I had dinner plans with my cousins last night. We haven't gotten together for quite a while and since J came back from Singapore for a short break, we made it a point to catch up. Furthermore, in another 2 months, M will be moving to Beijing. We will be so scattered and catching up is probably once a year event if everyone comes home for Chinese New Year.
Anyway, I was getting dressed and decided to put away my favourite and seasoned jeans for those that I've not worn for ages. I fished out a pair of jeans I bought last year and to my horror, it won't push pass my hips! I got out another pair and again that too didn't fit! This is the first time that I can't get into my clothes. Before this, I've put on old clothes that fit a little tighter than before but never at any time that they won't even fit. To me, it was a BIG thing.
Since I was already running late, I went back to my old faithful. And so we went, headed to Fatty Crabs and ate too much crabs with bread, fried chicken wings and satay. After dinner we headed elsewhere for drinks. While they had Sangria, I was sipping sweetened mango juice followed by a glass of rich, iced chocolate. Obviously, I've forgotten the time when I couldn't fit into my jeans.
We laughed a lot, mostly because M was constantly an amusement to the rest of us. For one thing, she had recently lost her denture and so the gaping hole in her mouth was enough to make us laugh. Her 2-year old daughter had knocked her head against her tooth and her denture cracked. We asked why doesn't she just get it replaced, and she said she's embarrassed because she had gotten 4 replacements already and her dentist may be sick of her. And we were like "So you're not embarrassed to go toothless??". Apparently not.
Jokes aside, we also had a lot of private talks about our own lives. Things we find hard to share with even those closest to us, we found it easy to tell each other. I will miss our night-outs when M moves away. She's the glue that holds the rest of us together. Though she's not the oldest amongst us, she acts like our Big Sister. But then again, we each have a life to lead and if it leads us to live in different corners of the world for the sake of a marriage, we have to accept and be happy for each other.

looks like u increase ur hip size......maybe due to a few factor and i'm dwelling into that...chuckle..
Jeans not passing the hips? That sounds too close to home. Sigh! I find my current pair of jeans getting a little too tight for comfort. Oh, oh, danger zone!!
hehehehe ;) ladies...
I am yet to find a woman who is pleased and blissfully happy with her waist and bums and nose all at the same time. So, if u r telling me u hv waist expandd to danger zone, i can bet my last ringgit that u hv the cutest nose, or the sweetest smile or the most amazing eyes....count ur blessings...
I adore women!!!!in whatever sizes and shapes.
