"Oh! You don't look like you are married!"
"Oh! You don't look your age!"
"Oh! You are husband and wife? I thought you both are still dating, you look so young!"
In the last 2 months, I've heard many such comments.
While I'm really dancing wildly with joy and setting off a million fireworks in my heart, I'm also pondering, "Is there really a certain look to say you are married, a certain look to tell your age?"
It's funny how we are all being stereotyped in one way or another, isn't it.
I just celebrated my last 2-x birthday this year (which means I hit the Big 3-O next), and had a lot of people asking me, "Scared or not? Next year 30 already?"
I put some thought into this and (without sounding pretentious) I have to say I'm really not scared, not worried, not wanting to put off and not bothered with this fact.
On the contrary, I'm actually looking forward to it (again, I'm not being pretentious in any way).
Because I'm of the belief that the older a woman gets, the more beautiful she grows, the more confident she becomes, the more 'flavour' she has.

For a start, there's always effort to be put in if you wanna age gracefully.
Auntie Amanda & I went for facial last night.
Looking fresh and glowy after our facial, with no make-up and all naturel.
We went to a vegetarian restuarant (it's not a typo, we had VEGETARIAN food! Auntie coerced me into it).
Lots of good soup is of help to looking good too.
And fruit salad with yam.
Can you imagine that bowl of mock (it's 'fish meat' made of flour and 'tau-kee') fish soup is a 4-pax portion, and we finished everything!
Of cos' Auntie Amanda did most of the eating and drinking (She downs soup by the buckets, which explains why she looks kinda bloated sometimes).
On my way back home, I caught this on camera.
Now ladies, this is really not graceful, regardless of age. Cellulite was visible all over her thighs, which my 2M camera phone failed to capture.
Lesson learnt - Don't flaunt what you don't have.
