Fear #1
Ageing.
This ten top list thingy is in no order of fear yar. I jus put down watever that comes to my mind first.
The mere thought of a new year makes me shudder.
For many, it means a fresh new begining, and many new happy moments to look forward to.
For me, i simply dread it.
A new year means a year older. And more wrinkles. And drier skin. And less soft skin.
A few months back, I saw a woman on the train. I was sitting down, and she stood in front of me. Because my head was bent down, I saw her hands first, before any other body parts. Just from her hands, I could tell her age. Probably someone in her mid thirties, i thought to myself.
Then, the world momentarily stopped. One day, a 20 yr old girl will b sitting on the train, i will be standing in front of her, and she will be concluding my age jus based on how my hands looked! *gasp*
These days, or rather, months, I have been scrutinising my skin.. my face.. constantly on the lookout for signs of ageing. And i seem to be able to find those signs real easy!
I never understood why women are so scared to reveal their age. Guess I know now..
Nowadays, when people ask me, 'how old are you?'
I wont tell them, I would say, 'Guess leh.'
If they guessed 20, or more, I'lll be mighty sad. But if they say i look 19, I'll be over the moon!! You might say, 'It's only one yr diff wat, got diff meh?'
YES THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!!!
20 starts with a 2, 19 starts with a freaking 1!
19 means i'm still quite young, naive and of course, i look younger.
20 jus means i'm on the road to wrinkles. And the road to wrinkles is very smoothsailing one, i assure all of you.
'There's no ugly women, but only lazy women'
And i'm one real lazy woman. NO, i mean i'm one real lazy GIRL.
I see wrinkles everywhere, everyday.
I really fear ageing. And the worst thing is, I'm not doing anything to stop it.
Somebody help me!

Hi, Honey. I understand your fear. Luckily, I'm in my 30's and
am told all the time how young I
look. I tell people I have an
11 year old boy and they invariably say I'm too young to have a child that age. Start protecting your skin now from the sun, and there are very fantastic and expensive skin products out there that also helps your skin to stay young looking. I started as a teenager training myself to not use my forehead muscles. I still have no forehead wrinkles in comparison to girls half my age. So, take heart and take care
of your body now while you're young. An astute observor would notice that my I do have a very real fear of wrinkels, but in an age where older people are discriminated against in the job market (and most of us won't have enough money to retire on), who could blame me? Love ya.
