Had wanted to write something like this for a long time. Got this feeling of getting older by the day especially with the "dreaded 30" fast approaching. How ironic that you wished you were older when you were just a young punk and wishing you will stop aging when you get older.
You know you are getting older when:1.
you can't even remember some stuff that you had told your friends or other half just days ago. My baby can testify to this. Haha.
2.
you start to "compete" with those uncles and aunties on getting to the escalators at MRT stations especially during morning rush hours. This may be a sign of getting old or simply just a way of surviving in Singapore. (Last time when I still young, will always give way and sometimes wait until cows come home also not my turn lor.)

you thought Restaurant City is a new restaurant that had opened in Orchard. I personally lost interest in Facebook and its numerous applications donkey years ago. Nowadays go into Facebook is just to confirm friend request. Dun really understand why others can stay in Facebook for like hours while I can log off in 5 mins (and that is the max).
4.
you start to say "these youngsters or young punks hor...." or "when I was still young hor..." in conversations with your friends. Damn. This really makes me feel old and did I say something like this earlier? Shit.
5.
you said you last cheong at Ministry of Sound/Sparks/Canto/China Black/Double O/Mdm Wong/Wong Shan (Please delete where applicable). I am totally out of sync with the nightlife nowadays and the latest cheong place that I can tell my friends is Dragonfly. Haha.
6.
a karang guni uncle who is much (x 100 times) older than you asked you "Uncle, you got anything you want to sell boh?". Please lor... Even if I got something to sell, I won't sell you lor!
7.
a current picture of yourself and a picture of yourself 5 years ago looks like those before-and-after photos in some advertisments by some beauty and wellness centre. I hate my former colleague for putting up the photo we took 5 years ago in Facebook.
8.
you prefer briefs over boxers. Heard in a Taiwanese variety show hosted by Tao-zi that only the older generation wear briefs nowadays and boxers are now the in-thing. I, for one, can't seem to fathom the idea of wearing another pair of shorts inside your jeans/pants/berms. Hot leh...
9.
the DJ at the radio station announced a classic, i.e. oldies, love song is to be played and you are, unfortunately, able to sing along with it. Not only songs on radio, even at karaoke, I prefer to sing not-so-new songs liao.
10.
you look at the above nine points and say "me too leh!". Welcome to the club! =)
