Live-alone virgin

I realise that I have been a "live-alone virgin" until tonight. What this means is that I am living in my house by myself, watching TV by myself, having dinner by myself, going to bed by myself, with nobody else in the house except me. Whilst I have had to spend some sleeping nights without Kimmy before, I have always had the company of my parents in law, who would ply me with liang teh and tau hway jui and chat with me until I retreated to the confines of my bedroom. And before I moved out after marriage, there was my brother around even as my parents went overseas on holiday, and also the pets whom I could talk to.

So here I am, losing my "live-alone virginity". Some of you who might have moved out when you turned 18 might view me as somewhat "over the hill" to experience this. No matter, from now on, I will be braver and more resilent, and no more mushy posts on having to miss my husband when he's away.
