As days went by, months followed, & a year follows soon after. On a special occasian of the year we'll be flooded with well-wishing texts msgs, reminding us of our age. I was pretty immune to the age reminder till late. But sadly nowadays when my parents or myslf recieve these sandalwood bordered envelopes(weddin invitations), I cant help but this nasty age factor creeps into ma head. All these courtesy to my mom. & also some to my cousins who're planning to get married. 1 of em is abt to get engaged & the other R.O.M. Well thats so soon but gd for them. I dunno which part of me fooled my mom to think I've got a steady boyfren (its Poor mom, NOT ME), she would all of a sudden mention I shul leave the hse & start my own...(ITs poor ME this time)
AaRgh! Well she did mention with care & concern... LoL! In a funny cracker mood, I told myslf that I think i shul have some concerns for the man i get hitched to..The following were some of the reasons I came up with thinkin me getting married might close his life!!!
1st, the Hospital I was born, its no longer here...Toa Payoh hospital, heard of it any1?
2nd, the Kindergarden, in HENDERSON that I frolicked to...Gone to dust, to make way for new housings.
3rd, Primary school...its JAgoH Primary ( NOT CORN eh) Now all empty & I can clearly see this Golf Course behind it. FINALLY!!!
4th, St Teresa's High. Though the Reverend Tang swindle money from the St Teresa Church, apparently he couldn't swipe anythin from this school. Cos the school was barely self-sufficient & had to be closed down before he could try his luck! Or maybe he was the reason for its closure... Hmph ...hmph...
5th, After St Teresa, I went to the most Dreaded St Thomas...sorry folks(BUT i vowed in Pri sch that I'll neva go thr, but i Did). Hmm The Ulu greyed sch was too deserted....ITs out & away...its no more too
6th, MY jinx got a bit better. The Building & Real Estate Diploma i took, changed to Real EState Business on the year I left.Phew! See! Its not a full closure, but the "building" got "renovated" to BUSINESS
7th, the first football team I went, Tampines Rovers 1951, disbanded due to "old" age. When the management made the news known to players, he announced on my birthday. Aargh!
GOD is Smart & GREAT isnt he...Luckily I wasnt Born A MALE...IMAGINE The plight of Singapore IF I'd SErvEd NATIONAL SERVICE...
Hey Momsie, Even though no ppl were "closed" in my sad story, what if some twists & curls take place? This time it could be my "Poor Partner". Do I SOUND LIKE SUMIKO TAN& her excuses in the Sunday times?
