looking back..

I spent most of last weekend cleaning up my sister’s bedroom, which used to be our bedroom growing up and lately more of a guest room with her being away. We decided to renovate the room ( and some other parts of the house too) before the wedding. Mainly because both the bedrooms upstairs, sisters and bros share a bathroom. Not so convenient when bro gets married and SIL moves in.. the renovation work have started and the whole house is so dusty. It’s gonna take at least another 3 weeks to complete, my guess is more. they always take longer than they promise. means I might have less than 5 weeks to clean and organize the hse before the wedding. am in KL most weekdays these days, and weekends will be helping dad distribute invitation cards and other wedding stuff to sort (and hopefully not neglecting my social life totally).. thank God my sister's coming back. I’m totally relying on her for a lot of this.

the bed in my sister's room used to be mine, along with all the junk in the side table drawers..:P while digging thru them in the hope of clearing, I came across a lot of things I forgot I had. Some old photos, cards, gifts, old movies but mostly nonsense. It was nice. especially the old photos, mostly taken before the 'digital' camera era overtook us. Going thru them, I couldn't help smiling, laughing and even tearing at some. they brought back memories, mostly good and some sad.. reminded me of how far i've come in life. people who've made the difference, some of whom I managed to conveniently forget along the way, never kept in touch (hoping i did).. but thats always the case isn't it? I should scan some and put em up on FB.. will be a good laugh.. I can’t believe how I looked. So innocent in some (yeah right!), clumsy, but i was especially taken with how young i looked in some of it. Damn, how old I now feel!! I’m 30 next year. Just writing it scares the hell out of me! It’s the BIG ‘3’-‘0’ I used to tease NB so much about. and it's almost my turn now. (okie, you can stop laughing now NB) coming to think of it, not sure if I’ve achieved everything I wanted to by then (perhaps not) but if u ask if I’m content with what I’ve become and have, that’s a definite Yes. could I have done better? maybe, but I don’t believe in regrets all that much. then again, my bday is not till December, means I still have almost 1.5 years to get there. what am I doing thinking about that now? Shall cross the bridge when the time comes!
