Sometimes this girl finds it hard to believe that the weeks have just flown by and its February already. Where did January go?! With their initiation into the last trimester, this girl now sees her OBGYN more frequently and as a result, they get to see baby more often too. Which is always nice; if [...]

The year has ended and Facebook offered a quaint little application that allowed you to collate your status updates for the past year. Which is exactly what This Girl did.

This girl had the chance to catch up with an old secondary school classmate over (protracted) coffee the other day. Junie was one of this girl’s closest friends back then and they used to take the bus home together all the time, and of course, all the little, em, pit stops en route. They fell [...]

An old classmate had one of the most harrowing- and traumatic- pregnancies. Her little girl had organs in the wrong places, liver and lungs had not progressed as per normal and she knew, even in the months and weeks leading up to the birth, she, her little girl, her husband and friends and family were [...]

This girl caught up with some friends visiting from The Other Land. Aunty Am runs the orphanage that this girl has been working with since she’s 16; this was the place that changed her life, and the girl (then two, now 14) that changed this girl’s soul. She gave this girl updates on all the [...]

Bonds are a funny thing- it transcends time, space all of the other good stuff. Kinda like how when we find a new old friend on facebook- its a mildly surreal feeling, in particular when said person is from a life past. This girl saw this on TV the other day, the story of Christian [...]

For what seemed like two years, Zwieback battled Anorexia Nervosa, a debilitating eating disorder that saw her shrink from her oh-so-gorgeous frame to a skeletal whisper of her former healthy self. She entered treatement with Golden Skull leading the new defense-offense with the nebulous many-headed monster. Fast forward- through countless sleepless nights, melt downs and [...]

Smartest Friend is back from the States on summber break and while she’s very much the same, she’s brought a little more Americana back with her; namely her love affair with American football and NBA. It was tres entertaining hearing her and The Boy go back and forth over dinner about NBA throwing names, stats [...]

One supposes that this girl is at the age where her friends are mostly getting engaged, married or having kids. The engagements and weddings are mainly happy, frantic affairs; busy and anxious but rarely overly dramatic. Where kids are concerned, it has been nothing short of heart stopping, breath taking and dramatic; and she’s had [...]

It never fails to baffle this girl to ponder how it is that the year is almost at its end. Didn’t it just start a while ago? Sure seems that way from where she is standing. Christmas came and went amidst the mad rush to sort the office out (for 12 people no less) and [...]

Amidst the crazy that seems to define this girl’s life these days, she took time out to be part of the most important wedding she’s attended these recent years. Smelly Melly and The Onion finally got married. Watching them take their vows in the sancity of the church, this girl was reminded of how all [...]
