Right now, Kak Han is listening and singing along to old Malay songs that we used to know. Yes, I still remember the lyrics. After all these years. My God.
Last month, for my birthday, I thought of posting all my past birthday posts, starting from 2005,when I first started posting. Reading them all back, though, I immediately changed my mind. They're horrible! I keep cracking jokes which aren't funny. The problems which I thought were problems weren't that serious. Plus, my paragraphing was terrible, not to mention my sentence structures. I didn't have the guts to show them to the rest of the world (again). No deserves that kind of cruelty - well, no one I know, anyhow.
Still, it was nice to read. I had so much less to do back then. I wouldn't want to go back to the past, because I love where I am now, and I'm looking forward to the present. But reading about my childhood and realising that I'm never going to go through that kind of life again makes me realise that I'm never going to go through this life again, so I'd better start enjoying it while I can. I don't want to grow up to be the kind of person who's forgotten what it's like to be young. Then again, I don't want to be the kind of person who just pines for her youth, either.
Onward!
