Are friends forever?

Read a very good article by Ignatius Low (A toast to friendship) from the sunday times just now. I swear that simple article he wrote can make you think....deep! no matter how shallow a person you are. Im not kiddin'. I need to treasure friendship more especially now that i have less time for them.

Met up with nuan, my very best pal since secondary school on sat night. It always amuse me how when we first met, we were actually logger-heads and we just didnt look like the sort that can ever click. Then we realised we have friends that are, ahem, lets just say, of a lower level. she has a matured mind of her own which i truly appreciates. Her guidance and advice for me is always true and comfortable and worth listening to and im so glad we made the right choice by going through JC together despite the fact that, only a handful of us chose the JC journey and also the fact that most of our peers from that secondary sch chose the more conventional poly-path. We slacked, we played, we fooled, we fumbled, and we tumbled but we made it. As lame as it sound, we really made it together....through and true. Though our paths seperated when we both made a very personal decision to stay in a different hostel we are still tied to heart as best of friends. Though we never get to meet each other as often like how other best-friends does, our ties remained blood thick. Hey, i mean it. She is important to me. Uh-ooh, a toast to friendship!

The black angus meal was good but of course the best part was still the catching-up and updating-s. She said ive changed, i guess so, probably more matured but not any much wiser. Ha. She bought me clinique's SPF20 foundation, just what i needed! Now, tell me about best pals who understand you like no one else does. :)

Brought weijin down to california fitness today for a 2 week trial. Glad she enjoyed pump cause i knew she will luv it as much as i do. Come on girl, your resolution shall be a toner figure after 3 mths at fitness first! tee hee...

So anyway, you know when i said i age by days and not by years, i seriously think its happening to me. All my irritating colleagues keep telling me that i look like some-25 year-ish lady than a supposingly 22-year old girl. Im sad lah. Like come on, ive only worked in the bank for 2 mths coming to 3 and im lookin like a 25. One of my 33 year old colleague told me "we are on par" when we were out drinking one night. Wat the F.

I dont know since when it started, whenever i walk pass a road-show with credit card promoters or any insurance booth, they will cofirm, chop, stamp approach me. Shit. Do i have a mature face or do i just look like some rich and sophitiscated someone? Hmmn. I was in shorts and singlet today after gym walking down orchard road and there were like numerous citi-bankers who approached me for cards stillll......im sad lah.

Oh, and that wasnt the last incident. Yesterday when i was casually shopping and looking at some lovely bracelet, the sales auntie started to chat me up. She was so shock when i told her im only 22....like hello, im really 22 lah, i bluff her for what? She said its not my face (means i dont look old is it?) and its also not the skin texture of my face ( erm...having outbreak doesnt make me look older) but its the way i talk and the way i carry myself. She said i looked like someone who has been through a lot.....what the triple F lah. I was extremely upset. It must be where im working, its causing all these emotional stress that im starting to look older.

Worst still, i met up with the personal trainer at the gym and he thought i was born in 79. Do your own math and you will know how old he thought i was. Needless to say, im starting to feel so damn irritated and sensitive to how old ppl think i am. Cant cool down lah....boiling like nobody's business.

A declaration: I AM ONLY TWENTY TWO.

Well, breathe easy.
