Signs of “Oxidization”

I realized my housemate aka my roommate is reaching his senior citizen stage when:

  • He took a long time to reply my “Words with Friends” (scrabble game) on iPhone and ended up having to play the game on computer coz he couldn’t see the tiny words on his mobile phone screen :D
  • When outsider referred him as “father” to one of our 29 YO friend (my roommate was very upset for a long time :D).
  • Searching high and low for his missing car key at home, couldn’t find it.  Ended up had to use spare key to drive his car.  One hour later he found out the car key was actually in his pocket.
  • The worst case of all was that he kept looking for his cigarette everywhere while the cigarette was already stuck in his mouth.  He only realized it when he tried sticking the 2nd stick of cigarette in. :D

I am trying to console him to think positive:

  • In a couple of years’ time, he can partially withdraw his EPF money for investment.
  • Very soon he can use the “express lane” service for senior citizens at certain counters.
  • Think of all the senior citizen discounts – big saver :).
 
Not too bad after all :D.

Age "perfectly"? :D
