Seven Years In Never-Never Land

4 August 2000 was 7 long years ago.

But every little detail of that day remains vivid in my mind.

This date means a lot to me for various reasons - in particular, it was the day where two main aspects of my life officially took on a life of their own.

It was also the day where one innocent little prediction was made and subsequently forgotten, only to come true now.

Some days, I feel just like a jaded old granny who's lugging around bags and bags of life lessons and stories. And yet, occasionally, it seems to me that I am still that same relatively-carefree-19-going-on-20 girl all those 7 years ago.

Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala...
