age of 1-5, he/she will be the centre of the attention.
age of 7-16, he/she will be ask how are their results.
age of 17-..., he/she will be ask so what is your ambition and do you have a gf/bf.
The first few times when people ask that question you can still answer it happily but after when you go to every gathering everybody started asking the same question, you will find them very irritating. Even though they don't know each other and they can still ask about the same questions you will think that it must be a universal question. I think that they should invent something more interesting questions to ask and not using back the same old questions :)
I want to watch 2012!
