getting hitched at 40

well, there's a rule set by the MAN in this family for the girls - getting married only at 40 yrs of age.

well, for simple reason that the new generation's mentality has altered so much that there's no more security in a marriage for the new generation y/z.

obviously, joy abhored the idea.

claire is too young to even comment about it.

so, while we were watching 'ah di' local drama at 9 pm last nite, i chanced upon the 'jin zhi' character in the show, who's a 40 plus spinster, and is often on the lookout for eligible bachelor, but to no avail.

and the MAN has to remind joy about the situation that she will land herself in, given another 23 yrs. she was so dejected.

then, i imagine joy in that 40 yr old category, and couldnt help but felt sorry for her....a beautiful young nothing with potential suitors to be thrown into a harrowing experience of being on the lookout for man to get hitched.

aye, indeed for women, age is a limiting factor. youth is always wondrous and magical. aging is a process that needs accompaniment...so, marriage is great if u hv someone to age gracefully with you.
