Investment!

Over the past week, we discussed about a pastor who has resigned recently, etc.  My mom has the opinion that he has married a wrong women as wife. I disagree at first, but.... I am having a second though.  People , a lot of people get married because they want to 'rely' on their spouse for some 'benefit'.  Either in monetary terms or not.  In a way, a man is in need of a women and a women in need of a man just to satisfied the imperfection of a human being (well, at least to minimise the imperfection?).
Many people think the best 'investment' on a human being is to hooked up with someone who can give you the best benefit he/she can provides.  A women in particular will give everything they can to be in a relationship or married someone who can give them better life.  Man somehow, 'invested' in women who can give them family and children. But how many know none of these 'investment' will last forever.
Majority of people think it is better to sacrifices their friends and family for the one man or one women they think that's worth.  Most of them even sacrifice their works, their education, their mindset, their abilities for this one man and one women too.  Some even sacrifice their God.
I am asking now, if those so called 'investment' worth.  I just happen to be a bloody lawyer who do quite a bit of divorce matters. I usually do not ask them why are they getting a divorce.  Most of the time, they are the one who just tell me non-stop why are they getting a divorce and 9/10 of them will tell me I made a good choice to stay single.
I started to wander if this is the reason why Roman Catholic priest are not allowed to get married.  It's an issue of a division of focus and commitments towards God i believe.  Somehow, I agree that if we are to put all ourselves into just one man and one women, this investment is seriously not a wise investment.  If you lose a grounds of friends because of one man or one women, i think you are stupid.
Oh well, it's just my choice of investment.  You might not be agreeable with me. That's ok.  All i wish is that everyone made a wise and right investment in life.  And staying with God is definitely not something you wanna give up or sacrifice for.

What I didn't know....

I woke up quite early this morning and after packing and all, I went in to office to sort out some works since I wasn't at office yesterday afternoon.  Hunger strikes me badly this morning.... and so, instead of driving out, I went to E-west café lounge which is just nearby.  Sat down, ordered and start reading what I need to.  When my meal came, I quickly start eating... then suddenly, three woman came in and when I look up, I saw them pointing at me and one shouted, "Hey, Pei San.... how are you?", then the other one tell another one that I am a former student of St.Patrick, etc.  Then I realised, out of 3, 2 of them who knew me, one was my teacher (and my parents' friend whom I also very close with since baby.... and definitely close to her 2 daughters), another one whom also my parents' friend whom I know and attending CCL and the other one, I do not know at all.  I was told she used to teach in St.Patrick school way before I attended secondary school.  So, they are having their gathering. 
While I was finishing my meal, another one walked in.  I didn't know all these teachers can remember seriously..... but from a far when she saw me, she called out my name.  I got a shock.  Oh well, I guess there after, the closest to our family's teacher told them my parents' condition and all as suddenly, I realised them looked at my direction for a few seconds. hahahaha...  I guess they must be thinking why am i eating alone. hahahahahahaha.... 
Oh well, ... I am never a 'famous' student to anyone.  I do not think i am outstanding in any area of my life.  Worse still, I never excel in my studies and I can be so 'famous' in my -10 marks math exam and accounting. hahahahahahahahahah....  I am not like my brother whom he can expect every teachers know who he is because he is really good in academic, in sports, in arts, in everything he did.
But what i didn't know is that.... after so many years, teachers still remember my name? Oh wow....  I better be good. hahahahaha....
