anabasis.

as kids you have play dates. (or at least, the americans in my storybooks are all about arranging play dates for children)

when you hit ten, its all about hanging out with your friends.

at fifteen you can go out at night and it morphs into lepak.

reaching twenty you begin to chill.


but what comes after that? getting drinks after work?

and what about people in their mid-thirties or early forties? have a get-together?

after that you're in the tai-tai meeting up for brunch phase.

then what? visiting your friends at their homes because you all go to the same morning exercise thing in your neighborhood?
slowly each person shows up with a maid that your daughter in law stuck onto you?


i dont wanna get old.
