On the way home, I managed to grab a seat in the after-hours packed bus. An elderly couple sat right opposite me, and I started thinking..I wonder when I'm as old as this, will I have my old man beside me? In forty years will there me more couples in the streets, shopping and spending time together? They'd all be my generation people! Would we have learnt to love and stick together or would most of us just divorce or stay single?
This afternoon an english customer asked me what I would like to see in ten years down the road. It was such a random question, but i didnt' get to answer. I think I wanna see more love, less violence, more laughter. And probably there'd be techno-savvy old ppl? Haha. My colleague was lamenting its so hard for her to learn how to use the com just that day. THen i wondered what gadget I'd have trouble catching up with in futre when I'm like, a grandma? Hmm. Endless possiblities.
I couldn't help but envision my looks in the glass behind the old lady. How'd I look like old? All the lost collagen and estrogen.. I hope i don't turn into the naggy, nitpicking, stingy kinda old woman, those who get upset at every cent lost to an unsuccessful bargain. I hope i look like a cheery smily gramma, even if i have crowfeet! And I hope I get a cheery old man as my lifepartner.. no need for any romance at that age already, just someone I can talk to the ends of the world with, to snuggle with and someone to make me hot tea when I'm cold.
Hell. I'll just wait for my Mathew McConaughey to come. :)
