If Only I could Rewind The Time...

I wish I had never grown up. It’s just too sudden. It feels as if it was only yesterday that when I had no worries. I could look back and have no regrets. I didn't feel as if I had to satisfy someone for it to be okay to be me. Life is full of responsibilities. Homework. Fights. Grades. When I was little, the future was so far away I didn't give a damn about what I wanted to be when I grew up. I still laugh at the crazy stuff I did when I was younger. I remember the old cartoons I used to laugh my butt off, the times when I get scolded by my mum when I stayed up passed nine o'clock. If only I had a remote control for life. I would go back to the good times, forward the sad times, re-live the awesome times, and pause the moments that are slipping through my fingers. But time won’t stop. Time waits for no one. That’s what memories are for.

A Visit To The Dentist

Last week, I accompanied my cousin brother to the dentist to get his braces checked. We had to wait for half an hour even though we reached earlier than the allocated time given to us. My cousin brother waited patiently but nervously for his turn. When his name was called, he nervously walked into the dentist room and sat on the dentist seat. The nurse then gave him a pair of goggles to protect his eyes from the braces check. With his itchy hands, he took the goggles and wore it several times repeatedly. It was funny seeing him doing that which made him look as though that was his first time seeing and wearing a pair of goggles. 

The Awesome Ones

Friendship is one of the most precious gifts of life. A person who has true friends in life is lucky enough. Friendship makes life thrilling. It makes life sweet and pleasant experience. Friendship is indeed, an asset in life. It can lead us to success or to doom. It all depends on how we choose our friends. True friendship is a feeling of love, sharing and caring. It is a feeling that someone understands and appreciates you as you are, without any exaggeration, flattery and pretensions It gives a feeling that you are ‘wanted’ and that you are ‘someone’ and not a faceless being in the crowd. A true friend stands by you through thick and thin. True friendship knows no boundaries, creed and race. Good friends are great pillars of life. They help us to stand tall and erect in life.

My Most Favourite Ones

I just love being with babies and children. It instantly turns my worst day to a brighter one, whenever I see a baby smile. I personally think that babies are the best gifts by God. I love seeing them smile with their mouth wide opened, how they laugh and how they communicate to us with their 'baby' language. Last weekend, I went to one of my neighbour child’s birthday who celebrated her 2nd Birthday. Her parents invited all of her friends over for the celebration as well. In one of her friend, there was a shy boy. The only thing he did was to shake his head up and down or sideways when a question was asked to him and would stay still at the same position. But the rest where the opposite, they were jumping everywhere, and were making so much of noise. Seeing them enjoying themselves and being happy, made me happy too. At the end of the day, not only the kids who had a great time, but me too.

Going Traditional

Traditional costumes are peculiar to or characteristic of a certain nation or ethnic group, which usually retains strong elements of the culture from which it originates. Where Western fashions have become usual, traditional costumes are often worn in connection with special events and celebrations, particularly those connected with cultural traditions, heritage, or pride. I realized that traditional costumes have never lost their meaning. This is one of my favourite Punjabi suites which was tailored in Malaysia. It is in cream and mint green in colour with beads in it. Even though it might look simple, I think that the details given to the suite gives it a rich look. I just love dressing up traditionally.

How Technology Affects Us...

Today we are constantly immersed in technological advancements that promote non stop communication and instant gratification whether through hand phones, laptops or iPods. I believe that the growth of technology has negative influenced the social interactions of us because it isolates individuals from reality, hinders communication and perpetuates the concept of immediate satisfaction.

The iPod is one example. By putting in the ear buds and immersing ourselves in the music while in public, we are disconnecting ourselves from the real world. Technology also hinders personal communication, which negatively impacts our age group. Therefore, we must learn to embrace technology without allowing it to negatively impact the creation of functional adults in the society.

The precious one

I believe that time is the most precious thing a person can have. Yes, family, friends, nature, there is an endless list of precious things out there. Little do most people know that none of these things would matter, without time. To some people, it’s just a clock. Time to me is expensive, even though it is free. It is something that should never be taken for granted. You can never find lost time, no matter how hard you try. A man’s life is very short but the work is much large and difficult. There is so much to do in one’s life. Therefore, we should not waste even a single minute. Every breath, every second should be used properly and meaningfully. Time should never be passed up or forgotten, because it is a simple gift from God. A gift that never gets treated the way it should.
