“I need to check your ID”

This is outrageous. Absolutely insulting. I am already damned 25 and have to be checked by the bouncer - where Double O’s minimum age entry is 18years old???
What’s more infuriating was that I was singled out from my group of friends.

Am so used to people commenting that I look hell young. Jeanette the new colleague took on the Mercury’s traditional age guessing game on her 1st day. Like all others, the bet was on me as the youngest and Jasmine the oldest. The truth was that Jasmine was only 22 and I’m already on the run of 5 yrs to stage of the big 3. The game always results in great exasperation from the two of us.

I’m NOT flaunting my ‘youthful’ look. Am fully aware of how women will kill for a face that does not betray their age. But having a baby face (aka Gin Na look) did not really do me much good now. Sigh. The injustices I suffered cos of it, I guess only Guifang and Shufen can really understand what I mean (strangers have mistaken Shufen as an unwed teenage mom).

Speaking of which, have a marvelous time with the girls last night. Have not seen them for more than a year but I feel right at ease with them despite being absent from their gatherings for years.

Updates:
Shufen (married, 5 months pregnant, working in SPH),
Guifang (just broke off with boyfriend, working in Accounting Firm)
Guoting (getting married next year, working in bank)
Qishuang (long-term relationship, working in bank)
Huimin (long-term relationship, working in Starhub)

Met their boyfriends the same night too, which I discovered a trend. Whoever ultimately will be forever with us, will be in great contrast from those guys we been dating. You may be dating ‘bad boys’ or hunks all the while… but the one holding your dainty hand down the wedding aisle is an average Joe. But it is only him that can provide us with the care and commitment, the one who make you loved.

Having said that, I didn’t mean that ‘bad boys’ or handsome guys cannot be the one for us but my statement actually sum up a good life theory ~
Life will not measure up to whatever your expectations are. Learn to flow with it and derive greater contentment.

When young, we have been searching for our Prince Charming with all the desired qualities. We want the perfect job we been daydream of. We want the perfect family. We want perfect friends. But as we get older, we realized that life isn’t that straightforward and compromising.

I admitted it. I have the tendency to go for the ‘bad boy’ types. I have wanted to be teacher (so can get gifts on Teacher’s day mah…haha…*just kidding lah*). Wanted to grow old with my dear friends like Wenliang, Janice and gang. But things just didn’t work that way.
My relationships didn’t last. Have taught in Kindergarten for a year and found that teaching was too stagnant and boring for my liking. Distance caved in between that group of friends and me as the years passed by.
But I’m living and coping with these. Life is teaching me lessons slowly and throwing hints on which of my dreams are achievable. So, here am I, with a change of taste in men and a fascinating job.

P.S: Vinz, no need to see picture of that guy I’m gaga about lah. I shy to take picture leh.. Let me paint a picture of him.
A clean-cut chap with a charming smile and positive attitude in work. Not a stunner nor a looker but the way he conducts himself - confident and charismatic, definitely a subtle yet lethal weapon of attraction....
