‘Aunty! Can you help me?’
‘Auntie! Auntie!’ I did not know the little boy was referring to me. I had got so used to being addressed as jie jie.. I refused to admit I am AUNTIE!
Sianz. Fact is I have a nephew that calls me Gu gu now. Jeepers. This blog should be interesting for someone who is a lot younger than me for this will be a checklist for you when you reach my age.
Somehow I didn’t like to club anymore. I get tired easily and I doze off by midnight. I am not the least interested what is the latest chat interface and I am still happy with my MSN. Oh yah.. someone sent me some video in my testimonial and I preferred to keep my frenster simple. Thus, I did not approve it. No shoutouts. No MTVs, No fanciful speeches or any funny gadgets. Just a simple platform to keep my frens in.
Recently a friend of mine emailed me and requested for me to change the template and background colour of my blog. She said she loves to read my blogs but the fonts were too small and the colours’ too contrasting. My reply to her was " I am a writer! not a designer. By the way, how do you put pictures and change the fonts?"
Somehow as much as I would like to stay ‘hip’, I am starting to change without me realising. I used to dislike pearls and I only tied my pony tail high up in the sky. Somehow the pony tail just got lower and I actually love pearls! Yes I finally took out a set of real pretty pearls my mum gave to me when i was 16 and many had commented that these pearls made me look more ladylike.
I never could understand why women can buy so many pairs of shoes when they only have a pair of feet. Now my shoes are piling up to match my dresses. I could wear a cute panty with a tee-shirt bra of another colour. Lace was a taboo becoz it WAS very AUNTIE! Somehow now you buy lacey bras and panties and they got to be matching. Oh well..
Auntie signs? I think staying hip takes an effort. haha.. an unnatural effort. I met an old auntie who’s 74 and she spots reddish dyed hair with very stylish specs. Just to add she is very slim and wore a long gold coloured chain- not the ah beng sort but those that are in trend now. She is a bit slow in her reaction but definitely fast to react to ‘fashion’ in her own sense. She takes a while to register what you’re saying and replies in a retarded way.
‘How old are you?’ she asked. Obviously I asked her to make a guess and she popped a ‘22!’. I then replied "I am 26!"
She pulled a straight face, raised her eyebrow a little, after waiting 5 seconds or more, she suddenly shouted! ‘So childish! You don’t look your age.’
I turned to my sweetheart and lamented ‘Auntie sitting next to me says I am childish.’ I did not know how to react. He did not too. He just laughed and said ‘I don’t know what to say.’
I seriously did not know if I should cry or laugh.
AUNTIE! HELP!
