i was told by someone dear to my heart to act my age. i wasn't really sure about it; clothing wise? personality wise? attitude?

i remember about a decade ago when i went out to a dinner party at Polo Club with my brother, Darussani. his co-worker approached me and said "where do you work?" i was stunned! i couldn't remember what i replied to her or maybe i didn't reply at all. c'mon i was still in primary school!! and i was not even primary 6 yet!!! gosh, i know it was not that lady's fault but my self-efficacy just dropped to zero. that incident is still crystal clear in my mind. the big question was, what makes her ask me that kind of question at the first place? was it because of my attire? the way i look? was i 11 pretending to be 21? it is interesting when i think about it again.

so, now that i am 21 it should be no problem for me to act my age because i used to look this age a decade ago. my sisters told me before that i was growing up too soon; eager to blend in with them. my better half said basically the same thing that i wore adult clothings when i should enjoy wearing teenage outfits. the funny thing is, when i am 20-21 years old, i just started enjoying being a teenage, abit too late i suppose. when people told me i look couple of years younger, it excites me. c'mon!!! all my life people look at me as an old woman when i was just a kid. even Arifin thought that i was an adult when he first layed his eyes on me. so of course i was flattered when people said i look 'younger' now with my current style - teenage vibe.

last night, after thinking back the excitement i felt; shopping for blouses, branded bag, something came across my mind. i am gradually acting my age. now, i have all the reason to wear adult tops, big bags, looking professional. furthermore, i do feel comfortable about it. i even have less interest on going into sport stores. not that i am not interested in sports just not feel like buying sport tops and pants since i have a cuboard full in my room. i like buying smart pants, looking at them; buying blouses, dresses... such a wonderful feeling i felt inside. so this is how it feels like; acting our own age. it feels so right. i can finally fit in nicely in my own age group.
