the year 2008

thus i have progressed on,
growing a year older and wiser,
into another episode of my life where new experiences will overwhelm me-
and as i learn how to overcome them.
i have now turned into the age of 17.

in short,
i am like 17 already omg.
how can i be 17?
i don't even look 17.
seriously.
at the restaurant, most of the customers would be like:
"ooh how cute, a young girl."

or,
"don't you have school?"

or,
"sorry my friend and i have this bet, how old are you?"
to which i would dutifully reply "16"
and then the guy would laugh and exclaim "yes i won!"
to which i would feel the sudden strong urge to stuff the water jug over his head,
and then laugh loudly and run away.
(not very 16 yr old ish behaviour, i know)

honestly,
it is kinda sick to bet about a girl's age.
and you may have won the bet,
but you have deflated my ego.
:(

so i have decided;
next time another curious smart-ass comes asking for my age in disbelief,
i would tell them humbly.

"i am a 12 years old child prodigy, that's why.
now.
eat your heart out :) "
