steamboat


had steamboat on monday. its my brother birthday. i didn't knew it until i saw a cake. haha.

steamboat was good. had some ppl came over.
hearing the older generation talked about kampong life is so funny.
catching fishes, playing marbles, disturbing ppl when slping, flying kite.
its all childhood memories.

i still remember mine. i had these 2 neighbours. we often play together whenever we have time. play fake cooking, play see-saw, building sand castle, climbing up the playground.
how often we met one another. how we used to disturb one another.

it was fun, but slowly after we moved hse, i lost that kind of fun. it was kinda sad. and i lost contact with one of my childhood friend. her name is cai ling. if anyone got a friend name cai ling who live in marsiling blk 206 last time, pls let me know. haha

ok. back to topic

now its so hard to find childhood memories
look at the children now. they began to study when they are like 4yrs old.
i'm fine with kids studying at such young age, but the parents now the best out of their child.
feeding the child with all the information that the parents want.
its harsh on the kids/child.
they like had to go for so much enrichment class.

can anyone still find sandy playground in neighbour area?
can anyone still go to drains and catch fish, tapoles?
Does kids play marbles now?
Does kids play block catching now?
Does kids still fly kites now?
Does kids catch spiders now?

maybe there are some kids who still do these things now. who knows?
i wish i had more time to do all these things when i was small.
