You must be wondering if I'm schizo or something. Don't worry, I'm not suggesting that you role-play either (you can do all that kinky stuff in the privacy of your own home!). My Social Psych tutor asked us to list down the different roles that we play in our daily lives. At that time, I didn't write anything down .. I was late and trying to get myself organized, you know fishing out stationery and stuff like that while pretending to be paying attention because I was seated right under her nose (the price you pay for tardiness). But let's see ...

I am a:

- wife

- mother

- daughter

- sister

- slave to my job

- part time babysitter (this usually happens between 6.30pm to 6.45pm daily)

- shopping partner

- friend

- blog junkie

- aspiring cook (like real!)

- oh ... did I forget student

I think the list can go on depending on my current situation in life. It's pretty interesting isn't it, that we have the capacity and the capability to play so many different roles and become so many different people. Are you always the same person no matter who you are with? I suppose not. I don't think I can be the same with the Big Boss as I am with my friends. It's no wonder that I get so tired everyday trying to be different people.

This actually got me thinking. I feel like the same person inside today as when I was eighteen. Yup, I've grown fatter and sprouted several white hairs but I feel essentially the same. In our teens we all thought that anyone beyond thirty was WAY OLD. But here we are now, but do we, the aged over thirty people, feel any older inside? Maybe the way we perceive the world has changed, you could say our thinking has matured, but a lot of things stay the same. Am I sounding crazy here? Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person who feels this way.

So who am I right now? A part time blogger cum student who's procastinating on finishing her Social Psych assignment (that's why I'm talking a whole load of crap!).

Me! Me! I also feel the same! But somehow, I cannot articulate that coz people, especially my mak, expects me to grow up and gleefully shoulder on responsibility that on any given day, i'd have neither time nor inclination to. I tell you, like my past birthday, my mak said, dah 33, perangai tu berubah, jangan macam budak budak.... Boleh gitu?

Heh, heh ... of course we are RESPONSIBLE people now, most of the time anyway but I mean it's okay to feel YOUNG and VIBRANT inside rite rather than OLD and HAGGARD!
