just sent a very good friend of mine to the airport again. its the nth time she has come back to singapore since she "moved" to germany 2 years ago to stay with her boyfriend.
looking back, it is amazing how time flies. there we were, at the airport reminiscing about all the crazy things which we did in the past. if you had asked me then, i would never have guess that our lives would turn out this way.
we met in the most unusual of circumstances: at a bus stop on a bike ride. i had agreed to meet some friends there and she was also waiting for some other friends. somehow we started talking and something clicked. we met more regularly for training after that as we were training for our virgin IMs then (she somehow had persuaded me to sign up for langkawi 07). she was cool and spunky and independent and had a great sense of humour and that was where i guess we sort of fit together like two odd-cutting pieces of a puzzle.
swim bike run and many trips up north for races later, i went to france for my studies. during that time, she went through many difficult periods in life, but still continued training. and in the most extraordinary of situations too, she met her now-boyfriend.
fast forward two years later, she has been all over the world; no longer the same girl whom i used to pick up at pasir laba camp after work nor the housemate whom i used to watch monty python with. while i used to be the one making the overseas phone calls at noon, now we have switched places.
and now she's trying for a baby. amazing. as i said, i would never have imagined this two years ago. another IM? definitely. german boyfriend? maybe. getting married and starting a family? hell no! haha.
anyway you go girl and all the best. show them what ironwomen are made of. =)
