about having children; now he’s got children, they nag him about having more …. So it doesn’t get any better! Er, dunno if that’s comforting lah.
Hey man, just tell them there’s no (biological or other) reason for men to get stressed about this at any age. At worst, if you marry too late, you’ll be too old to get a second wife afterwards. That’s no such a loss I’d say š
