3 DAYS BEFORE I TURN 18!!!

Only 3 days to go before I reach my legal age to drown myself in alcoholic drinks, choked myself with nicotine in cigarettes and squander all my family's wealth in one of those Singapore Pools' outlets.

Alternatively, I can also freak myself to death by watching Hannibal at Golden Village.

What should I do when I turn 18?

What would YOU do when you turn 18?

Buy Vodka from 7-Eleven? Bet on your birthdate or the last 4 digits of your NRIC with Singapore Pools? Attempt a ouff of Marlboro?

I reckon that the first M-18 thing I would do is to buy 4D.

How atypical of a JC teenager, to engage himself in such heartlander's activity. Shouldn't I assimilate into the mainstream culture and do what a normal JC/Poly teenager would normally do when he or she turns 18?

I guess this is what that makes me unique -- an elite teenager studying in an environment that breeds and values elitism, but his heart belongs to the colloquial heartlanders.

身体行尸走肉般在上流社会里敷衍着，心灵紧紧惦记着属于真正的自我的草根甘榜。

我仍然只是个平民。

A little nervous about B-Day. All the prolonged, accumulated anticipation and excitement for the arrival of the big day is now haunting me instead. As much as I want my birthday to arrive as soon as possible, I am worried.

With liberty, freedom and power comes a great deal of responsibilities that i have to shoulder and expectations that I have to fulfil.

I am apprehensive about stepping into adulthood. As much as the lure of all the social benefits i get to enjoywhen i turn 18 is irresistible, I would still want to lead my carefree childish days, in which all that I have to worry about is just academics. I don't think I am ready to be called an "adult", yet.

The path to turning 18 is a one-way path with no turning back. As soon as you step into adulthood, you are prohibited from reminiscing your childish days. You are expected to give up all the memories that you used to possess and start afresh.

It's cruel. And I find it far too demanding.

I still want to be a child.

And my days as a child are numbered.

Only 3 more days to go.
