Life

Just got back from my dad’s hometown, Kuala Selangor. Not to visit grandparents because they were both passed away. But went there to meet my uncles and aunts since I did not meet them during last Raya.

We stopped at a mosque in the old town of Kuala Selangor to perform our Solat. After Solat, my dad showed me the place that he used to sit in that mosque when he was at the age of a primary school student, and also during his secondary school’s life. I looked at his eyes, and I saw a 50-years-old man, trying to recall his unforgettable childhood moments. Now, he’s not that child anymore. He’s grown up, getting married, and has a son. I smiled, because I knew, one day, I would stand at his place, and do the same thing to my child as he did to me.

We are getting older each seconds, but sometimes we are just not realizing it. I feel like I just left my school age yesterday. But, it has been almost three years since the last time I wear my school uniform. I feel like I just having a digimon battle with my friends yesterday, and I was using a Teddymon which I got from doing some cheat on the digimon. I feel like I just got back from playing gasing with my mates. I feel like I just asked my mom to buy me the latest Dragon Ball comic from a bookstore. I feel like I just broke a toy that I got from buying Tora.

I feel like I was just a small kid yesterday. Instead, I am reaching twenty years old, and those are just memories when I was a kid back then.

Time passes by, not to wait for anyone. Growing older, means getting more mature, given more responsibilities. We can never turn back in the world of reality. There is no such thing as time machine to send us back to our young ages. No matter what, we have to face each seconds that are coming towards us. Face it with a strong soul, and you will be a man.

Am stopping here.
