You know you’re an adult/old when…
… you’re happy running errands/shopping alone because you don’t waste time.
… all the famous pop stars and actors are now younger than you.
… you feel nauseous at the sight of food coloring.
… you feel scared or annoyed around rowdy teenagers.
… people start asking their kids to call you “auntie”. You kick up a fuss and they say “oh ok jie jie then” but look at you disgusted.
… you can’t get to sleep much past 11am anymore on weekends because you’re too used to waking up early for work.
… you start preferring vegetables to fried chicken.
… you’re too tired to do anything on Friday night except watch a DVD or read to sleep.
… you pay taxes!!!! #successkid.jpg
… you stop wearing earrings besides the ones at the bottom of your lobes.
… you don’t know 70% of the bands on hitz.fm now.
… you start buying insurance (OK Fatty made me)
… you marvel at the energy and enthusiasm your younger colleagues have for Friday night.
… you realize you’ve stopped worrying about whether you look cool for some time now.
… you start planning how much Botox you’re gonna have. HAHAHA.
… you don’t mind eating alone.
… when older colleagues talk about “getting a younger person’s perspective” and they don’t look at you. FTS.
This post has been a while coming! There have been signs of “being an adult” cropping up here and there but now it’s rampant wtf. I am a full-fledged adult now. And I finally admit it.
Being an adult doesn’t mean hitting 21 and being able to vote. I’m talking about the pivotal moment you realize you aren’t a kid anymore. Fundamentally, it’s when you start taking responsibility for yourself… and then you turn into your parents.
More so cos I recently hired a twenty two year old who’s all cute and bubbly and I was like “wtf did she eat to get so much energy” but then I realized I USED to be like that. But now I’m old and haggard wise wtf.
WHY YOU THINK I 180 DEGREES CHANGE STYLE LEH. IT’S CALLED REFLECTING YOUR STATUS IN LIFE.
Shit maybe this means I’m actually OLD at heart.
Whatever! Embrace ALL the age! My new ambition is to be a MILF gyaru mama.
Seriously though, adulthood has its perks. Maybe in another post.
Gold tipped collar top from Azorias. My new favorite shirt <3<3
But I still laugh at poop jokes hahahahah.
Feel free to tell your #YouKnowYoureOld stories!

You know you’re old when you look back and realize high school is almost/more than 10 years go. =(

hmm.. for me, the real turning point was buying a house and having to make mortgage repayments. they are a real bummer!!! other than that… on a friday night, the two of us prefer to stay in and watch top gear instead of go out..celebrating 30ths instead of 21sts…oh, and comparing prices for veggies at the market :S but all the above (save the mortgage) make me happy
so here’s to this year, next year, and beyond!!~
February 29th, 2012 at 6:34 pm

i know im getting old when im not so into concert regardless of how fanatic i was to that rock bands back in school years.
when..I start listening to ballad, less upbeat songs(adele, christina perri, kina grannis) and some adult dilemma/ business segments on radio than listening to some young fan calling “OMG OMG OMG I WANT xxx TICKET!!! AAAHHHHHHHH” every hour wtf
March 3rd, 2012 at 4:54 am
I meet everything on your list too ……….
March 3rd, 2012 at 11:19 am
I think that is part of the “post engagement” feeling you have.
The engagament is sorta like telling you, okay, you are now officially an adult. *confirmation*
other adult-y behaviour and feeling include, don’t do self portrait as much as you use to be.
take other ppl photo more than myself.
you enjoy grocery shopping more than cloth shopping.
you picking up some serious hobbies like pottery, painting. In my case, I build LEGO
All the best Aud. You are doing fine.
March 3rd, 2012 at 4:54 pm
all the famous pop stars and actors are now younger than you.
sad maxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!
March 4th, 2012 at 11:49 am
