its so apt how the mind works..
spent the whole afternoon at New University Town at NUS today, and gosh its so impressive. the infrastructure, the environment.. just totally wow-ed us. Tanky digressed loads, as usual. But at least he was so patient with us, like mr lim, teachers who are really hard to come by these days.
anyway, when i was on my 1.5hour long ride home the playlist on my phone shuffled to Oops I did it Again by Britney Spears and omg all the childhood memories started gushing back :')
I remember how innocent, how hungry we were for fun and joy in life and how worriless life was. I remember having a mass dance session every saturday in the afternoon at home with my two maids and siblings, dancing (was that qualified enough to be called dancing? haha) our asses off, like literally, to Britney Spears, A*Teens, Westlife, Christina Aguilera.. How my siblings and i used to be pseudo house caretakers and build our own house with chairs + blankets + torchlights + babies (those fake doll ones), then make a mess out of everything and piss our maids off hahaha. how we used to have mass cleaning of toilets session, playing with water in the toilet and pretending to be of use, how we used to ensure that our asses were in front of the TV everyday at 5.30pm for the daily dose of HI-5 (omg i miss them!), looking forward to jupjup and chatterbox, then heading down to the garden at 6 to play badminton, play catching till we were soaked and drenched in sweat... then watching hk dramas after hk dramas, sometimes a singaporean one (back in those days sg dramas were still of a considerably good standard). how we used to play scrabble in the middle of the night, or fix jigsaw puzzles together. or those girly things like playing with barbie dolls, immersing in our worlds pretending to role play, prepare for random mini concerts and forcing our maids to sit down and be our audience, or even playing with makeup and being so in awe about correction tapes (i thought they were the coolest things on earth), and trying on my mom's high heels to get a taste of how it felt like to be grown up. :3
haha dont know why my mind drifted to such things but its so sad how we all forget how we felt when we were kids, that carefree and worriless way of life.. how we quarreled over the most trivial things but still look out for each other through ways we'll never admit. cant believe im seventeen and on the way to adulthood it just all seems so scary.
but still no matter the circumstances i'll adhere to a promise i made to myself when i was young, then growing up wont bring me down. :)
hehe. rubbishy language but oh well i felt like i needed to type this somewhere.
right now its back to mugger mode..
