reminiscence

when sitting in the back of the car
and windows were wound down
the rushing winds battling across my cheeks
i feel like i'm a kid all over again

when dad buys ice-cream back home
i served it with hazelnut sauce and banana slices
spoons and spoons savoured with my greedy lips
i feel like i'm a kid all over again

when night falls and bedtime approaches
as i give mum a good night hug
cuddling tight in her arms feeling a mother's warmth
made me feel like a kid all over again

when going back home after so long
seeing the face of mummy and daddy
calling them out like seeing them back home from their day's work
i know i'm a kid all over again.

    wat saddens me is that they're aging faster than we can say 'no'........

  4. chris! fancy seeing u here! well for me, seeing them age is more obvious from their 背影, or when u just suddenly sees it in their eye in the right moment. suddenly i realises how much they sacrifices for their children. how noble. chris, i can't imagine the day when age catches them faster than i can handle. =(((
