Second Childhood?

第二次的童年

六岁那年 渴望张高一点 每一天
一转眼之间 走出了校园 童话在也不见
换另张脸 谁还留住稚气不会变
儿时的音乐 谁还可以陪伴着我哼一遍

在一次回到以前 在一次享受肤浅
想在一次拥有 第二次的童年
在一次围个圆圈 在一次荡个秋千 想找回单纯的脸

回到以前 在一次享受肤浅
想在一次拥有第二次的童年
在一次围个圆圈 把世界缩成一个游乐园
辛福不用智慧也能感觉

Taken from 第二次的童年 ("Second Childhood")
By Daniel Lee 李吉汉

Looking at the lyrics, I can feel the what he is trying to sing about. Childhood is the part of our life that where you have no worries. Children running around with no worries and also their innocent smile and words.

Growing up means you have more responsibilities and worries. Just by looking at our parents is enough. Worry about their children's future, health and their progress in life; not forgetting money problem that is there all the time. I realised that my parents is older now, wrinkles appearing on their face, health deteriorating, I realised how time has passed us by.

Remember all those times in secondary school that shaped who I am today. My best friends, Lien Ghee, Chee Wei, Edwin, Wen Jian, Yeng Yeng, Sharron, Yuen Mei, Nean Hua and Wan Teang. These are the few ones that had give me the motivation in life. They made me realised how vain I was then, lazing around, take everything for granted like what a child would do.

Childhood is the best time of our life. I think all will agree with me. Too bad we can't go back in time. I am still the naive girl I was before. Wonder why I never grow up mentally? Now, I really wonder if love can give us second childhood as claimed in the song? Too naive to even think this way.

Lesson learnt: Yeah, childhood is nice, but people grow up. So I just have to accept the fact that life is this way. No looking back at your footprints but your future (this is what I learnt from someone). GROW UP, GIRL!!

Hope you all will enjoy this blog....
