I was walking out from the bathroom this evening after a long day at uni, when i heard someone messaging me on MSN, i walked towards it hoping that it would be someone for good this time, as i use to get all the "Hie"s at the wrong time of the day. Hmmmm ... when i opened the box ... voilà ... my uncle sending me a file ... i clicked on the SAVE button and waited for it to load ...
It was ready before i went for my dinner at the dining hall ... and guees what ... i got a picture ... an old one, full with memories. I was not touched but i felt rather funny, as how can someone so small grow up to be as big as i am now. It tells a lot in the simple picture ... all with different reasons to be in or out of the picture. It is just wonderful, a scene in my life ... captured and etched in the minds of the people in the picture.

This picture wasn't all. More came after a short while, flooding my screen. This time pictures of my uncles and aunties taken during their teens and youths. It is sometimes funny how people talk about their old times ... all boasting about how good they look, how famous they were, how clever they once were. All sorts of things! Some even claim themselves as the "Golden Sisters and Brothers" of their taman. (that is what my mom told me) ... kononnya ... but they really look quite stunning in the old pictures.

Everything grows - from the age, the mind, to the soul and even the size. My aunt must have enjoyed eating.

Many things happened during the past, happy ones, sad ones ... but all of them encountered it together, side by side, supporting each other at times when they need each other. Living life the best out of themselves.

No matter how one would age or grow, one remains young forever if they want to be so, because it is us who make the decision, not the others. Be Young at Hearts.
