seven

7 years ago, on this day (13 Aug), my female owner started her first full-time job in a statutory board. She was assigned a buddy who was exactly 7 years older than her (they have the same birthday). The buddy didn’t like her at first but they soon became comrades in the office. It could be the fact that they share the same birthday or something but my female owner and her are quickly telepathic. They had great chemistry between each other and their conversations were full of laughter, wit and sarcasm, so enjoyable that people commented on how they enjoy watching them interact.

Anyway, because of this, my female owner often wondered how life would be 7 years from 13 Aug. Today’s the day, obviously. Then, she thought that she would be working in a higher position than her first job (maybe a senior), be married with maybe a kid. And of course, that means she is living in her own house and not with parents.

Never in her wildest dream would she imagine that she would be overseas, almost completing a doctorate in clinical psychology. Something that was so out of reach at that point in time, has become her reality. So different from what she thought she would be. She's jobless, single and overseas. In fact, everything is different. What remains same is that she is still surrounded by her family and very blessed.
