Age(ing)...

You know that age is catching up with you when you find yourself:
1) Hanging out at Toa Payoh rather than Takashimaya@Orchard
2) A walking advertisement for food stalls/stores rather than upmarket and trendy apparel/accessories shops
3) Eyed suspiciously by the bus driver who thinks you are (mis)using a student concession EZ link card
4) Showing the EZ link card without any protest nor defiance at the overzealous driver's demands
5) Forgiving the driver's impertinence as a trait of his youth, with sage that goes beyond the years
6) Served by waiters/waitress, salesman, salesgirl who blurt out all so respectfully that you are their GRAND (to the power of x) senior in sec sch/JC and from then on, look in awe at the archaic artefact in you throughout the dining/shopping trip.
7) Trading the teenyboppers' tunes on Perfect 10, Power 98 for the soothing (aka mature) songs of Class 95 and Gold 90.5
8) Brazenly shoved fliers of a wedding agency cum bridal studio cum slimming centre.

Okay, I get the hint. Bleah...

Haha, and I'm sure by now you've encountered the "Have you got a bf?" question and comparisons with loads of younger cousins who are already attached and flaunting it.. that must be one of the worst.

Indeed, the scene is getting more competitive by the year but thou shall not panic. It would only bring on the wrinkles.
