My Childhood Days

I was thinking of this a few days back, like how I used to spend my childhood days back when I was young. I guess it's good to write it, and relive it through a story.

My Childhood Days

I used to remember back then, when I was still in primary school here. How I spent my day. A weekday would be spent majorly on homework. When I returned home, I would first have my lunch, watched TV, then start on my work. I remember those days when I would quickly pretend to study when my mum arrived home from work. Like I would seriously rush from wherever I was to my study bench to study.

The weekend is an awesome one. Since we did not have a holiday on Saturdays here, Saturdays used to be my most favourite day of the week. And since school ended early, if I'm not wrong it was 11/12 o clock. Unless there's CCA, and thankfully my CCA was not mostly on Saturdays. So when I reached home, the first thing I would do was to wash my shoe.

I would go to the toilet and brush my shoe with a little soap and water, and then put them under the sun to dry it for the whole day. If there was rain I'll extend it to Sundays. After that I would be the happiest kid in the world. I would play, just play, anything with my cousins. And if my other cousins would come, we would be having the best times of our lives.

My most favourite section of my Saturdays would be the evening. I remember back those days, where we would go to "depan". Basically it refers to the entrance of my dad's factory. There is a slope there, where we used to cycle on top and cycle down. Played catching there, or more.

And if time, and our parents permit, we would go to "jajan". It means to buy little snacks at this shop near our house, but to get there, we would have to go to this path where it was sort of "adventerous". We would call it a little adventure of ours. Back then it was really really cool to go there. We used to call it a little adventure we had.

I sort of regretted, or if not, I should say thanks to the lack of technology, I did not take those pictures, I think it will be a really good memory if we were to take pictures while we're doing this. And I really really miss the sunsets I used to see when we went to "depan" during those Saturdays.

In the evening, I would sleep late. And I love it. Cause when we were young, I think sleeping late was a cool thing. It sorts of replace the "sleep early rule" we always have during the weekdays. And the night would be even be more awesome when my cousins stayed over. Sometimes they would sleep at my house, if not, my grandma or aunt's house.

Then on Sundays, it will be slackish day for me, and quite a hectic one at night. I would wake up in the morning to watch my favourite cartoon. Be it Digimon, Doraemon or others. I would defy my mum for not bathing early, I remember how she used to scold me if I didn't bathe before 10. And if not, Sundays would be spent on my religious class. Which spreads from 10 to about 12 I think.

After that, in the afternoon, I would go shopping with my mum. It's a weekly shopping thing, so I was really happy to go shopping. Sometimes I would beg my mum to buy me some things, like toys. I love robots and stuff, so I would bug her just to get one. And of course she would gladly refuse to buy it for me.

And at night, I would call it a hectic one. Why? Cause I will be busy doing my homework for Monday. After two days of lovely lazying around and playing around, that's when the hardwork begins. Thankfully I usually have the time to finish it. Oh, not forgetting the tests as well, sometimes I would spend the night studying for it.

Those were my childhood days.

I really miss them now, really really miss them now. Sometimes I would ponder about those days, and compare them with today. Of course, the difference is relativly huge. I mean really huge. Those days was so much better. Happier. More relaxed. Sometimes I hate the fact that we all have to grow up. And then leave these days behind.

But then life has to move on. Now we go on our own separate ways, We have our own things to do, and life moves on. Even though those days may be left behind, I will also leave them inside my heart, inside this tiny little memory of mine, and shall carry it this I heave my last breath.

And till today, I still long to return to my childhood days.
