It's time..??

For 3 days in a row, 3 different people told/advised me to 'find someone and settle down'..

Day 1 -
Wil: Haven't you thought about settling down?
ZXL(choking on my barley drink): With??
Wil: Doesn't necessarily mean you have to get married..just someone who can be your companion, or even just a friend..
ZXL: I'll think about it..

Day 2 -
Mom(not mine): ..Told you to get a rich turtle..
ZXL: Waiting..still waiting..
Mom: Dun wait, go out and look!
ZXL: You should go work for SDU..
Mom: I have friends who got married under SDU and even have a plaque to show for it!
ZXL:.......

Day 3 -
'Alan': So when is it your turn to settle down?
ZXL(giving standard reply by now): With??
'Alan': You can plan first..who knows, u may just find someone very soon..
ZXL: Aiyo..these kind of things hard to say lah..
'Alan': Don't worry, i'll keep a lookout for you..come out with us more often ok?
ZXL: Err..ok lor, thanks ah

Maybe this is the stress that singles in their 30s go thru? The famous stress that i've been reading so much about in the papers(oh maybe no more liao..since Ms ST got married to her high school beau in a sort-of fairytale wedding)

Anyway, i'm not so much feeling stressed..but more amused..how 3 very different people..coincidentally over 3 consecutive days spoke to me about the very same topic..

I guess i have arrived..to that age..
