昨天和妈妈通电话时聊起旧同学：

"妈，妳记不记得我有个中学同学寿勇?"

"嗄，好像听过他的名字。。。 " 其实早忘了。

"那你记得我小学同学悦盈不？"

"哦，记得，某某人的孙女对吧？"

"不是啦，那是奕云。"

"啊？不是啊。。。寿勇有听说过啦。人家结婚了？"

"。。。（哇，妈料事如神。）嗯。寿勇和悦盈结婚啦，刚生了个宝宝。 "

"你看，你同学都结婚了吧？"

"什么“都”，就几个。。。"

"几个？"

"两、三个。"

"两、三个？（很怀疑的语气。）你也差不多啦。。。"

"。。。嗯。我明天就结。"

"明天？随便街上拉一个啊？"

"对啊。"

"你就天天吊儿郎当。。。"

"嘻嘻，跟爸说我说不用到街上，我现在家里就能拉一个，吓一吓他。"（我爸一直不太放心我家里有个男室友。）

"在学校好好注意，差不多啦。。。这很正常，没什么好害羞的。。。" 装没听见。

"没有害羞啊。。。 我天天都在找，如火如荼地找。我说妳跟爸说我说不用到街上，我现在家里就能拉一个，吓一吓他。"

"啊？也要找个合适的。随便结也不行。。。" 开始担心。

"。。。。。嗯。知道啦，明天不结了啦。"

"。。。吃过饭了没有? 。。。"

从小跟妈妈说话就这么有一搭没一搭的。现在家里只剩他们俩老，心里总有点歉意。 因为还有点良心所以没说出带男朋友的男朋友见他们这种话来逗妈妈，不然她会很困惑。 其实每次她说我年纪不小的时候我只会想起他们年纪也大了。这么多事怕来不及干，结婚还确实排不上。再说，前几天才为了动物园高兴了半天，怎么能是结婚的料子。

[12:51:05 AM]: I just realized I'm the kind that likes to keep old letters. [12:52:17 AM]: the sentiment of writing a letter, doesn't matter what kind, it takes effort.. [12:53:44 AM]: there is something incredibly moving about someone willing to go through all those trouble to tell you something, trivial or profound, especially when you re-read it years later and realize that the sentiment no longer exist. I was digging through store room boxes looking for some old course notes from undergrad. I accidentally discover some old letters and read through them. When I went on skype I said this. I wasn't sure if felt precious because 1) no body writes real letters anymore, 2)it marked a completely different time point in our lives where the sender find the need and the right to share whatever it was, with me, or 3)the realization that I actually got to hold on to something that I lost. Probably all of the above, depending on who you are. I wonder if anyone out there kept the let...

Sometimes all you need is one bad news to spoil your day. Today, unfortunately is one of those days. I found out early in the afternoon that it takes 3-5 months to get my passport renewed here. 3-5 months. I don't know who decided that was acceptable, whoever it was must have not lived in a foreign country, because it is ridiculous. The embassy told me they have to send it back to M'sia for processing. Well, I thought that's what a foreign embassy is for, so you can do things like that when you are away? Doesn't it only takes 3 days back home? What kind of mail service are they using? Pigeons? Whatever genius reasons they have, I really don't care. I mean, how could they not see that 3-5 months is a stupidly long time to be in a foreign country without a passport? Other than the fact that you are stuck the moment you mail your passport out for as long as it takes, you don't have that one piece of ID you need in almost any government related issue. Fancy MyKad do...

The time has come... I keep seeing wedding/engagement pictures/announcement popping up on facebook. I'm sure very soon I'll see baby pics popping up like spring bamboo shoots after the rain (I think that is the literal translation). If you are one of those who ask, "How about you?" Then you can be friends with my mom. If you are nodding your head and thinking that kind of reality check is kinda scary/crazy but you will shrug it off anyways, we can be friends. If you think I'm conflicted/bitter because of what I hinted at in the last post.. then I say thank you for paying way too much attention, but my head hurt so I might have been delusional. It would be kinda weird though, if I were to return. It would feel like suddenly everyone is 10 years older, with their respective others, career, babies etc. And all I have been doing was learning to live with myself. There is so much catching up to do.
