月はレモン

Had a “Soba So GOOD” evening with dear Le~Petite X-men today. Really glad we made time out of our hellish schedules to meet-up, catch-up. We talked about so many things – our lives, our dreams, our men, our views. It really feels good to have an enjoyable in-depth conversation. Haha. I agree with u Le~petite, frequency is important!!!

After such an intellectually stimulating evening, my thoughts continued to wander, even when I got on the cab. Suddenly, I caught sight of the moon. I’ve never seen it like it is tonight. Its really alike to a slice of lemon, a wedge of it. I’m not trying to be philosophical, but my first thought was, “Wow, nothing is really as it seems huh?” I muse at how transient life is. How volatile, uncertain.

Inevitably, my life in the past two years click-clacked across my mind.
I pretty much could sum-up my life with shoes.

How pathetic haha. But how funny. (okay okay.. at least i AM amused)

My Uni days, memorably those times I did on the L’oreal project with Le-Petite, my days cramming for exam, the walk to lectures, lunches with pals, 7pm dramas at hostel TV lounges. Flip-flops, Adidas running shoes.

I moved on to a working life. I became a career woman. Days in my first job, the people etc. I would describe it as a comfortable environment. Everyone felt like family. Its so comfortable, things felt stagnant. Definitely Bedroom Slippers. So comfortable.

I uprooted not long after. Being the ambitious person, I thirsted for more.
The new place seemed very grown up. Suddenly I felt transported to a different dimension. Over here, its suddenly so atas, so upmarket. Kopi-O became Café Latte. Even normal 70 cents coffee has to be accompanied with foamed fresh milk. Lol. Colleagues compared foamer models. I thought, “my gawd.. this is too much!” Kate Spade, LuLu Guinness, Paul & Joe, its so… Devil wears Prada-ish.

I can’t help but am amused with how much has changed, in the span of just less then 2 years.
I wonder how my friends changed. Those I have not caught up with.

Who knows, my life might change again. And its still less then 2 years!!!
This time, I would like … I dunno.. Aldo?
