born serene oh but not old.
nicknamed the old one now.
i stress, i am not old.
i would prefer to be called, mature.

It's not a dream if it came true,
but we exist to dream.
Make a wish,
I'm your faithful genie that doesn't have much patience :)

hmm. what to say? i am old. haha. sorry to those out there reading and older than me, who most probably will only be adi and maybe his sister. heehee.

was queueing to draw cash from an atm machine in jubilee when she walked past me. guess who? the one with the exact name as me except the surname. haha. she's serene yeo shiling. hahaa. like so fun right. ahhaa. anyways, i was so surprised to see her. it's been many donkey years since we last met. like..yah, many donkey years. haha. the first thing i asked was,
"how old are you now?"
"15."
"oh my gosh. you are 15 already? isn' that sec 3? i feel so old."
"how old are you?"
"18."
"isn't that my kor's age?"
then i remembered, yah her brother is of the same age as me. freak. i feel so old. old enough to ask people how old they are already. oh. one thing. in case you guys are confused, she used to be my reading buddy when i was in primary school. i teach her. haha. and her brother was my friend, maybe classmate? hmm. don't remember. haha. like how everyone knows everyone in primary school and secondary school. haha. there's no way we can trace back the relationship. haha. anyway, the conversation continues.
"yah lah. hahaa."
"oh. i have boyfriend already."
"what?! gosh. you are only sec 3 lah." *note: i nearly fainted.*
"you don't have meh?"
"no. i don't."
"okays. hahaa."
"so, how's studies?"
"hmm. i fail english."
"what?! you failed english? we should start speaking in english man." *note: we are conversing in chinese.*
"anyway, my brother is in rp now."
"oh. not bad. heehee. is he happy there?"
"i guess so. he is buying a laptop that costs $2000+. yeah."
*by now, i have finished drawing.*
"okays. so where are you going now?"
"to the interchange to meet my boyfriend."
"okays. hmm. so i see you yah. hee. byebye."
"byebye." *and she smiled happily.*
okays. now now now. i feel so old. and single. haha. like oh nos. hahaa. i don't know why my reaction's so big when i heard she has a boyfriend. i guess, i just cannot accept the fact that someone i know has a boyfriend at 15. hmm. conservative? maybe.

anyway, i'm really happy to see her. like after so many donkey years. the last time i saw her was only a glimpse like years back when i'm on the bus. wow. so long ago. and after a while, i realised one thing. she is the age of my cousin. why did i feel so old then? hmm. maybe cos i havent been around her long enough. haha. or maybe cos i really havent seen her in donkey years. oh nos. i am old. old. old.

i keep on saying that i have a generation gap with the kids, and they are only one year younger. oh nos. i am old aint i? or am i thinking of myself being so old that i just take it? oh nos. i am old. but i am happy to be old. cos old represents wisdom, respect and experience? hmm. but i don't act mature in front of my kids. oh wells. kids will always be kids. haha. now i know why people say that. and i still cannot believe serene is 15 already. ahh!!

i am old! so are you. hahahahahahaa.
bah.
