tagged!!
haha, yes, i've been tagged by my dear friend. woohoo! finally getting to doing something productive =P . ( minus the minutes that i've postponed for like 2-3 weeks..hmm..that's another story for another time. ) in the meanwhile, i shall immerse myself in nostalgia. mmm..the sweet fragrance of childhood. lolz. getting crazy, i am.
lemme see, 5 things that i miss about my childhood...
* ps. by the way, what defines childhood? i feel like such a kid sometimes. ( yes, even though i constantly whine about being old. )
anywayz, shall get started, lest we get all philosophical ( or when i start revealing what i don't know instead of what i think i do.) what am i saying.
1. missed being moved up to the next standard in school in whole classes. ( ie. the same class moves with you in primary one and two etc) making friends wasn't that much of an issue then. everyone knew each other, and there was no hassle of making friends all over again every year. ( or for that matter, every semester- which is about 3 months long). friendships made lasted much longer and were ' stronger' in a sense. i mean, how many of us can honestly say that we've made a totally 'best friend' and close one in uni? it's not impossible i guess, but nevertheless, the experiences shared with friends in our 'days of yore' were definitely different from what they are of today in an academic institution.while we were young, we bonded over recess breaks, playing hopscotch, exchanging stickers- ah, the simple pleasures. today, almost a decade later, bonding through a common phase of academic suffering seems to be the only reason that brings people together. ( or at least initially). perhaps i'm just lazy and highly antisocial, but oh well. feel that the simple things which formed friendships while we were kids are just things that will never returm. i mean, we can't forgo all our experiences that we've gone through all these years, cause they've made us who we are. yet, the innocence, sadly, can never be brought back. sigh, a double-edged thing aging is. haha.
2. missed the " very good" or " excellent" remarks made by teachers in school; and the little nuggets of wisdom and encouragement when they would make us write journals.
somehow lecturers tend to forget that everyone craves a little 'praise'. haa. ok, i mean , i would be happy to get an 'A' for something, who wouldn't? maybe it's the extra effort made to actually write stuff on your paper. sometimes one gets marked scripts back with a few ticks and finally, a grade or a score. sometimes its nice to know that your teacher cares for you ( or at least appears to) hm..i realize i am sounding like a person with a hopelessly low level of self esteem. opps.
oh yea. the journals. really missed being able to just voice out my thoughts and get replies from someone in writing. thought it was pretty cool. still think it is. anyone wants to comment? haa
3. missed being ignorant about stuff around me and getting away with it. says alot of how much i actually know yar? =P must I really know more as i age? it gets depressing. haa.
4. miss my music teacher i had till sec 3. she's the only one who made music enjoyable; one who was extra patient. miss playing all those classical pieces too. fingers getting fat and stiff now. sigh.
5. sorta miss the wind blowing in my face while taking the SBS buses. most of them were non-conditioned then. ( not that i don't appreciate cool air =P) but , you know.
this is another point actually , but quite a major one i think. I miss not having to bother about what i'm wearing before i go out. just grab the t-shirt and shorts on the top of my folded stack of clothes and sling a bag over my shoulders, and i'm done! ( regardless of wherever i would be gg). who cared about looking o-biang with shorts and long socks or anything like that? we were kids. oh yea. no money woes too! haa.
Most of all, missed the big and cheesy smile i used to make in front of the camera. don't think i can do that now. thought i looked pretty cute. ahem. haaa. just kidding.
yupz, that's all. think i've written like a gazillion stuff in there! but no worries, the next 2 i tag can just stick to 5! =)
