Recently, while in the lift with le sis, we met a neighbour she was acquainted with. It was a weekday night, so I was in office attire and she was wearing the Singaporean tertiary school uniform (t-shirt, shorts, slippers). The neighbour stared hard at both of us and went "who's the older one?". Le sis responded that I was. To that, the neighbour blinked and then went "ohhhhh, but you're twins right?"
For those who don't know, my sis is a good 4 years younger than I am ;) The above situation is also v common.
Then at the IT fair yesterday (where I was scouring for a new laptop), there was this salesman. Clearly I look like I've just finished my O levels, coz he asked if I was buying a laptop in time for poly to start. Or it could be that he was being exceedingly polite. So I shook my head slightly and he corrected himself: "Oh, starting uni?".
The attire probably played a part -- t-shirt, shorts, slippers FTW.
So it seems, school hasn't left me yet. Or maybe adulthood hasn't found me yet xD
In any case, I don't mind!
Did you find that new laptop?
ReplyDeleteYes I did! :D
