Being 21

I never knew it would take such a short time for me to turn 21. Time flew by, too fast for me to even stop and think, is this for real? Things that happened when i was 16, seemed almost like last year. This is pretty scary. Everything from the good old days in KC, (all girls, and who the fuck gave a shit about guys then?), to my JC days, which weren't exactly that fun, probably i'm still not used to being in a mixed school, coupled with the A levels stress, didn't exactly make JC days as memorable as my convent days. I wish i could stay on in KC forever. By wearing my KC PE t-shirt and shorts gave me some form of consolation, that i'm still that convent girl, no matter what. I would gladly exchange anything for my sweet convent days.

What does it feel/take to be 21?

To me, being 21 means

• getting your first gold supplementary credit card, followed by a UOB mini
• to be able to drive a car
• getting your priorities right
• not believing in stupid fantasy love
• making sure you open your eyes wider when you look for a partner
• being independent
• going for coffee with friends, rather than watching a movie
• giving your parents monthly allowance after each pay cheque
• start planning for the future, and it definitely doesnt include marriage
• don't give a damn about marriage. Tell yourself, you're not going to get married at all
• listening to jazz when you're tired
• still reading chick lits/watching meteor garden
• finishing up the veggies
• getting laid (for some maybe)
• start planning for further education, like getting a masters overseas
• going on dates
• working out and look good (to save yourself)
