Cake and candles

You know how some people refuse to reveal their age, and insist that they are always 21?

I can finally understand why now.

There comes a time in our lives when we feel that we want to put a brake on the bullet train that is Life.
There comes a time when we feel that time, is never enough.
That we want to make the most of our lives, but we are not sure where to start.

Is this what people call a mid-life crisis?

But I'm nowhere near that yet.

For the past few years, my birthday has felt the same as the ones before. Carefree and young, with little to ask for, not much more to hope for.

But today, as I march into my 31st birthday, I feel liberated, and insanely grateful. For the first time in my life, my path is not set, and the possibilities are endless. It is rather unsettling, but also exciting at the same time.

And I have my loving husband and beautiful daughter by my side, embarking on this journey together. Hand- in- hand.

And my family and friends who have tirelessly supported me all these years.

What more can I ask for? =)

Happily ever after

it's been a long hiatus...

you know how people always say that time flies when you are having fun?
it's so true..

the past month has just flown by like fine grains of sand rushing through between our fingers. So poignant but so impossible to hold still in the face of time..

The start of April marked the day when one of my best friends got married. It was, truthfully, the wedding of the century.
Beautiful roses adorning the canopy that rested so idly on the pristine beaches of Langkawi
Tears of joy and wonderment as we witness the perfect union of two people brought together by true love

As I watch my beautiful friend walk down the sandy aisle, my heart was bursting with poignant nostalgia of the times we shared in Melbourne, and my eyes were brimming with tears of joy and blessing. The concoction of feelings that one feels when a dearest friend so kind and true, ends up with someone who truly accepts her and appreciates her for who she is, is, simply, indescribable....

Congratulations my dearest, dearest friend.....
