How old are you?

'Someone' just got me all confused over how old I am!!

For as long as I live..calculating how old am I is as simple as 2009 minus 1973 ..
and that equals 36!

This 'someone' insisted that it should be one more additional year. I think that is the Chinese way..for some reasons..my old aunts will always insist that I am an addtional yr older. That I can accept..but not from someone in my era.

Somemore..she asked me to calculate manually...what??

Like this wor..using her age as example:

..1975 to 1984 is 10 years
..1985 to 1994 is another 10 years
..1998-2004 is another 10 years
..2005-2009 is 5 years.

so..she concluded she is 35! instead of 34???

I was like..wth?? Already..these days..I think I've lost 3/4 of my brain cells....this can't be correct even if I only have 1/4 brain cells left.

So...the last part of our argument went like this:

ME: 2009-2005 is 4
SHE: use your finger to count .. 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 ... FIVE wat

ME: 2005-2006 is 1 ...2006-2007 = another 1..2007-2008 = another 1

and SHE went...


hahah ... yeah hor
meaning I am only 34 meh ... so young?
