Timeline
I went with Mr. Gecko and his gang to the Eski Bar for a round of drinks yesterday. It was suppossed to be a raucous guys' night-out only but I tagged along becase no one told me so and I was already out with Mr. Gecko to dine and shop like any typical Friday night. So, all the other missus of the guys were missing, only me.
Eski Bar is really cramped with narrow walkways. It is not as antartically cold as some pubs reviews claimed to be. Still, if you are dressed in your summer wear like me, you can be chilled to the bones. I was saved by the nice waiter who gallantly stripped off his Heineken jacket for me, warmed gradually by the rounds of drinks and heated up by the intense rounds of guys' banter and the usual discourse on BGR. (Read: Boy-Girl Relationship)
The subject on BGR rested mainly on one of the guys who is engaged to his girlfriend of 4 years. While the girl felt it was the right time for her to settle down, the guy on the other hand, felt he would like to have a little bit more time to stabilise his career so as to cover the cost of marriage more adequately. Not that the girl is not chipping in, it's just that marriage is really an expensive affair in Singapore. So the couple contributed much of their monthly income and even their bonuses for their marriage plans: Wedding dinner, wedding package, car, flat and home renovations. And the guy seemed pretty much resigned to his fate like there is no escape. I asked if he was not happy with the whole arrangement, he answered the wedding taking place late next year is too far away for him to grasp in reality now. To me, marriage sounds like just another route one must trod, another phase in a boy-girl relationship. But just for clarification, the guy is sure she's the one.
One of the guys then jokingly suggested if I am dying to marry Mr. Gecko and he is not taking any action, I should use the pretext of buying a flat to ensnare my prey. I know my answer well. NO MATTER WHAT, Mr. Gecko must propose. This is the only way for me to know Mr. Gecko wants to spend the rest of his life together with me. No marriage obligations for me though I do not wish to be a wrinkled bride. Come on, it's the only day I can play princess.
Recently I was disturbed inwardly having seen and heard a slew of broken relationships - all marathon relationships like mine. While I am still eager to seal my destiny as Mrs. Gecko, these recent break-ups had me rethinking if fulfilling life's timeline at the appropriate moments is preeminent. Maybe there is really a right time to do the right thing but I guess having the right feel is as important and will make a whole difference to do the right thing at the right timing? Enlighten me...
