a simple hug and peck on the cheek

... warms the heart.

kids r the most wonderful being on earth:
1. they bring u into their innocent world and let u view things from a different way
2. so easy to express their tots and feelings

when u grow older, u tend to have more complicated tots and feelings and in the midst of it.. u get more confuse and unhappy.

when u grow older, u find it harder to express yr heartfelt thoughts.

when was the last time i sent a card, wrote a letter or made a simple gift for a fren or a loved one? i cant remember.

these days, such are all replaced by sms-es and msn conversatons.

i remember i used to save my pocket money to buy ear-rings for my sister on her bday when i was still in pri sch. when i was in sec sch, i made cards for her which she still kept. now, gifts are expensive off the shelf items that are deemed "practical" and useful.

i remember when letter writing and hand made cards filled my days in pri sch to sec sch and even to jc. gifts were much simpler and meaningful back then. these days, u make time to meet up frenz on their bdays and gifts were simply items that they need.

i remember lovely notebooks were kept as diaries to pen down happy n unhappy times and try to keep them hidden in 'safe' places to keep them from the prying eyes of yr family. these days, u use the blog as yr diary cuz u spend most of the time on the computer.

has life changed its way of functioning or do ppl simply juz outgrow certain way of doing things?
