Forever young.

Today is the 30th of January. And 5 days ago was 25th. And 5 days ago, I turned 20. Like finally after 20 years of waiting. Okay, maybe not a 'like-finally' response, I think it would sound better this way - "Whoah, 20 already?! I'm getting older and older each day!" But then again, they say, the older you get the wiser you become?

And I can't believe I'm turning 21 next year. Huh, talk about legal age. I don't feel that the legal age thingy has much of an impact to me, anyway. Except being able to get married and probably buy a house and a car(with no license) which I don't think will happen exactly when I turn 21.

I think I did mention in my previous post about how I don't feel like my age or even look like my age. If you can't recall here it is.

If I hadn't tell you guys what my actual age was, how old do you think I am?

A few of my aunts and uncles whom I'm not really close to but are closely related (if you know what I mean) have always thought I am the 15 year-old, which I was 5 years ago, now. In other words, through their eyes, I am just forever 15. Every time I went for family gatherings and I see those not-so-close-but-closely-related aunts and uncles, I would always get this, "Eh, so big already ah...? Which secondary level are you at now? Sec 3 ah? Eh, sec 4 eh?"

Firstly, I was quite amused with the ever-so cliche statement, "Eh so big already ah?" You would never fail to get that when you meet your relatives whom you seldom see. And then comes the horror - sec 3? sec 4? Hello? Seriously, sec 3? sec 4? When I've already grown out of the secondary school years?

Something needs to be done to my physical features so that I can look like my age again. If not my aunts and uncles would forever think that I'm a 15 year-old when I'm 5 years older. I really can't imagine them having this mindset when I'm double of that age, married and have kids. Then I'll forever be young. Wow!
