i've just realised that we're very very small people. i mean, not just us, the entire singaporean population. give or take the few abnormal ones. not that abnormal isn't good. in this case, it is.
anyway, i was watching tee-vee when BAM! it hit me. when we(i mean, mostly me) look at white people, i can't tell their age. it's impossible to compare them to asian standards. for example, i was thinking of fantasia. i would neve have known she was still 19 or twenty when i looked at her. she looks at least 24.
and me.
i look too young. my family (minus the ever-absent brother) and i went to a restaurant at the berjaya times square hotel. quite posh, actually. around RM65 per adult for the buffet alone. minus the drinks. RM35 for children below 12. we went there to celebrate my FOURTEENTH birthday. and guess what.
when we looked at the receipt, it seemed that they'd charge me RM35. which means they see me as a kid. below 12. not good.
i don't think i look 12. do you? and worse. BELOW 12. worse than looking 12. means they see me as an adolescent. and which bay would use that word, huh?
hahah. i'm getting into such a huff over such a small matter. i mean, it's not such a big deal, is it, if people see you as an 11 year old when you're a good 3 years older than that. HUMPH!
hee hee hee. :>
