Alter Ego

27 seems like a very big number-- too old to be my age as of tomorrow. i remember just a few years back, when i read the newspapers about how so-and-so aged 27 did this and that, or how something happened to him, i always thought the person must have been rather old. after all, a 27 year old is in his late twenties.

i think young people ie people in their late teens must think i am very old. at least i used to feel that way about people. sometimes, i still think back about those times in sec school, JC and university like they were just weeks ago.. they definitely dun feel like a decade ago.

i look at pictures taken during the NUS Rag n Flag 2005, and i wonder why the people look so young. was that how i really looked before too? and i always thought i look the same. i dun feel old though, and i dun feel like i am just one day short of being 27. then again, what does a 27 year old feel like? alright, mabbe i am 27, and then next year i'll be 28, then 29 the following year .. blah blah.. but at least, i can take consolation in the fact that yifan will always be 2 years older than me. *grin* phew, i dun feel so bad now.
