Credits to Dr. Stewart for his lesson about the Continental Drift hypothesis and Theory of Seafloor Spreading. The seven continents that we have today were actually a Pangea, a supercontinent which the Earth had million years ago. It was one single continent back then before the continent was torn apart as suggested by the theory of seafloor spreading.
Not going to talk any further about this theory, but interested about the idea how one supercontinent was drifted into seven different continents.
The concept is just the same if we apply it to other natural occurances around us. Don’t have to go too far, just look at ourselves. Where were we 10 years ago? Went to primary school, having fun with friends, enjoying our childhood times. Before we went to school, our dad or perhaps mom will give us some money to buy food at the canteen during recess time. Or we brought “bekal” prepared by our mom and shared them with friends at school. Remember how we wrote “REHAT” in the middle of our class schedule?. Yeah, that is the second-can’t waited period for us during that good times.
Sitted for UPSR, some of us went to boarding schools, and the rest stayed at daily schools. Few of our good friends during primary school were not together with us anymore. We walked through our current lives from Form 1 to Form 3 and after PMR, few more went to boarding schools for getting flying colors in PMR. Again, our close friends during lower form were not together with us anymore. After SPM, the same things happen. Everyone is walking on his/her own choices in various fields.
We were once together with our old friends, with our families. Yet, as we are getting older, we are getting apart, following our own ways heading to our own future.

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.
