Aging

Aging becomes a bad word (almost vulgar) when you pass your 21st.
So taboo is that word that ladies especially will take great lengths to avoid.

As much as I try to hypnothesize myself to think that I'm still sweet 18... It just aint working anymore.
And I realise I am seriously aging, not when I spot fine lines or grey hairs.
I know I am getting old, when memory fails me.

Fess up now.. How many of you mid-twenties say the following wayyyy too often
- Huh? I said that?
- You mean I switched off the TV just now?
- Was I suppose to call you back?
- I am so sorry.. what's your name again?
- Darn, forgot to top up my ez-link
- Sorry, no drinking tonight, I need to rest/sleep

I bumped into an acquaintance yesterday.
I wouldn't have noticed her if she didn't smile and said Hi to me.
Try as I might.. I just can't remember her name. And I think it is rude if we were to strike up a conversation, and talk like we knew each other.. and yet I cannot recall her name.
And so, I almost literally ran away.

Was on my way home today.. and a little boy stood next to me.. I would have said he was a cute little boy.. if not for the fact that the cute little boy called me Auntie.
I mean.. Is it like that bad? Should I start shopping at FEP again?
I already have a hate-hate relationship with kids. So please, don't annoy me further by calling me auntie. And I hate those parents who ask their kids to call every female they see auntie. I mean what is your problem???? Just because you have a kid, you are old, you are fat, you are auntie/uncle doesn't mean everybody else is hor.
As long as I am not married, don't have kids.. I am not auntie okie..

Call me 姐姐. And I will give you a great big kiss.

I am still very young ok.. (at heart, that is).
I've just recently added a new addition to my carebear family.
And so now, I have three carebears instead of two.
I bought a Goodnight bear recently, the nemsis of Funshine.
One with a sun, the other with a moon.
Together they look so darn cute.

What did I say?
I am still into soft toys hor.
