twenty-two
I read a passage from a book yesterday which perfectly describes why we should be glad about growing up and growing old.
Mrs Foster: “Do you think, you could just think about the truth and not say it quite so often?”
Correy’s grandma: “I don’t think so.”
Mrs Foster: “why not?”
Correy’s grandma: “I’m seventy-one years old. I don’t think I should waste any more of my time on words that don’t mean anything. Besides, at my age, I’m allowed to be eccentric.”
I’m far from the age of 71 but the words strike a chord inside me. What’s so nice bout growing old everyday is that small things just get smaller and smaller. You are free to heck-care bout people’s thoughts and what people say or what you think they are saying and am free to do things the way you deem best.
I received a birthday present today. When I first opened it, I really thought it was a series of ‘ten ways on how to shoot a blade of grass’ which I still want to know. Lol… Thanks for the present, I like it very much. =)

I can teach you how to shoot a blade of grass if you want.... Just come to malaysia, where there's "real" grass (i mean, real, long, weeds, not those grass they plant to cover up the earth).
It can go really far, and it's quite fun!
Haha, the joke was on '10 ways on how to shoot a blade of grass (the grass they plant to cover up the earth).
It would have been less funny if it was '10 ways on how to shoot a blade of grass (the real, long weed variety) which is easier to photograph.
