Posting on a blog has become quite a challenge for me. I have written less than five posts this year. And when blogging was all a rage, I remember having almost 5 posts in a week, on different blogs.
December is my favourite month. It's my birthday month and it's Christmas. Today, 15 December is my friend's Dr David L's birthday. And I've known David since 1999. That's 16 years. This month, I had a reunion with my NIE buddies, Michell and Tammy, whom I have not reconnected since our graduation in 1995. It's amazing to get in touch after 20 years.
Tonight, I'll be meeting Wen Tin, my old pal from MGS to celebrate our December birthdays. Hers is on the 13th and mine five days after. 15th is always a good day for our combined celebration. :) I have known Wen Tin since 1987. That's a good 28 years to date.
On the actual date of my birthday, I will be spending it having lunch with mum and dinner with sis. They have both known me all my life. And mum has of course been God's instrument in giving me life, together with dad. Sis has grown up with me till I was 10, then left for the US for about five years and returned when I was 15. We've been living in Bishan together for the past ten years, sharing the flat with our chihuahua Happy who passed away two years ago. Only recently, this year, 2015, mum and dad moved back to live with us because of dad's ill health.
This has been a rather tumultuous year because of dad's ill health.
However, there have been happy moments and a new friendship that has developed unexpectedly since April with a young American pilot has brought me much joy. Just hope that this new friendship would not be too short-lived. :)
