Wow... it's been a long long time since I posted... and so much has happened since then. Switched jobs, fractured my hand, got married. Moments like these always make me realise that life is passing by so fast.

Fracturing my hand is definitely something an event that i will look back on and remember. It's really the first time i've ever injured myself. When the senior orthopedic surgeon looks at you and intones solemnly, "that looks serious", you start to get worried. And functioning with one hand is definitely an interesting experience. Makes you realise that the human body is a fragile thing. We all have our usual accumulation of aches and joint problems, but to be handicapped like that is a humbling experience especially since we tend to assume that we're invincible when we're young. I know fracturing one's hand doesn't compare to others who have had far more serious things happen to them, but it was still a life-changing experience in its own small way.

And the funny part was that it happened right before I got married in June this year. Yet another life-changing experience. We chose a park in Vancouver (where we were vacationing), and the weather and scenery was perfect. I was really glad that my mom was there to share in the moment, and that I was able to make this commitment to someone whom I love very much. Sometimes, it just feels right, you know? This was one of those moments.

I guess life will always move on, but I will always look back on moments like these and think, that was a life worth living. They might not be earth-shattering, but they matter to me and the people I love.

The funny thing was that I was originally gonna talk about my shrinking social circle (now that my lindy friends are leaving for greener pastures) but this seems a good spot to end. Guess i'll talk about it some other day :)
