reflections
My cousins have returned from visiting aunty penny from the states and so i finally have authentic gummy bears and pistachio nuts. During our regular family get-togethers last night (we do it every sunday night), di and i ransacked their place and started sniffing her clothes. we have this belief that the states have a distinctive smell in their malls (we remember them when we last visited the place eons ago). my aunt stared at us in disbelief but i swear we could smell the air of wal-mart and riverside, CA.
And so today, while i spoke to delaney (my cousin who lives in the states) aunty penny finally got on msn and we had a small chitchat about how our free tickets to visit them is going to expire by the end of the year. MAN. SO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT.
On a different note, I cannot believe my friend is going to be married in a few days time. Soph, if you’re reading this- we can’t wait to come and see you either! We’ll be off to KL for awhile before rushing back in time for my mom’s big fiveoh birthday that her daughters are apparently supposed to be planning.
Which brings me to the point that all of us are getting old and i wonder if it is as bad as it seems. turning twentyfive next year will lead to another major crisis and i wonder how many people that are in my life right now will still be here. What am i going to do with my postgraduate degree, will i continue writing, will i go into teaching, where will i be, what will i become?
Of late, i am enjoying the simple things in life and wish that it didn’t need to end. i am slightly disturbed by the fact that i can actually watch an entire screening of High-Five (with a bunch of cynics) because there was nothing else on telly.
So here i am with too much free time on my hands and so i bother people at work and lament over the fact that others have returned to school and then i sit here wondering- really- how my life will eventually turn out.
Maybe i’ll think about it right after i read 8Days and nap for awhile longer.
