Age Don't Lie

I guess best friends never lie. I have a lot of best friends, unfortunately since it doesn't make any of them feel as special as I want them to, and 'especially' these four of them have been able to point out the oblivious fact of mine. Ali, Jen, Alex and Zhe find so much comfort in calling me 'old'. They laughed during the part during Med Revue 2009 where I had to say the line "I'm only twenty five".

Kat was online today on facebook and I had a nice chat with her. I know she's gorgeous but I never knew she was so friendly to me, given the times we both had was either drunk or .. hmm scratch that... it's only drunk. I mean, come on, I love this woman cos she makes the best cocktails. But then, today I found out she is quite a true friend. Time is one of the main factors that I always look out for when I have to choose who my real friends are. Those who can give me a lot of time seems to outshine a lot of those who couldn't. Chatting with Kat today made me feel somewhat pretty relieved and quite homesick, knowing that Sydney, in fact, is one of my 'to be' home. Seriously, there's no law against having too many homes. As part of our conversation, she mentioned how young I look. Now, I know we, Asians, all look younger than we are before we hit the big four zero and WHAM we look like the laughing skeletonhead from "Tales from the Crypt" once it passes. We age slow before forty but it's 'bunnies on aphrodisiac' after that. Opposing this, most Caucasians age quick. You could tell how they're gonna look like at the age of thirty just by looking at a baby's face at times. But, that face stays on til they hit the Pearly Gates. Yes, as I was saying, it's quite normal for a Caucasian lady to call me 'young' but this is Kat, whose friend's boyfriend is Asian and quite often hangs out with Asian gay men or even boys. So, I was quite honored and on cloud nine most of the time.

UNTIL when I went to the DVD rental store, I ran into this old man who ALWAYS stays at the entrance. I talked to him today. Well, normally I would say 'hi' and 'bye' and chuck him a 'hey I saw you yesterday' smile. Today, I just felt like conversing and I even gave him one of my cigarettes (sorry guys I am smoking again). Normally, when a person is flourished with gifts, they would wanna repay the debt by any means. I mean, Julius Caesar knew a good shaggin' was involved on the list of 'repay's when he offered Cleopatra gifts. There's always a 'hey you owe me something' behind a handshake. I am not talking about a major big huge repay to every good little things but like we all do feel the need to do something nice. So, what did the old man do? He asked me if I were forty. I choked. I gave him a 'are you serious' look. He then said how he was ninety years old and he asked me if I were forty again. Twice. This man was serious. I said I haven't hit the thirties. He, then, gave me this 'Are you sure I am hearing things right' look. Then, I gave him a 'DUH I wouldn't have miscalculated my age by a decade' look. He laughed and I gave him a weak chuckle. I wasn't offended but it made me think if I, in fact, look that old. Forty? Holy shit.... that's when I should be planting tomatoes at the back of my barn.

'Stalker updates'wise, the dude I gave a message to turned out not to be the guy I was looking for. So, I was having a 'ah well I did try' moment until something hit me to look for his name on facebook again but with the original spelling of the name I first thought of. Yes, the one that gave me this German chick and someone from somewhere I've never heard of. If you think 'miracles' were overrated, it was that point when I feel like Michael J Fox shaking. I FINALLY found the dude. Well, I wouldn't say it's him but I did message him asking if it was him. They say 'to smell something fishy' is when you notice something suspicious but this was different. I don't really smell any fish tacos here. I mean, his profile was new and there was only one friend on it. Why would a guy ask me to add him on his new account? Especially when he was the one to convince me for this addage? If I have to think optimistically about it, chances are he made that account cos he didn't wanna put a gay guy that he is attracted to on his 'normal' profile. I mean, he might have another profile with his parents or siblings on it. But then again, as Hein would do, I'm overcalculating this and I kinda doubt that's what's happening. More stories on this guy soon, I promise.

I have reached the point where I'm not actually afraid of my brother in law for possible shithouse that could happen in the future. There is only one person who I should fear the most... my sister.
