Wisdom is Boring

Ooohh.. trying to consistently update this blog is hard. It's probably the getting older. Because as you age, you reprioritize.

• Clearing your in-tray before trying to update your blog (just making my point).
  
• Getting clothes from the dry cleaners are now more important than going to see a movie.
• Buying shoes are now less important (blasphemy!) than making sure you don't double book yourself for two Ministry events/stuff at the same time.
• Not picking up phone calls is now a hanging offense (it wasn't before, I only picked up calls when I felt like it).
• Hanging out with real flesh and blood friends in real time over real food trumps updating whatever networking-website accounts and/or chatting online.
• Calls over SMSes.
• No more late night live football matches on work nights, sleep is essential to sanity.
  
• Finishing the meeting's minute in 3 days beats going home at 6pm for the weekly Scrabble/Boogle/Monopoly/Risk/Congkak session with family (however painful).
• Making sure you have the car is refueled every Sunday evening is definitely more important than going to that promising warehouse sale.
• Paying all your bills before the 4th every month including this month regardless how tempted you want to buy that stupid iTouch on discount.
• Buying handbags for storage space than only consider how good it looks on me.
• Owning black court shoes (I hate myself).
  
• Paying premium price for good food at a good place.
• Making sure you're never out of phone credit at all time.
• Making sure your shoes and your handbags match (I used just to rebel it out).
  
• Buying that RM300 baju kurung batik over the divine RM100 casual sun dress (groan).
  
• And ultimately, in bed by 10.30 pm is effing wajib okay? Nothing tops that, however pathetic/lame it may make me sound.

I suddenly realized that at least 3 items on the list makes me more..uncool. Dammit, I heard that getting old sucks. Now, this proves it. I'm off to listen to 'N SYNC (sad attempt to rejuvenate one's hipness. Wait, 'N SYNC is no longer cool? What? What do you mean that 'N SYNC was sadly never cool? The hell you say.. Fark it lah. I give up. So, I'm afraid I am now what I've always feared to be, a boring adult. What the hell lah. So what. I'm off to do my tax return..)
