22 = 33

22 December yours truly turned 33.

But I never saw the need to whine about age.. except once when I was denied entrance to a movie theatre to watch my first rated film, Mee Pok Man, because I wasn't 18 yet. Other than that, I think everyone should look forward to being older as we would when we were 17. Age should never matter for anything at all. A 50-yr-old could well be much fitter than I am cos he or she exercises and watches his or her diet better. A 20-year-old could well be more disgruntled than I am because he or she has a much more taxing job to manage. It's really how you perceive life that is important. When I was studying art, I had a lecturer whose got a headful of white hair pulled back in a bun but I always thought of her as the coolest-looking lecturer ever. Thus age should not be an excuse to not look good either. "Presentation" is what's most important (for me at least). So what if we'll be in our thirties, forties, fifties, there should always be something to look forward to. Retirement, grandchildren, even death, what better way to rest (jadi banyak-banyakanlah buat ibadah).
A few days back, I came across this quote:

" I can never feel age...
if you have creative work,
you can never feel age or time "
Louise Nevelson, 1980 (1900-1988)

So I don't know if it has anything to do with my line of work. But what I do know, is to make it a point to look forward to ageing. And perhaps being a blogging granny?
