How old are we really?
Nevermind that silly facebook quiz, who knows I might be an old woman in a 17 year old body. Or a chimp in humanoid form.
HAHA, celebrating Jasmine, Rebecca and Samuel's birthday made me realise one thing: While we (2009 17 year olds) were gloating about having passed the 16 hurdle (access to NC-16 movies yeah!), it appears to be um, not much of a big deal when Jas and Rebs are like, 18 this year.
Sure, as long as you're above 16 in Singapore, you can have consensual sex. 18, commercial sex. Not like I'm encouraging promiscuity or anything, but I guess being trusted with this responsibility makes some us feel all self-important. Like me getting my own laptop! Ho yeah! *cuddles laptop*
Anyway, besides feeling all grown-up and even the Man has given you a say over your own body, question is, being seen as old enough in the eyes of the law ... are we really as old as they would like us to think we are? Well, they've got to generalise. It's culture at work and labelling is ultimately the best way to get around it, along with advisory prevention and protection.
Did I mention how much that ad on the MRT with a pregnant teen girl and what appears to be a trail of blood from her navel creeps me out? Man it gives me the heebie jeebies.
Well, I might be old enough to paint my nails without my mother objecting. Oooh and they're a lovely plum and vermillion. Faceshop.
Back to the point. I'm old enough to paint my nails and so I do. Unfortunately, I'm not skilful enough and I get nail varnish all over my cuticles and finger. Good thing is, for something like that, there's always a nail polish remover and a wad of soft cotton.
As for having had sex, well I guess they have stitch-up surgery if you want your virginity back. Unfortunately for everything else where STDs, unwanted pregnancy, pride, social stigma, trauma (if there's any), any side effects, any regrets... well they haven't invented a remover for that.
Oh and I think German people are real smart. Einstein was German, but he switched sides. Hey, who would've known the top Nazi brains and brilliant minds were
that good? Hitler made sure somebody shot them before they surrendered so nobody could get to the Nazi technology. Mmhmm so they went beyond the V2 rocket. Gotta love em' documentary channels.
So anyway, some of them got away and were scattered across North and South America. Now that's a fact. As for whether the Nazi UFO Conspiracy is true, well, after watching that documentary, I'm starting to lean towards the fact that UFOs might just as well be terrestrial.
Now, I just thank God for the balance. Gosh, can't imagine what would've happened if the Nazis had more time to develop their prototypes. Of course, according to the documentary, the Americans took over and had those developed and then made a cover-up story that UFOs were from outer space.
Techonology's sweet but shit happens if it falls into the wrong hands.
