Aha. 19 also. See Ruixian, you are I are supposed to behave as if we were the same age. However, I guess some of the questions are unfair. Why should a person whose New Year Resolution for 2000 never to drink coffee because it's bad for health actually 1. drink black coffee, or 2. know how to make coffee? (Ok I cheat every now and then and drink a little coffee, but it's even rarer than me eating beef.) I have no car to wash, no lawn to mow. I guess in Singapore you'd have to be really rich to have either/both, and I'm certainly not there yet.
But this one. 'I have realized that no one will take you seriously unless you are over the age of 25 and have a job.' Ahhh... Some people take me seriously although I am above the age of 25 and don't have a job (student not really = job is it?). Maybe you have to be old enough to realise that if you act confidently enough, people tend to take you seriously anyway.
And this is the ultimately impossible one. 'People have said that I act older than I am'. People usually think I am younger than I am. Heehee. Thank goodness for the lack of wrinkles >.<.
