Shebang I do. I can't deny that somehow a part of me is afraid of not having my my own family. But then I always believe that who I am now, where I am now is part of God's plan for me. If it is His will for me to be alone then God's will be done. :)

Shebang Thank you suesan. You're so nice. (^_^). I do hope I can travel one day, if I have enough money. I also don't think of money that way. I don't think it's the root of evil. It is the people that makes money evil. People who worship money and that desire of...

Shebang Yes definitely. The sad part is, when these people became poorer and poorer and not able to sustain their families, they usually blame the government for their situation. They are so hard on taking the reponsibilites in their families.
