You're Going to Drop Over and Sleep
I got tagged by Caza. Here goes all my nothing much to talk about 28 years of life + 10 more years to come!
20 years ago: 1985 (I was 8)
I was in Standard 2. Same school with Miss Caza, SRK (1) Kelana Jaya, in 2 Langsat! Although during that time I hardly saw her in school but we saw each other in the afternoon, after school during ‘mengaji’ classes then it’s rounders (kinda like softball?) time in the padang. Gosh, I remember those days we were playing rounders with the guys. Either that or kunda kundi, galah panjang and lompat getah. It’s very different from now where kids spend time indoor playing video games. My routine was packed outdoor from morning until around 7pm when I returned all sweaty and dirt-smelly. I remembered being very close to my elder brother since we were only 1 year apart. I will always follow him wherever he went. We practically grew up close together. That’s how we ended up playing with the guys, not to mention having the tennis ball slammed on your back when you got “CHOP!”. I wasn’t really smart in school in fact I was never really into studying, I was a slow learner. What I liked most in class was drawing and singing, yes singing was my passion. Can’t wait for assembly when I sang my heart out.
10 years ago: 1995 (I was 18)
After SPM, I didn’t really get to spend my time at home since all the MRSM students got shipped to different English courses. Mine was in IKIP 3 Pahang, near to the beach. I love that place! We would be running along the beaches in the afternoon after attending the English classes in the morning. I was always be the last person hehe.. nevertheless it was fun. Still remembered those wonderful times especially when you get to meet so many new friends (they were around 400 students there) and I loved my classmates, I was in Cambridge class (they named every class with all the universities in UK). My memories never wondered far from the first huge , not-meant-to be crush I had in MRSM but it was during this English course that I learnt what it felt like to like somebody and to have that feeling returned. Too bad it didn’t last long, we both went separate ways after that. When I received my SPM results which was okay, although I could have done better in Add Maths & Physics (oh well, screw ‘em) I was actually quite satisfied. Wanna know why? Because my ambition is to be a lawyer! So I aimed to score for History, English and B. Melayu of which I did well. I remembered filling in the UPU form, making my top 3 choices as Law Matriculation, but had to change them since my parents insisted me to further in Science. I hated going to Science Matriculation. Bluuurgghh boring.
5 years ago: 2000 (I was 23)
At this point of time, I was still trying to find a good job after graduating in 99. The economy was bad, so I couldn’t be too picky on finding a job. The government and private companies shut their doors to employment. Luckily, I landed a job as a contract staff with TM Multimedia (now known as TM Net), and after 7 months of trying to prove myself, I got in as a permanent executive. I was ecstatic at that time because finally after 1.5 year of trying to find a job, Alhamdulillah, my wish was granted. Still I was single and wondering whether I will meet someone special.
3 years ago: 2002 (I was 25)
This would be one of the most memorable year of my life because I was (still am!) deeply in love with my hubby (my boyfriend then), work was okay, have started to get stressed from too much of events & exhibitions. Then one fine night in September, my boyfriend was proposing for us to get engaged. I remembered how uncertain he sounded and how shaky his voice was, but since his parents wanted us to take one step closer to marriage, we got engaged on October 13. Things were going great that year.
This year: 2005 (I am 28)
This year we celebrated our 2nd Anniversary on 6th September and I will be 28 in 2 days to come. I have been through a lot this year and last year. Too many tears and pain from losing babies and feeling like the hope is gone. However, I am blessed because my husband is always there to support me and share the sadness and pain, the emptiness feeling inside. He teaches me a lot on being strong and not losing hope. Hope lies in the heart of those who believes, and as long as he believes, I will keep hanging on to him to be my pillar of strength.
Next year: 2006 (I will be 29)
I plan to conceive again, and we will be moving into our new house in Prima Tropika. I foresee myself in a different company, maybe? And I want to develop myself to be a better wife and master myself in cooking. Probably I would further my Masters.We’ll see how things goes.
10 years from now: 2015 ( I will be 38)
I will be having 4 kids by now most probably aged 9, 7,5 and 3. 2 boys and 2 girls, yep. The family would definitely be a noisy one with the kids running around. I will be starting my own business on handicrafts, gifts, hampers and flower arrangements so I will have more time to spend with my children and yes, my beloved husband. We would probably still be here in Selangor. I will be opening my business from 8am to 6pm only and spend time after that cooking and attending to the kids. We’ll do activities together during the weekends, probably going for movies, bowling or simply spending quiet moments together. Hmmm…too good to be true ….

Yes, Along true, it is not like everyday we take a trip down memory lane kan? It might even bring out forgotten episodes. Read yours, very interesting! I can revert to the roadside vendor , *caket pewot* but theirs is the cheapest, nak beli air tin/kotak duit slalu tak cukup, hehe..
