Ally McBeal: 1997 – 2002.

23 Oct 2009

An early thanksgiving with a twist, dedicated to myself next April 2010
Read on and you’ll know why

I first heard of this series from my sister when she was home from Canada on summer break back in 1997. So I reckoned it must have been at least late 1998 when NTV7 aired it locally, since the channel were only launched in April that year.

I was a fan. Were you?
The original Ally McBeal cast from Season 1

Ally McBeal

L-R: Georgia, Billy, Elaine, John | Seated: Richard, Ally Mcbeal, Renée

It was an immediate hit for me. Reason being — ironic or not — I could relate to her crazy hallucinations, hapless love life, emotional conscience and most of all, her unrelenting love for Billy. The “backside sniffing” Love At First Sight slash First Love *LOL*

In Season 3 Episode 18, Ally turned 30. And this was aired back in May 2000 on FOX, possibly 2001 on NTV7. There I was — at an age of finding myself — definite and worried that I would turned out to be just like her when I hit the big Three-O. I didn’t mind the bank account, but to be loveless and with an imaginary dancing baby? *faints*

I’m gloating actually *showoff* *LOL* Although minus the financially independent part, I have a doting husband and expecting *thankful*

In short, my worries can now be behind me. The insane premonition of myself did not come true. I related to Ally McBeal but didn’t become her. And her imaginary dancing baby would be a real infant in my arms next March. Then in a month, I will happily cross over from the 20s, to the 30s. What she did not accomplished, I will be!

Things to achieve before 30: 1) Marry my Soulmate — Checked! 2) Become a Mother — I’m half way there! *smug*
