BE A KID
Life can be real funny sometimes. When you're still in school, you would say "I can't wait to work." Then when you've started working, you'll be like "I want to go back to school."Like when you're a kid for instance. You would look at adults and say to yourself, "I can't wait to grow up, work, have my own money, make my own decisions and not being told what and what not to do." Now being 23, I realized being an adult is no fun at all. I hate when people tell me to act like an adult. I don't wanna be told to grow up. If I can have one wish, I'd wish I'm a kid again.
[Reminiscing] I sure miss being a kid. Or acting like a kid for that matter. I was so caught up with all these "unimportant" things, I just forgotten how to have clean fun. I miss those days where I used to skate with Dowayne at the multi-storey car park. I would skate down the slope and not think about the consequences. The feeling is indescribable. When I was going down the slope, I felt almost free with the wind blowing my hair. I miss the injuries too, believe it or not. One time, my skateboard knocked on my ankles so hard that it gotten super swollen and it looked like a tattoo from afar. Haha.
I miss the time when Ina and I crashed our hotel's swimming pool. It was already 9ish in the evening and the pool was closed. When the elevator door opened, we looked to our right and left and when it was all clear, we ran to the pool and dived straight in. HAHA!
Man, those were the days. It was off the hook. Haha.
A few days ago, Dowayne, Shakila, Shahiran and I were walking at a void deck and there was a new childcare centre. It was closed because it was a public holiday, Hari Raya Haji. But there were a lot of grand opening flowers on a stand outside their door. There were sunflowers, roses, carnations, etc. We looked at it, looked around to see if there's anybody looking, picked a few stalks and ran. Hahahaha. That was really dumb.
[One of the flowers we "picked"]Life as a kid is simple yet fun and fulfilling. And definitely, stress-free! It is nowhere near what I've "achieved" in adulthood. But since wishes don't come true, I'd stick to me being "childish" and "immature" and hanging out with the kids. And that's exactly what I did last Tuesday.
I cut work, went out and played one game of bowling with the kids. After that, we grabbed a bite and decided to crash the mall. We went to Tampines Mall and made hell of a mess. First was Yamaha Music School. God, I wanna get that electric guitarrrrrr! It's a special offer of $388 which package includes electric guitar, amplifier, guitar bag, cables, picks, etc. Super worth it. The usual price was $509. It was the exact same one my guitar teacher asked me to get when I was still in Yamaha Music School.
Then off to Toys"R"Us. My favorite place! We made the most impact there. We played soccer in the store and Shahiran kicked the ball so hard it flew over to the next section. Hilarious! I wonder if it hit anyone. Haha. Then Dowayne put on a pink High School Musical backpack and walked around the store, oblivious to the people looking at him. We, too, tried on a couple of children Disney's sunglasses which can barely fit into my face. Haha.
But we made the LOUDEST noise in Times Bookstore. But I think it was because the store was generally quiet. Anyways, it happened when we were browsing through a magazine and it had a Paramore pin-up in it. Shakila screamed her lungs out and stroked Josh Farro's cute face hard enough that she was crumpling the pin-up. HAHA. We laughed our asses off. Everybody looked at us. People just stopped doing their things and STARED at us. EVERYONE. You can't really blame Shakila. JOSH FARRO IS FUCKING HOT! The name is already hot enough for me. Look at him! Orgasm!!

We bumped into Dowayne's pretty bestfriend, Mira. Said our hi(s) and exchanged hugs. We then made our way to 77th Street because Dowayne wanna get a new black bandana and a black band. Shakila and I tried on some beanies there. I think I might get one. The one at Fox is kinda cute. Our last stop was TIMEZONE. No explanation needed :)
[The Kids and Santa]
[Dowayne and I enjoying the fire place. Dowayne obviously can't wait to open his presents. Hahai.]Well, I hope this Christmas is better than last year's. I think I already know what I want for Christmas. *Sings* All I want for Christmas is JOSHUA NEIL FARRO. Santa better goddamn exist. So are you naughty or nice?
love,
nadia.
