Sometimes I find it hard to believe I'm 23. Where did all those years go? As you get older, the more is expected out of you. I can no longer turn a blind eye to my problems and let "mummy & daddy" to handle it. I WISH!!
Then again, I guess this is all part and parcel of life.
I laugh at myself sometimes when I'm in the kitchen making dinner. Back then, sis and I would play "masak-masak" with plastic pots and pans. And now, we're both cooking for real. It doesn't feel as glamorous or fun as back then. Also, when we were younger, we always fought for who will be cooking first. Today - we both fight for whose taking the day off . The irony
Back then, it was so cool playing with toy cars, and pretending you're the reckless driver. Today- I drive with my eyes glued to my windscreen, searching for hidden cameras and police cars. Again the irony
When we were lil' it was fun to act like an adult , wear mom's high heels, play with her lipstick, pretend to pay the bills, etc. Today - not so. I don't know bout you guys, but choosing something to wear for a big night out, gives me a headache. My high heels give me blisters. And saying bye-bye to your money when paying the bills is definitely no fun. The irony !
And as I get older. I also understand the reason behind certain things my parent's used to tell us or do when we were lil. The reason was simple - to protect their kids. But we didn't understand those things back then. I've learned to appreciate my parents much more.
As time flies, I realize it'll soon be my turn to take care of my parents. I pray i'll be able to do so, with the same love and care they showed me and my siblings.
