I created a list for Signs of Ageing on my frenster blog last yr:
- When you don’t bother too much about big brands anymore
- When you keep experiencing dejavu
- When you prefer staying at home as oppose to going out
- When they start doing remixes of songs from your teenage era
- When your network friends become far and few
- When retro is in again and you were around the last time it was in
- When you use to be called jie-jie and now get called aunty
- When you start resorting to whitening creams to rid the age spots
- When you stop wearing perfume opt for Tiger balm & Bengay
New additions:
- Your memory seriously becomes that of a goldfish… ie. you ask the same question that you just asked a minute ago :p
- Routine’s your best friend
A break/disruption is catastrophic and devastating!!! - You say you want to try somewhere different for dinner/lunch – you end up at the same place you go to everyother time
Sushi Tei/Central hehe… - You’re birthday presents/treats are more refined – hehe, cos with age, comes wisdom in gift selection, among other things
- You’re taste buds take a strange turn – e.g you develop a strange liking for gross things like bitter gourd, herbal chicken, you start to crave things like yew char kueh & soyabean
- You become more diligent about taking vitamins & GNC becomes your No1 shop-stop
- You develop a ‘Less-is-more’ approach in your possessions
- You treasure relationships more – family/frens. You try to be more tolerant of people’s quirks/shortcomings
- You can listen to the same song OVER and OVER again
- You have a tendency to leave the keys in the door
- You have sporadic panic attacks as you think you’ve misplaced your handphone/sunglasses etc but the darn thing is hanging off you or in your pocket!!!!
Any more to add?!!!
