  I think it's more about a self-image thing now.

  #1. When are you getting a bf/gf?
  
  i killed Cupid... you wanna be next?
  
  #2. When are you getting married?
  
  after seeing you people, i'm smart enough not to make the mistakes you made
  
  #3. When are you having a baby?
  
  i had a few already.. just that you don't know it.. and i don't want them to associate with you
  
  #4. When are you having your 2nd child?
  
  when you die.. so the child will not have to live through the trauma of seeing you
  
  #5. When are you going to....(fill in the blanks)
  
  (usual terrible insults.. )
  
  i never needed # 3 to 5.. #1 and #2 are real life answers

  wear something ethnic. usually ethnic clothes fit er fullbodied ladies better.. cos .. traditional women usu. more bar bar lah.
  
  I just go the other way when asked questions like this.. i agree with them wholeheartedly until they pai say..
  
  like.. #dont have boyfriend ah?
  Ans: yaloryalor.. exbf dumped me.. fat lor... nobody wants me... sigh.. dont talk abt it liao.. i need a drink -walk away sadly-
  
  #when getting married?
  And: hmm.. donno la.. everything so much in flux.. no money... no career... no... sigh... dont talk abt it liao.. i need a drink.. -walk away sadly-
  
  #when going on a diet?
  Ans: Hmm.. cannot leh.. like to eat leh.. dunno how.. too bad la.. sigh.. dont talk abt it liao... where did u get this curry puff from?? -walk away sadly-

  I believe in the one-fits-all, existential zen answers
  
  #1. When are you getting a bf/gf?
  #2. When are you getting married?
  #3. When are you having a baby?
  #4. When are you having your 2nd child?
  #5. When are you going to....(fill in the blanks)
  
  Answer 1
  
  Pretend to think deeply for a few moments, frown abit... do the "tsk tsk" sound like you're working out a problem.
  Then answer very gravely "ONLY TIME WILL TELL"
  
  Answer 2
  
  Smile benignly and proclaim "I LEAVE IT TO ......"
  
  1. God (or whichever religion or diety you're into)
  2. nature
  
  I like these cos they're vague (are you or are you not exactly?? ) and non-commital. And absolves you of all blame. You can't argue with nature can you.

  "TELL..... ONLY TIME WILL!"
  
  Hey or if more 'chinese' type.. can do the thing with the finger like those Toaist priests... and say "Mmmm... time is not ripe yet... alignment of sun and stars and moon not in sync..."

  Yeah he skipped English Grammar 101 in Jedi University.
  But weird English always make people sound extra-wise.

  fortune cookies=wise words but the truth is to make you come back and eat more of their cookies= more $$$
  
  wise men poverbs= really truthful words..make you think lots about it...but also makes you super miserable at the end of the day
