10 ways to know you are getting old...
How do you know you are getting old? This guide is made for those who claim that they are young but know that they are getting on age.
Below are top 10 signs that tell you that you are truly indeed getting old!!
1) Forgetfulness. You start scratching your head and wondering what you have forgotten-- or rather perhaps you forgot what you forgot! Hmmm... (Come to think of it I'm very sure I'm forgetting something important at this very moment.... Just not sure what it is!)
2) Repetition. You keep repeating yourself and not remembering that you have already said it! The classic "huh?? Did I mention it already??"
3) Obsession. You are obsessed with hair fall, hair loss, wrinkles etc etc..You know you are getting old when you start
counting your strands of hair that has fallen on the floor or the lines on your face..( oh wait.. There is some hair on the floor! Give me a moment! 1, 2, 3......97, 98???!!! That's fucking a lot!!! Dammit!!!)
4) Digression. You easily digress from the topic of your conversation. The best part of it is, you never get back to your point, not unless someone points it out to you. Oh look!! My baobei Angel just did that trick again! Ain't she cute?? Awwwww.... Did I tell you guys she's the cutest dog ever? Don't believe me? I show you!
Oops!! Unglam photo! Not this one! But cute right?? Ok ok I show you another one!
See?? Puss in boots eyes!!!
Oh wait... I was told I digressed...bad habit I developed recently... What was I talking about? Oh yeah! Digression as a sign of ageing:)
5) Distraction. No no, not that you are the object of distraction, but that you get easily distracted... Any little thing can distract you and make you forget... Oh!! Angel just did that trick again!!! Did you see that?!! Oh oh.. Sorry where was I again?
6) Forever 18. Yeah, when you start telling people you are 18 and continue that for the next 10 or more years.
7) Tiredness. Yeah you get easily tired, body aches, headaches, tummy aches or whatever aches after 1 or 2 hours of partying. You start falling asleep at 2 am instead of 8am after party. (what party? I'm getting too old for this!)
8) Home~li~ness: weekend? Stay at home. Weekdays? Stay at home after work. Holidays? Too tired, also stay at home. Home sweet home. Safe and warmth. If you have these thoughts, dude, you are getting old!
9) Have thin skin. By that I am not saying that younger people are thick skinned( actually there maybe some truth to that) I'm talking about dryness of skin cos it's thinner as you age. Yeah no kidding ok! Many people take this for granted but do you know how important this is? That's where wrinkles form! And also the fact that you have to start spending more money on moisturising cream for hand, feet etc...
10) oh... I forgot what the 10th one is supposed to be...hmm....hmmmm *GASPS* I'm getting old!! No I'm not! No no no... That's not true! I am still young ok? I'm forever young!
Oh, 10th one is denial:(((((

Happy mid autumn!
Well, I haven't celebrated mid autumn in years!
I remember I used to love this festival, from the time that I know about this festival, which I always call it the lantern festival, to the time I am old enough to feel that carrying a lantern is uncool, to no special feelings towards this festival as I am busy with school/work/can't be bothered anyways.
I used to love it when I was young! (feeling damn old now). I called it the lantern festival cos that's the whole point of mid autumn festival. No lantern=no fun.
I remembered the colourful cheap paper ones as well as the hip musical battery operated ones. From the paper ones, which I got to hold a while when I was young(cheap but so called dangerous fire hazard) to my favourite cartoon ones. There were also those transparent coloured paper ones! I wonder if it still exists... Ahh.. The nostalgia..
Anyways, I remembered going to Chinese garden, which is damn near my house, to see those colourful lanterns and decorations! Ahhh... Nostalgia again...
So today, earlier on, me and my friend wanted to visit Chinese garden to re live the memories again. Yes, as you grow older, you find yourself more nostalgic than ever... Remember those days when you...
Oops, I digress. Maybe I should blog about you know you are getting old when you...
Ahh.. Digress again. Anyway, my point is, I didn't know Chinese garden has an entry fee!
I must be so blissful as a kid. Everything is paid for me so much so I don't even remember there was a fee, either that or I remembered it was quite cheap... You see you know you are old when.....
Ok I digress again. But what I want to rant about is this. How can a bloody entrance fee for Chinese garden to see decorations and lights and some fireworks cost us 12 bucks for adults!???!! Even children were not let off! 8 bucks per child!!!
It's like the management of Chinese garden saying "oh since nobody visits Chinese garden at other times of the year so let's make use of this opportunity to charge sky high fee so as to cover our expenses for the whole year".
I thought it's owned by government or something?!! So expenses paid by government right? Then is our gar men so poor!!
I have evidence ok!
Did you see that??? I'm not kidding ok?
In the end being the cheapo that I am, I didn't go in. There goes my nostalgic experience. We were not the only cheapos ok? There were a lot of poor families who just had their lanterns and did their own mini mid autumn celebration with candles and all just before the entrance as if to protest--- WHY SO EXPENSIVE? WE CAN STILL CELEBRATE AND SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL LIGHTS AND DECORATIONS FROM OPPOSITE. (for your info, there is this mini river between the entrance to chinese garden, so a mini bridge is the only way to go in from entrance).
Anyways, we saw lots of families wondering if they should go in..
Oh well. At least the moon is beautiful. Proof that I went and seen the full moon. That's the point too right? Full moon? Think everyone is more obsessed about the chinese garden than to see the moon.
