random thoughts bout turning 26...

cant believe it's august already, year almost 3/4 gone

super-duper-crazily-jammed-packed-schedule month (in a way, i wish august be over, soon)

friends who stayed up late, just to send me the past-midnight-birthday sms, just like school days

my first 'real' birthday card travelled across the south china seas, through a messenger

friends who remembered me, as i remember them, this day a year ago, we were still cadets

birthday bento, i packed them myself, but ma cooked them

spending me-time, alone (missed them, need them)

cry is a must for me, an automated stress-release reflex that's in-built

...

sister, who's now enjoying her first ever self-planned, free and easy back-packing trip in the city of angels, krungthep

sisters, who are on their way to get dresses for their prom (all grown up, alright) *wink*

ma and pa, those cheeky smses they sent, hua yu foochow bahasa rojak, funnily sweet

4 more years till i hit the Big 30, a bit scary

no exemption clause in my policy, praise God (i'm quite a frequent traveller to the hospital eh)

...

almost here, gung gung's anniversary (24th august)

i miss him, very much still (crying as i type this)

lost him to cancer last year, while i was away at the police academy

grateful for those shoulders of steel for me to cry on

one year older, one year wiser

live life in Thy ways, I pray

amen


*hint*

still waiting for that special someone to take me out (if he planned lah)
if not, i will still go and have myself some me-time doing what i do best...
retail therapy!
yay!
