i was sitting at the lrt this morning when i saw this old man enters the train. he sat down opposite me and looked down on the floor throughout the whole journey.

it kept me wondering how it feels like to be of his age. what would i be thinking?

i am now 21. when i was 10, i hope to reach the age of 21 faster because i want to do the things that i am not supposed to do when i was at the age of 10. but now that i am 21, i don't feel anything special.

how will it feel to be 30? worrying about my career? taking loads of work home to do? rushing home to do housework and teach my kids their homework?

how will it feel to be 40? worrying about my face looking wrinkled? my health? my ah boy's health? my kid's health?

how will it feel to be 50? worrying about my kid turning up to be a good person? going overseas to tour? whether i have enough savings for my old age?

how will it feel to be 60? my children spending enough time with me? housing loan due?

how will it feel to be 70? friends around me gone one by one? same as 60? my children soending enough time with me?

how will it feel to be 80? whether i can see tomorrw?

some thoughts for you, readers.
