The only consolation is that everybody around me is also agar agar the same as I have been getting birthday greets from as early as a couple of days ago. Memory is fading for them as well. Everybody is starting to get the dates wrong but then hor, can still remember not bad already lah. double sigh...
--> You know that you are really getting on in age when Mambo reminded you of the good old days. When all drinking hell break loose at the stroke of Midnight Madness. When before Phuture even existed, the space was just a modest MTV bar with a pool table at the end. When Long Island Hooch tarik with Southern Comfort Seven was the poison of choice. Ask anybody else today about Mambo and they will reminisce about the good ol' "last Wednesday". triple sigh...
--> You know that you are really getting on in age when you can't get up at 7am to get to work after getting home at 5.30am from last night's partying. You ended up getting up at 7pm instead, realising that your day was already over and you decided to sleep in till the next morning, which you still woke up late for work. quadruple sigh...
--> You know that you are really getting on in age when the smile on your kids' faces are worth more than anything else in the world. Even more than the air ticket that you won in the golf tournament. pentuple sigh...--> You know that you are really getting on in age when you start to think about the type and model of car that you are going to get. Not for yourself, but for Faith when she gets her driving license. hextuple sigh...

Here are my contribution from one of my LJ entries few years back...

You know you are getting fat...
1. The new pants you bought now need two pegs on each end to hold it in place on a hanger.
2. The new pants you bought which is the same size as your previous favourite, now can't seem to fit well. You brought it back to the shop and complained loudly that you've bought a tailoring defect...then to be pointed out by the harried sales assistant that your size 33 is the same measurement as other size 33 in the entire clothing industry.
3. When you run to catch the departing bus...you don't seem to be as fast & agile as before. The word i'm thinking of is...waddle.
4. When you ask your mate whether if there is any remote possibility that a leather belt can shrink...cos you're beginning to find buckling up on to that familiar second belt hole more & more resembling a contortionist act in the morning.

Unless you meant to tell me that you started to cheong Mambo when you were still in your pinafore?
Anyway, you reminded me of my tuition student (also Pinafore Toa Payoh) who lied to me that she was sick and had to cancel tuition. Suay suay, kena spotted in Fire Disco. Wow, that must have been more than 12 years ago when I was still in NS.
Hmm... the youngest I ever encountered were two 13-yr olds trying to bum a cigarette from me at Madam Wong.
I refused naturally but fell short of giving them a lecture to go home. Minutes later, there they were huddled in a corner sharing a single stick of cigarette (from somebody else). Pathetic!

i clearly remember i left a comment in here greeting you a happy birthday. 22. ei|een left...
i may not be very old in age, but i feel damn old in mind and spirit, and also body. too much alcohol and late nights. too much partying and life. sigh. i started pretty young lah. i guess you could say that i was already clubbin during my pinafore days.
eh, those were the days when age checks weren't the norm. and we had paper bus passes which were easy to, er, "correct". haha. oops. :p
the kids are starting even younger nowadays, like your 13 yr olds. tsk tsk. want cigarettes, at least find a way to buy them yourself lah! bumming off strangers is forgivable only when you're pissed drunk, or trying to pick up someone. heh.
i look at them and i think to myself "my god! was i ever like that when i was their age?! i hope not!" i prefer to delude myself that i was a much "classier" teen. bwahahaha! ;)

haha! your student really reminds me of myself when i was younger! oh, the foolishness of youth, when all is carefree and the only thing that truly matters to one then is fun fun and fun! heh.i may not be very old in age, but i feel damn old in mind and spirit, and also body. too much alcohol and late nights. too much partying and life. sigh. i started pretty young lah. i guess you could say that i was already clubbin during my pinafore days.

ei|een: Whoa, you also quite the happening one har? My student is 6 years younger than I which make her 28. Would have you known her in school?
As for the two 13-yr-olds, I would have looked the other way as far as them partying is concerned, but seriously, I question the need to smoke if they were unable to. I mean, don't smoke, don't smoke lor? Why must go bum off strangers?
Then again, bumming cigarettes off people really isn't that big a deal, but it just looked so weird coming from a pair of 13-yr-olds.

dunno if i would have known your student. if she's 28, then she would have been in sec 3 or sec 4 when i was in sec 1. didn't really mingle much with the upper sec when i started school. still innocent then! haha :p

heh. i agree about the smoking issue. i wouldn't give ciggies to young kids, even though i have been down that path before. if they were 17/18 yrs old, its not so bad. 13 is just too young.dunno if i would have known your student. if she's 28, then she would have been in sec 3 or sec 4 when i was in sec 1. didn't really mingle much with the upper sec when i started school. still innocent then! haha :p
