Do I look that old... Do I look that young...

Is it true that the crowd that u hang out with influences your appearance or others' perception on ur age?

Let me explain...

This morning, I had breakfast with a couple of frens, Shima and Sab, at the Grand Blue Wave Shah Alam. We have been doing this for may be more than ten years now I think... "We" means me and a few friends, Sabariah, Shima, Aliza and Radziah... and from time to time adalah some other girl friends yg join... and "this" means having breakfast meet about once a month around Shah Alam, either at a restaurant, hotel or each other's house... And I pun sebenarnya tak lah dapat join every month... in fact I think among us, I lah yg selalu ponteng because I used to work on Saturday, and the breakfast meet is normally done on Saturday... but starting this month the organisation that I work for started a trial 6 months period of having a 2-day weekend off... so, hopefully after this I tak lah selalu ponteng lagi ya Sab and Shima (if u two are reading this now)... :)

Anyway, nak ceritanya, something funny happened today after the meet... when we were paying for the breakfast, the cashier asked us "senior citizens ke?"... We looked at each other speechless at first, not knowing what to say... In my heart... "OMG... do I look that old?" But it was Sab who responded first I think, she asked "50 kira senior citizens ke" because Shima just turned 50 a few days ago... And then the cashier explained, "kalau senior citizens, ada 50% discount" and then he must have felt guilty agaknya.. and said "tak pe lah, I give 50% discount jugaklah pada puan"...


Balik rumah I related the incident to my son, and he said... "gila... mana ada mummy nampak tua mcm tu..." but he laughed anyway...

After that we went Carrefour Shah Alam to buy our weekly supply... and this time the cashier, merely a boy who I think is barely 18, may be waiting for his SPM result, called me "kakak"... hahhahaha.. Muaz looked at me and said "see....." lol...

Hahahha... thus why I asked the question at the beginning of this entry... Sab and Shima... jgn marah, I tak kata u two look old, in fact between the 3 of us, I'm the one yg nampak paling tua I think despite the fact that I'm the youngest, in fact I think, physically I ni memang the oldest sebab I yg paling banyak penyakit... :(

I feel so kelakar, within less than 3 hours, I hv been referred to as a senior citizen (by an adult man) and a kakak (by a boy)... which means I have to hang out more with my kids agaknya... hahaha... "Oh no!!!" I think that would be Mia's and Muaz's response... lol...

  1. That's what I thought too - he felt guilty so he gave us the 50% discount, hahaha!!!

    I don't mind claiming to be a senior citizen if that's (the discount) the kind of service I will get :-)..

    In other words - CAN'T wait to be a senior citizen!!
