In Response to Ophelia's Blog

One of my favorite quick sneak away from work is reading up my friend's blogs. ( it only takes a few minutes so boo you, bite me!) It's interesting because Knowing them for so long, and cohabitating with some of them, it is always nice to read up the things they have to say, knowing that we no longer have the luxury of picking up the phone or chatting over coffee, due to distance and the lack of time. Reading a friend's blog is the best way to keep in touch in a spiritual way....So bless the person who made blogging a hype!

I was reading something Ophelia wrote regarding how she has changed over the years. Though i'd add my bit too... Haha... One thing i thought i'd add was the things i see 20 yr olds doing now that i never did then, or would ever do now.

When i was 20....
1. I wore bell bottoms and slinky tops, clubbing was a weekend ritual
2. I had my clique in college and considered my bunch to be the cool bunch
3. I danced with any tom, dick or Harry at clubs, drank till i dropped off chairs ( cheap ladies
nite liquor)
4. I was 52kgs, and i thought i was quite thin
5. I talked alot, loved meeting new people and making new friends
6. I was still embarassed to reveal to my friends i was not celibate
7. I thought i'd get married at 25 and have a kid by 30
8. I wanted to wear power suits, work in a nice corporate company and be somebody's boss
9. I constantly criticised people sense of style
10. I had no regards for safety and did whatever i wanted to do ( e.g; walking down lonely Jalan Batai at 3am to go to 7-Eleven )

Today....
1. When people tell me they're still celibate, cz they haven't had sex but have done everything else, i feel like choking them
2. I don't club ( arghh the smoke and the Loud music! ), i don't binge drink ( i'd prefer sipping cognac or wine), and i can't dance to save my life anymore
3. I don't like meeting new random people, starting a conversation from scratch is too troublesome, and forcing myself to not analyze the root behind their stupidity and lame conversations is not something i look forward to.
4. I hear people talking in the lrt and instantly pick up if they're still in high school or not...
5. I'm 25 and i'm still far from ready to say "i do"
6. I hung up my power suits neatly in my cupboard, and traded my glamorous job for a job as a social worker.
7. I'm 46kgs, but i think i'm fat
8. Everywhere is going downsouth, boobs, butt, cheeks... triceps....
9. I have matured conversations, regarding work, politics, human rights, theories! (oh gosh)
10. I don't have much friends to hang out with everyday, and i'm liking it
11. I sleep before 12am, and take the train to work
12. I start my sentences with, "During MY time,we never........."

Things young punks do these days, that i'l never in my wildest dreams do....
1. 16 yr olds carrying Gucci and LVs to school and college
2. Use "fuck" as an adjective of every word
3. Have multiple sex partners
4. Have bimbo talks and walk the Bimbo life ( thanks to Paris Hilton)
5. Walk in public Braless ( they'll regret it when they're 25)
