Perks of Being 20

Hi. I like my new blog I hope you like it too.

I am so fucking ambivalent about being 20... On one hand it's really not too bad because older people don't refer to you as "xiao mei mei" anymore, they call you young. Which is nice. It's always nice to be young. But on the other oh my god the crippling sense of responsibility I feel every waking moment is enough to make me permanently grouchy.

I'm just gonna think about the good parts to cheer myself up here because I really miss life as a poly student. T_T

1. You confirm by now have a friend who drives. This means ROAD TRIPS!!!! And LATE NIGHT SUPPERSSSSS!!!!!

2. You are partially financially independent. Provided you don't splurge la. I remember needing to save up to eat McDonald's lol those were the days. Not that I eat a lot of McDonald's now. (Now no time to sleep also huhuhu)

3. You are old enough to do nearly everything but watch R21 movies and enter sex shops. So you are old, but not old enough. Sounds good yeah. Don't tell me it's scant comfort. IT'S GOOD THAT YOU STILL HAVE SOME RULES YOU CAN BREAK. This is called cheap thrill.

4. You have control over 80% of your life by now. Unless your parents are overly attached. Which is 100% better than being indifferent. This one I can't really feel actually cuz I've been quite independent since 6??? I am damn obedient. And then I am damn good at compromising. Last time cannot stay overnight at chalets, so just stay until last bus/train lor. Now I want to go home also cannot. But that's okay. My house will always be there. Until the 99 year lease is up.

5. Although you are now largely in control of and mostly responsible for your life, you are ONLY 20. Your colleagues will be a little bit nicer to you because you're not even 21. You should or are going to be in university, but fuck that shit you're working now and you're considered brand new and fragile. So they will handle with care.

6.You can use the "I'm going to uni" excuse to quit a job. Not that I will. But still. The excuse is there.

7. You can still use your student card to get student discount. #superauntySK

8. By now you should have many happy memories e.g. first trip overseas with friends, first trip overseas, graduation, second/third/fourth trip overseas with the same friends etc. I have so many things to remember and be grateful for.

After writing so much I realised they are mostly only applicable to me HAHA I can't think for the masses I can't even think for myself I really want to sleep so badly it's been 6 days since I had more than 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Okay fine I'm still better than those who have insomnia but aaggghhhhhh we have the same problem: NOT ENOUGH SLEEEEP.

By the way I'm at work lol preparing for huge ass event PLEASE COME IF YOU CAN??? I promise good food. It's the World Street Food Congress~~~ If you are interested just ask me for more details. 

I NEED TO SHOW U GUYS MY RAINBOW POLAROID:

YAY~~~

The last pink polaroid I gave to Asyraf on graduation day. What a cock block.

LOL JK luv u abang.

Ed's tail has been curling. =(

It's not serious but I'm just sad.

By the way could you tell his tail's been growing?!?!?! The white parts are turning blue-ish awwww my baby is growing up :') :') :')

Here's a photo of his tail when I just got him:

The greens became more blue and it definitely became bigger.

2 weeks later and a nicer photo of the entire fish hahaha.

His colour is lighter here because he just woke up. PIG SLEEP SO MUCH!!!

(What I sent my friends haha actually I think I always send them photos of Ed oops)

His "ears" (pectoral fins) are really huge.

Dumbo refers to Dumbo the elephant. I'm not very familiar with that story. Anyway a lot of fish lovers can't decide if they like it or not because it's a new gene and they don't know how it will affect the betta blah blah blah. I don't really care man as long as Ed is happy and alive. 

Anyway I've always judged people who refer to themselves as "mummy" or "daddy" when talking to their pets...but now I understand. 

So I have to say this: I AM THE PROUD MOTHER OF ED.

Ya okay bye.
