20 years ago : 1985 (I was 12)
Sheesh, thanks to Nadya, now I feel old. I was in Primary 6 in Thomson Primary School in Singapore. I had a year long rift with my classmate who sat next to me. Memang dosa tak tegur nih sampai satu tahun. But at the end of the year, I mintak maaf and we were friends again.
10 years ago : 1995 (I was 22)
Haha, now I feel young! I married when I was 18 (first marriage, stupid and senile me!) and at 22, I gave birth to my second baby, Masturah. 7.9 lbs, 51 cm. Tembam sekali, and she never stopped growing! I was still working for Prudential Singapore, had to be a part-timer after Mas was born, no regrets.
5 years ago : 2000 (I was 27)
Gosh, kena pulak marking nih ngam ngam time my life history. Nasty divorce (meleret for 13 mths)! I just moved to another apartment, with the kids, very close to my sister and parents. I got to know David in June 2000, we were friends, hated him! Hehehe.
3 years ago : 2002 (I was 29)
I just moved to San Francisco, by myself without the kids in 2001. So in August 2002, the kids came to stay for good! My sadness were cured instanly! My babies!
This year : 2005 (I am 32 turning 33 this October, waaaah!)
Our 4th wedding anniversary on the 23rd! Time flies when we’re having fun!
Still working for the same company. My career made a turnaround for the better this year.
Next year : 2006 (I will be …must I say it? OK OK, 33 going on 34)
To own a house. San Francisco is the most expensive area in America to own a house. If we can’t afford to buy an $800k house with a $4,000 monthly mortgage, then we would rent a bigger house. Maybe have a baby on the way.
10 years from now : 2015 (I will be 43 going on 44, InsyaAllah)
Too far to think about it. But I should still be happily married with my beloved husband, if we had a kid, then the kid should be 9 years old. Abdul Mathein would be 24 and Masturah, 22. They better have graduated and have good jobs!
I am tagging OOD cos she hasn't done it yet!
