I'm not Japanese, I should stop obsessing about my age

I've recently gotten to know some of my colleagues better and it's come to my attention that many of them are younger than I am.  I thought I am young, but there are those who are younger.  I commented that my hubs is working in a frat house I don't think I am in a better situation.  The HODs are obviously older, but among the non-HODs, i am nearly ancient.  very nearly...

For someone as childish as I am, I am finding it extremely difficult to face up to my age.  I don't want to grow old.  I don't want wrinkles. I don't want to grow fat.  I don't want to keep saying, "nowadays the kids are so blah blah".  

Aging gracefully is going to be an uphill task.  I need to stop obsessing about age.  I am not defined by a number.

I am who I am.

3.5 more working days. my mind is on holiday! last evening's kickboxing class totally killed me! i huffed and puffed and threatened to punch my imaginary opponent senseless, but in the end, it was i that suffered, not the air molecules that got knocked around. my body is aching like a 90-year-old who's just completed 100 push-ups. i couldn't sleep last night because of the pain. i had to wake hao-e up to massage my shoulder-blades which were so sore and is still kicking up a ruckus behind me. my gosh! i tis old and feeble.

We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

歌曲：失恋无罪 歌手：黄丽玲 专辑：失恋无罪 作词:林夕 作曲:刘勇志 编曲:冯文甫 你说我对你紧紧跟随 你觉得疲惫 你一句话就逼我撤退 没想到你说最近选择 -个人睡 我忍住眼泪我尊重眼泪 孤独万岁失恋无罪 谁保证一觉醒来有人陪 我对于人性早有预备 还不算太黑 独身万岁失恋无罪 爱不够爱你的人才受罪 用过去悲伤换来自由 难道不珍贵 一个人崩溃 并不是在犯罪 this is a wonderful song by a-lin sang beautifully by 梁文音
