Adult Phase

You know...

I used to wish that Peter Pan would pick me instead of Wendy to bring to that Neverland. That one place that adults are not allowed and children never have to grow up. A place where I could play child games forever, laugh or cry as much as I want and no one will think I'm crazy.

But...

On the contrary, some kids can't wait to grow up and become adults. When they're 12, they act like they're 21, and by the time they are 21, they act like they are in their late twenties (yes, please accept the fact that irregardless how much kids wanna be old, they won't wanna be older than 29). But act is totally different from being one.

Now...

I'm mid-twenties. Life hasn't exactly been smooth sailing. But I'm healthy, have a roof over my head, can wear nice clothes, I'm employed, it'll be cruel to complain. Its just that responsibilities come with adulthood. Not that attractive a package for me, especially the ones that involves money and better living conditions.

I guess...

There is always two sides to a coin. If I never grew up, I would never know the importance of family, sibling relationship, love, friendship, which are exactly the things which keeps me happy. Although tired of growing up, I'm sure there is more to gain than lose in the process.

Note: For now, I'm looking forward to growing up with YOU. Good luck! *wink*

I.M.S.H.O.C.K.E.D.

The bill finally came for last month's consumption of water, electricity and garbage disposal.

*EYES OPEN BIG BIG* *JAW DROP TO THE GROUND*

$316.53

Electricity itself was $220.52!

Never in the 3 years that I've been living in Singapore have I received such an amount of bill for electricity. Even when there were three of us (Me, Erin and Mandy) living together. This amount has to be the most ridiculous one I've seen to date.

Thanks to my new housemate.

I knew nothing good was going to come out from his purchase of a portable dryer. Plus his love of washing clothes even if it was like 3 pieces he put in the machine.

*TRIES TO KEEP EYES FROM POPPING OUT AND JAW INTACT*

I am shocked!

A Story About Siti...

Sis was sitting in the kitchen at the counter.

Her friend Wei Yen, also known as Chicken Little, also known as Siti, was washing dishes at the sink overlooking our neighbour's kitchen.

Sis: Siti, you sudah pandai ah. Boleh cuci pinggan tak ada pecah. Tapi you lambat la. Cepatlah.

Wei Yen: *No response*

Sis: Siti cepatlah Siti! Banyak lagi kerja nak buat tau.

Wei Yen: Diamlah!

Mom: Sshh! Not so loud la! The neighbour's maid is just opposite k!

Apparently, the neighbour's maid's name IS Siti.

*laughs until dies*
