Age

Idk why I still keep using the word "next year" to refer to 2010. It's always like that for the first few days of the year isn't it? Or is it just me? :(

No matter how many times I reiterate that I am STILL AND ONLY NINETEEN (thus, still a teen :D), people are just even more keen to burst my bubble and insist that I'm already 20 this year. As much as I hate to admit, yes technically I am 20 this year. But the fact remains that I just turned 19 okay! I cringe at the thought that I'm 20 already. It feels like age is catching up even faster now. :( It's not so much that I'm reluctant to get older, but I shudder when I think about the responsibilities and trials that follow. Yes, I am terrible with responsibilities and am still learning.

Back then when I was in kindergarden, I can't wait till I get into primary school. When I was in primary school, I can't wait to go to high school. When I was in high school, I look forward to go to college and university. But I won't say the same now. Heh :P Instead, I wish I get to go back to kindergarden. >.< To be just a kid, carefree, innocent and mischievous. Though idk if the word "innocent" still apply for kids these days. But I do know my nephew is!

ADORABLE!

He's aging too! And lost weight d :( I miss his "round-ness"

I realized, the evidence of my aging process is beginning to surface day by day.

Symptoms of Aging:

1. Deteriorating memory

-Mine sometimes beats that of my mum's

2. Deteriorating stamina

-Rigorous exercise makes me exhausted faster than before. Evidently while playing captain ball, badminton etc :P

Ok shall stop there.

But it's not all that bad.

Maturity comes with age. Well kinda, in a way. :)

Anyways, you know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake. Was at my relative's just now and we celebrated my uncle's belated birthday. On his cake there was only one small candle.

Reason being one candle indicates "one year older ONLY". =.= Not a bad idea.

Sidetrack:
Turkey today is sooooo much nicer!!!

How can you resist GOLDEN turkey!?!?
(it's homemade btw, so much better than San Francisco's!)

Caesar's salad

The feast

Oh ya! Aging is good for wine and whiskey :)

To conclude I would like to clarify, this post is not to impose fear towards aging. Rather, a comfort for all, knowing we'll all have our shares in life. Aging cannot be put to a halt, lets just all stay young at heart ;)
