"I tend to like those old songs nowadays" - Me"You are getting old" - Yuwei, my housemate
"You are really getting old" - Esther
Yes, i am getting old, but I'm only 20 this year, considering another 1 month to 2008 and I will turn 21. People always say, when you are young, you hope that you grow up faster. But that does not happen to me, i hate growing up actually. Call me childish as you may, but i love my childhood.
I have fond memories of my childhood. I enjoy all those memories with my cousins. Playing in the orchard without any adult's watchful eye, cycling for miles just to reach the river n get ourselves wet in the process of catching prawns & fishes, starting a fire just for fun, digging up those wild tapioca, etc etc etc.
I never want to grow up, i will stay in young age forever, can I? As we grow up, I start to understand the norm of society, the restriction. Just imagine, when you are 17 years old, will you still sit on a seesaw without any hesitation?
Then, we will go to school, college and university. Life get so busy, and all of us are far apart in different countries. Communication based solely on the emotionless internet (Msn? YM? Skype?). Sometimes, i feel that the internet is killing our relationship. Evthing is based on words that appear on your screen, nothing more than that.
I want back my childhood, stop the clock please!!!
Ever-childish,
