    When you go to a restaurant and before you take a seat, you examine where the air vents are cause wind blown directly to the head is know to give 'wind' and give headaches at night. (I usually take that seat for my in-laws with a smile as I'm often afraid of the heat)

    Where you wipe every single drip of water off you after a rain cause wet and AC equals catching a cold for sure. Letting water dry naturally is also known to absorb into the skin and haunt you in your elder years with bone and joint aches.

    When you're super mentally strong and willing to work/sit at your desk in front of the computer for 15 hours straight while being unwilling to take any physical stress such as walking up a flight of stairs (if forced to, show a face of dissatisfaction like God owes you big time for you going through this).

    Finds TVB's crap-fest to be exciting and enticing.

    When your only talent involves either using a DSLR, joystick, keyboard, mouse or phone.

    You're a single woman who gather with other single woman and post your weekly gatherings and dinners on Facebook to let others know you're living a full and happy life despite being single at your 30's.

    Where you spend half the time saying how cold the winter and it's blistering wind is. As well as asking your colleagues, aren't you cold and do you need a jacket?

    When your impression of shaking hands is like the art of handling tofu.

    Where eye contact in public is considered sexual harassment!

    these women are actually in their 40's, just hiding behind their hello kitty mask.

    When the check comes at a restaurant and you and your 5 friends dive for your mobile phone calculators to split the bill to the nearest cent

    ( I saw a guy trying to stop his hair getting wet by putting a flannel on his head here once).

    When you're knocking down women, children, elderly and disabled to get onto MTR / or MTR platform lift.

    When you've developed muscle atrophy from complete lack of physical activity to the point that you can't possibly open a door.

    When you're skreaming "See Gay, Baasi Jaam yow lok, m'goy!" on the mini bus.

    When you go to Ocean Park on the weekends to see the pandas and buy fried octopuss as delicious snack.

    When you ask your friends if they want to "Yum Cha"

    When you're playing Candy Crush in public with sound turned up as loud as your phone will go!

    And finally...when you realize you're a Kidult!

    When you outrun the weak, frail, people with large packages and women with small kids and carriages to the elevator at the MTR.
