0316. was talking to miss c about all the things we did as kids; she with her 5 stones and me with my one leg matches.

though we're 2 years apart, we were raised in a more or less similar era of the 80s. it was an age of innocence, she said, to which i agree. we enjoyed our lives, carefree like the mynahs and sparrows in our neighbourhood housing estates. we didnt gave a damn to war, to economic crisis, to pandemics, or whether we would have dinner set on the table by the end of the day.

but i would never wanna go back to that time when i was young and naive. i knew so little about the world and thought about so little things. all i cared for was to do well academically so my parents would reward me.

it's true everything on hindsight seems clearer. im glad i am where i am today, no matter what the problems are presently around or going to be ahead of me. because when she is by my side, i feel empowered.

i feel i can take on the world without batting an eyelid.
