Tai-tai?

We were classmates from Standard One to Four.
When i moved away we kept in touch with letters (snail-mail you know? envelopes and stamps...) ... then emails... then the once yearly phonecall during CNY...
Over the years we went on to do different things... i finished poly in SG, worked, came over to AU to study more...... she finished school, started work... we both went thru the usual relationship headaches and heartaches......
As the years past, we kinda just lost touch....
Recently we started chatting more oft on MSN.
Reason being, she's not working... not studying... she's not doing ANYTHING actually! She's in Canada... with the bf...
Her days are basically spent lounging rd home waiting for him to return frm work... how tai-tai-ish eh?
I normally chat with her in the mornings... that's when her bf is not bck frm work yet...
The other day i asked what she does there... "make breakfast for him" she said...
Wow...
That's it??? Easy life eh...
She commented i'm too independent... she once said after i told her my plans to study as much as possible, and that i didn't neccessarily need to be in a relationship NOW to be happy, that i was scary... that i was so independent and too unlike her... too ambitious... that i was scary...
It just got me thinking....lots....
Is that what people think when they see me now? That at 26 i'm back in Uni doing this Masters... not seeing anyone... when i should be holding a stable job... happily attached... making plans to get married.... blah blah blah............. so since im not doing that im somehow not following the norm...? its not right?
I admit i cant see myself settling down anytime soon... there's so much more to do! im not done studying... not done trvlling... not done spending time wiv Claire and Louis! i hvnt yet decided on what i wana work as or where to work in... heck i hvnt even decided if i wana stay or go!
As much as i admire and even envy some friends who are happily attached or settling down, i dun see myself being happy wiv that... contradicting eh? yea im a Gemini... im full of contradictions.....
Sheesh.... im really not making sense am i? Too much on my mind... She just got me thinking wiv her comments....
Im not born for a life of a tai-tai... haha! yea... that's the only conclusion i cn come up wiv now.... i wana study and make my own money.... much more exciting no?
