On the Agin of A Guy (or how i noe i'm old)

Boobs sag n skin wrinkles..but how do i noe i'm truly beginnin e downward slide to old age? In a flash, i'm less than 2 months from my 22nd birthdae..onli now do i realise dat when i turned 21, i also stopped growin verticalli, physicalli n sexualli...i've begun a long slow slide to bein senile dat will pick up when i'm 30 n sprint when i'm 40..rite now i'm just agin at baby crawl pace..

why e bloody hell am i entertainin such morbid tots? because of a show on TV...wat most pple dun noe bout mi is dat i grew up watchin Chinese serials, not ang mo, English dramas..n when they showed e latest version of (sorry Kumu n my jia-kantang frens) She Diao Ying Siong Zuan (translated as Legend of e Condor Archers) on Ch 8, filmed with China Chinese actors..i realised dat i'm gettin old...i could tell my frens who've not watched it before wat the next scene was n wat had transpired till this point in time in de story...n F(expletive deleted)! i realise dat i hav seen e original 1980s first production of the serial..with Liu De Hua as Guo Jing n Barbara Yong as Huang Rong...back den Mei Chao Feng was dog-damn-ugly, not lao-chio like e current Chinese actress playin her role..

I've seen all e versions of dat show now and can say dat e Singaporean version is DER MOST PAtHETiC n WooDEn!! i've seen e sequel, Sheng Diao Xia Niu (Legend of the Condor Heroes) n other similar era shows like Tian Long Ba Bu (Sky Dragon Eight Steps? sorry, i singapore education system never teach mi translation one) n Yi Tian Tu Long Ji (or Annals of the Sky Sword n Dragon Sabre)..n now they want to show Shui Hu Zhuan (Water Margin)..i read dat book when i was in pri 6..before my command of Chinese failed in my years with der SA...it was my goal after my PSLE to read Hong Lou Meng (A Dream of Red Mansions) before i left primary sch..i failed..Thank God..


wat's e moral of e story? not dun read too many Chinese books..but its dat things change n wat was once new will one day become a memory..like F4 n Westlife now are (hallelujah)..n where Britney Spears will go (praise the Lord)..hmmm, where will dat stupid song "kan dao zhang lang, wo bu pa, bu pa le...ma li ah-hi" be next year? with e Titanic soundtrack?

In "The Five People u meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom, Marguerite tells Eddie dat e improvements to e amusement park make it sound like "somebody else's summer"..e sad truth is dat, increasingly, as we all age, e young inevitably take over n it becomes somebody else's playground...i can onli hope dat by constantly adaptin n movin, i can retain my place in it...wat plans hav you?
