growing old

Taken from Jamie's blog:

"Age has caught up with us when...

1. We feel sleepy just 3 hours after waking up.

2. We desperately need coffee to keep us on our feet.

3. When we people-watch at orchard road, we find that 90% of the crowd is made up of teenagers and 5% is made up of the occasional office worker or 20- or 30- something. We feel old.

4. We have conversations like this:

A: (referring to a group of school girls debating in loud voices about which pair of sport shoes to buy) Were we like that last time?
J: (without hesitation) NO.
J: (5 seconds later) We were worse.

5. "Eat, sleep, daydream, watch dramas" seems ideal.

6. We start to lament about the past and dread joining the rat race. We talk about working life and job prospects.

7. We're sick of shopping and bored of everything."

I've got some additions of my own too:

8. We prefer to go home for dinner cuz eating out is expensive. Or simply cuz we're just tired (refer to (1) and (2), above).

9. Cheap is always good. Always. No matter what they say.

Hahaha, sad hor. I hate having the digit "2" in front of my age. It means I have to start working and contributing to the household soon. It also means I should start thinking seriously about what I really want in life, and not just some overarching goal like "being happy".

Anyway I'm off to church camp tomorrow! I really hope it'll give me a chance to sit back and re-examine my life, and from there I'll have a clearer view of everything that has been happening. And of course, to re-connect with God. I realize the reason why I haven't been able to hear God's prompting recently is cuz I haven't been spending enough time praying. I've been too caught up in life's trivialities that I guess I've sort of drifted away from Him. And I'm hoping church camp will be a good time for me to get away from life, and grow closer to God.

Cause if I am the joke
Then you're the punchline
