Milestones

My milestones as an earthling, or rather, whatever "milestones" i've reached recently...
1. I had one of my wisdom teeth extracted last weekend - the short operation was kinda traumatic. I could feel the force but not the pain till the L.A wore off hours later. That tooth of mine was deeply buried within my gums so it took my dentist a whole load of force indeed to take it out in one whole piece, intact. It must have been foolishness all my life lamenting over the lack of wisdom teeth (when i didn't have any) - which i came to perceive as a mark of true adulthood, haha, whole load of crap? It's been all week of pain and swelling of my right cheek - the pain's so excruciating at times that i wish i hadn't gone for the operation. It's also been all week of "baby food and diet" and not being able to speak as much as i want to. All i hope for is to be pain-free, ulcer-free, swelling-free soooooon, so i can also start chewing food again. Oh how i miss the act of chewing!...doesn't really matter if i'm a true-blue adult or not if i could turn back the clock..

2. I'm gonna be an auntie sooooon - my bb nephew's due to arrive within the next few days. He may arrive on my birthday after all, how cool to celebrate with a bundle of joy.That would be the best birthday present for me :) I've been "talking" to my bb nephew for a long time. It's time for us to meet up, hehe! Guess it's one of the phases in life when I'm not gonna be the youngest at home anymore - bb Zaccaeus would reign as the youngest, as our little prince , ahhhhhh...i can't wait to take on the role of an auntie, to buy him clothes from LifeBaby, to hear his first oo-oo, da-da, etc etc

3. My 5 1/4 month old Snoopy got scratched deliberately by some idiot! Sigh, an ugly 4-5 cm scar remains...not to mention some little dents when people don't care how they open their car doors. Yeah, this "milestone" as a first-time owner of a new-ish car seeing her preciousssss little car get injured...

4. My folks have met his folks twice already - not that it's the major major sort of meeting to discuss about our future but yeah, they have met. And that's sort-of a big thing in its own league eh?...meaning we can't play around, can we?

5. There's someone mashing up my food, taking care of me, showering me with all the TLC and putting up with my groaning in pain last weekend -unconditionally - and he's not my dad. Dadda no longer needs to be the one going to the dentist with me and being the sole carer of me. That shows i'm all grown-up adult eh - having the special and significant other to share all woes and joys with. That someone who's also doing and being what comes with being an adult. i guess?

6. People do take what i contribute at work seriously. I'm no longer a young rookie speechie who can be corrected or held with disregard. It's scary at times, reflecting on what i've done / said, how seriously people do regard me and what i hafta say. It is scary man.

Sigh, these also show that i'm "no longer all young and ignorant" - good or bad i wonder?
