Ageing #2
Posted by Ling on March 25, 2008
When I was younger, I wanted to be older so I could go watch scary 18 movies and get into clubs with my friends. Now that I am older, I want to be younger!!
I tend not to hang out with people my age or older because I worry that they will think I am silly for my age; whereas if I hang out with younger people, I hope that they think I am cool and funky for an oldie.
What annoys me though is when these youngbies say things like, “Oh no, I’m turning 20 this year, I’m SOOOO old…” and then the other youngbie will say, “No, but I’m turning 21 this year, I’m OLDER!!”
ERM??!!! HELLO??!!!!
“What are you on about?? I am rapidly approaching the big 3-0!!!!”
Some consideration would be much appreciated!
Recently, I had a mini reunion with three of my HOT uni classmates – Mrs Smart, Miss Jay and Miss VeeBee.
- Mrs Smart recently married another dentist
- Miss Jay is still loved up with the boyfriend of 8 years
- Miss VeeBee is dentist by day, actress by night
We met at this Italian restaurant for luncheon. My hair was curled to perfection as I had been at the hairdressers and I even slapped on some make-up.
Miss VeeBee and I have this friendship which is based on brutal honesty. She tells me like it is and I give it right back.
The first thing she said to me, “You look OLD! You’ve aged!!!”
(- she knows I’ve been ill…gurrr!)
Then after lunch, we headed to this swanky expensive skincare store and Miss VeeBee turned to me, “You should get something in here because you look OLD!”
Boohoo! Enough already!
However, on the same week I looked old, I was on the train; looking drained after a hard day at work – scruffy and make-up-less. The train conductor came round.
“A single ticket to *destination* please.”
I paid. I don’t usually take the train (but cannot drive yet because of illness), but I thought the ticket price was cheap. I looked at ticket.
I had been charged a CHILD fare!!! To get a child ticket, you have to be 15-years-old or under!!!!
In conclusion : Age is just a number and you’re only as old as you feel – and I feel GOOD!

No worries, you still act like a brat! Ahahaha! I think I’m one of those who say I’m getting OLDER! But I like saying it to you, cus it puts things into perspective for me, haha :p I don’t want people to think I’m stupid and retarded for my age – is that what happens when one grows up? I don’t wanna grow up then – boo! Let’s go to Neverland! Not the MJ one, mind you.
