When nostalgia strikes...
After having dinner with my friends just now, I suggested we drop by the renovated bookstore around the corner.
Being in the bookstore made me felt nostalgic. I remembered how I used to visit that store whether I had anything particular to buy or just to pass some time. I loved going into bookstores and I still do! I always love the connection that you feel when you hold a book. It feels like you are entering different worlds through books!
The shopkeeper asked me, "Are you studying or working already?"
I hesitated for a bit before answering, "Working."
To be honest, I was quite shock at the shopkeeper myself! He remembers me! The me 9 years ago who has never changed in term of looks! Well, just taller and bigger =P
(I have not been there since I moved away from that town and the bookstore that I sometimes go to around here is smaller and the shopkeeper is a very unfriendly lady I should say!)
Ahhh.. the good old days when the only problems on our minds were to study, get passing grades, what to do after school, where to go during the school holidays and which cd/cassette to get or which outdoor game to play! But time does not wait and the past will only be memories for us to reminisce as long as our brain or heart still remembers.
I was just talking with my friend this afternoon how we used to beg for a new box of colour pencils or a new set of story books and that kids nowadays are asking for iphones, ipads, itouch, laptops, mobile phones, nintendo ds, psp and what not! And most of the time, kids nowadays get their wishes really easily where as we practically had to beg for days or sometimes weeks, just to get a box of 36s colour pencils! You know how we were given only 12s or max 24s colour pencils?! They are not enough ok! HAHA especially if you have a hobby of colouring princesses, Mickey and Hello Kitty on colouring books like me! OMG where are those colouring books now? I have not seen a single one since Primary school days! It has long been replaced by Ben 10 and Upin & Ipin! LOL
Ah.. nostalgia~ nostalgia~

This is a picture of the 36s colour pencils that I had to beg for and it costs around B$20+!!! You know how awesome it was to own this last time?! HAHA
I did not ask for the 48s cos it was B$30++! LOL see?! I was sensible since young ok! HAHA
