One day when i looked at the photographs taken during my childhood days,many memories came back to me.Truly speaking,my childhood are pleasant.Since i was born,my mother has always taken a good care ofme in everything.My dad usually appeared at any important events in my life and was so intimate to me to encourage me in my study.At the weekend,i often played football,hopscotch,the game of blindman's buff,the game of hide and seek and went to fishing with my friends too.Those memories have been lasting during my life !

My childhood days weren't filled with much fun at all. My brother and i shared lots of household chores since mother instilled in us the hard way of living. Its not that we were one of those families in the poverty line, Father was working overseas and mother got a good job in town. I used to resent mother for such kind of upbringing and its only now that i had my own work that i realize and appreciate everything that mother had taught us during those younger years. I'm a girl scout in many ways, a survivor in many challenges and i owe everything to the discipline made at home. So, looking back i can say I'm one of the lucky few who was provided such privilege - to live life in the hard way at an early stage and enjoy everything that life throws in my way now. i wish i could go back and live everything over again but this time, I'd learn to appreciate the hardships.

Yes, I do. Being a kid is not so difficult. Your problem would probably be what color to use, what to play and other kids stuffs. If only I could, I would. That will be really fun.

I think most of us look forward to that,though we know it is impossible.We can play together after school.We do a lot of funny things. We climb up to the tree to take the bird's eggs.We use the pole to beat neighbour's jujube tree.and then eat them up. We also catch insects to make the so-called interesting experiment.etc. All these memories seem to happen yeasterday.It is so clear to remember. But at that time ,we all hope to grow up quickly. But now we wish that we could come back. Just like one said,"That they get bored with childhood,they rush to grow up,and then long to be children again."

Yes I do. I want to go back when I was in high school. I was not good at making friends because I was so shy then. I should have get over that shyness in the earlier part of my life. I want to go back because life is so much easy and problems you encounter are so so simple.

Yes, of course, there were moments when i look at the pictures when i was like 8 years old, then i remember how wonderful was that moment and the start to remember all others moments i pass with my family, those thing we use to play, those places we use to go, when we travel, those kids games, those jokes i made to my parents, in that moment they get angry, but when i talk to them about it, they just laugh.

I actually became rather depressed last year, as I realised that a lot of the experiences that I had during childhood will never come back to me again. The worst bit is, for me at least, that I didn't realise at the time just how much of a good childhood I was having. I mean, I always knew that I was lucky to grow up in the family that I did, but I feel as though I wished a lot of it away, as I wanted to grow up and have a house, a family, and a job. With hindsight, I wish that I had taken hold of my childhood while I could, and made a lot more out of it than I actually did. I spent too much time worrying about falling out with friends, and not being as pretty as other girls in my class, when in actual fact I was hugely privilaged and should have realised that at the time.

Yes i really wish that i could get all those old days back. It was a great time i had back in my childhood in which i had no rules or regulations to follow. It was a thrill of a lifetime now i stop and think about it. But hey one cannot only live in the past and there is a whole lot of future ahead. So look ahead to the future and not to ones' past. Cheers!
