how is your childhood? i dont remember much of mine because i dont remember playing with my siblings at all. it's not because we are anti-social but our age gap is too huge. when i was still playing toys, they were in upper primary or lower secondary already. so what can i ask for? all i remembered is my kindergarden playmates. the best part was the play time before and after class at the playground near my kindergarden. the most hatred subject was music and my favourite was drawing. the miniature tables and chairs, toilets, drawing boards and wooden blocks. the arguements over the trivial matters among kids, the fun of meeting my friends and the tearing because of those BIG bullies. after my school, i would pester my mum and recount every single event that took place in school. at that time, she was a full time housewife. after that, i would watch TV the whole day and not be bother with my school work. i was so engrossed with TV that my brother nicknamed me "the TV programmer". i knew eactly what shows and the duration of all the programmes then. i was impressive ya?
but looking at the kids of today, i sympathesize them. at a young age, they have to attend pre school. parents start to look for tutors in fear that their kids would not score well in their studies and sign them up for enrichment classes like music without knowing their interest first. why does thing change so much within a few years?
i shall be glad that i have my parents. they dont really bother me with my studies. they allow me to take responsibility in my own learning, together with their occasional guidance along the way. they dont force anything upon me although sometimes i disapprove their way of bringing the 3 of us up. i need to start to appreciate the simple things in life - my parents, my friends, an inspiring song, and even a smile from a stranger.
"simple blessings"
