Life here.

Filed under Uncategorized

June is creeping up on us, finally, and here we are, hitting mid-year in 2009. Here goes the cliche: how fast time flies. Eric and I are almost 8 months old, hah.

It's sometimes hard to remember that prior to signing the marriage papers, Eric and I had been dating for almost four years. It was three years after his asking me to embark on possibilities that he popped the question, and the one year of squabbling and scratching our ways to the altar, swept past us in a minute.

It's even harder to recall the me before meeting Eric, the times when I was energetic enough to hit the clubs, and hang out at mamak stalls after 3 am in the morning. So much harder for me to remember the years at varsity, juggling a serious relationship with a boy whom I no longer keep in touch with, and attending courses with coursemates, who were previously so close to me, but I am no longer close with. Back then it seemed impossible that we would go our separate ways, but well, life, here, it quickly proves to you that impossible is merely something that hasn't happened yet.

Many, many, many, many years ago I believed that it was impossible for me to ever have boobs.

Many, many, many, many years ago I believed that it was impossible for girls to like boys.

I once, told my husband, that I believed I was different from other girls, and very earnestly told him that he would be in for a big disappointment, 'Because I don't think I have a normal hole to do that thing you call sex.'

We still laugh over it these days.

Funny how life catches up on you and proves the impossible can happen.

(I won't be surprised if one day I looked up into the sky and saw a pig flying across the horizon.)

Reality. It hits you hard.
