Faded memories...

How well do you remember your childhood memories? Back when you first talk, when you first stood up, when you took your very first step since birth or even when you had your first crush?

Recently I was required to call back my memories, way back into my childhood times where I did all those things above, meeting my first few friends and going to kindergarten as well as primary school. I realised that I've went through several stages of life already! Those memories are faded and they seemed to be quite a distant away from my mind now. However, when I had the opportunity to sit down and recall them, I was glad and thankful that I had the chance to go through them all and meet all those people in my life. I guess this is what they call life experiences. 

The first thing that came through my mind was the time when i was playing with my childhood friends. Hide-and-seek was the only game we play everytime we see each other and we never get bored of it. 

As time passes, I realised that I played less.  After getting into primary school, i would use every opportunity when it came to sports time to get myself all around the field. Each time i fell, I would pick myself up without letting a drop of tears out eventhough it hurts so much. Each time I fail to win the sport, I would tell my self to try harder again next time and not giving up so quickly. Each time I fought with my teammates, I would be the first one give in and join our friendships again. But how come as I grew up, all those courageous thing I once was able to simply do it, and now I find it so hard? 

The next stage of my life was secondary school. Well, things got more complicated there. However, no matter how rough my start was, God always polished the road ahead of me and allowed me to have a great time for a couple years. I guess I didn't appreciate those times well enough. 

Thirdly comes college. Well technically, I go all the way out of town to attend to that particular college. Then again, things started out roughly as I wasn't able to adapt to the whole new environment, the people, the furnitures and most importantly the STUDYING. Studying in this college beats studying for SPM or whatever.. This is when life started to get really stressful guys... Now in university, it doesn't gets easier...

Oh well, we all have our pasts, we all have our regrets as well as sweet memories back in the old days.. But what's important is the present... Some day in the future when we are 50 or 60, look back again into your pasts. You may cry because you lost someone, you may laugh at yourself because you did something silly and at that time you didn't realise it was sutpid or you may congratulate yourself because you finally achieve something in life. When you do all those things I told you so, there will be no regrets. Write a diary, tell your grandchildren, let your very own life live on forever eventhough you may be not around. Because, wherever you go, whatever you do, those memories remain. They may be faded a little, but they can never disappear. This I tell you, is one very expensive treasure of life.
