My childhood was fun. I feel sorry that most children of today don’t get to enjoy outdoor activities anymore. Even toddlers are already confined at home playing computers. Yep, they’re probably seeing educational shows but having to go out and run and laugh with friends is entirely a different experience. We got dirty and exhausted but at the end of the day, it was always a happy experience despite the occasional bruises and wounds.
I especially have fun memory regarding doorbells back then. Some few meters from where we live was a subdivision. The houses were huge with gates. And there was a Chinese who sold eggs and chickens. If mother would ask the errand of buying the eggs, I would gladly comply. All because I would then press all the bells in the gates and ran off when I see the maids coming out! Then I’d laugh my heart out. That was mean of me I know. But I thought that was really a fun thing to do. LOL! Now, I realized how simple my happiness was. Wish I could go back to those days when eating fish balls alone was truly a delight.
