Sometimes when I tell people how time flies, I don’t neccessarily take notice of it. But recently, after reading a random post by someone from church who is going to turn 21, made me realise that time has really zipped past me, and I didn’t even realise it.
When we first moved to Kulim, she was a wee little kid in primary school. Heck, it’s been almost 10 years since we have been in Kulim so that pretty much sums it up in a nutshell but the shock of realising that she will soon turn 21 is like omg….when did she grow up? How did I miss it??
I don’t have to go that far really. It also didn’t occur to me that I will be hitting the BIG 30 in a few months and it’s like OMG….I can’t believe it!!!! I’m happy that I don’t really feel like an almost 30 year old at all. I still think about partying, and going clubbing and hanging out with friends. In fact, when I was in Kulim recently, some friends from college came to visit me and we lepakked at the mamak stall and it was like we were taken back in a time capsule, back to our college days. We sat there stuffing our faces with all the mamak food because a) I wasn’t going to miss out on a chance to eat that yummylicious mamak fried chicken of which I ordered many pieces b) apparently Penangites who move to KL also miss Northern food tremendously so with such a combo and the company, it was just magnificent! Would give anything to do it again soon. We just sat there and ate, drank teh ais, teh tarik, kopi kau, Nescafe O….you name it, we had it. I even tried Roti Milo and it was DELISH!!! Didn’t bring my cam so no pix - sorry. It was just so good to hang out like that. Thinking back, the patrons of the mamak place must have thought we were insane or simply gluttons, or worst still, insane gluttons!!! We were cackling away talking about mainly taboo stuff like sex and what nots. *lol* Really funny….am laughing while I’m blogging about this too! 
But that’s just it - I don’t feel like I’m getting any older. I feel young inside and I think that’s a good thing. Although I do realise that I have to act my age la. You won’t spot me in any emo goth trends, so don’t you worry about that! I guess the other main thing that made me realise that I am getting older is the fact that I have a baby! Well, she will be considered a toddler in just a few more weeks. 
Arianna is turning 1 in August!!! And these pictures just says it all…
At 8 days old :

And this is now :
It really goes to show that time really flies and that if you blink too much, you really can miss it. So treasure every moment of it.

Time goes faster as we grow older. It doubles up after we have kids.
