When was the last time you unleashed your inner-kid?
Today, I woke up in a horrible mood, angry with myself for ignoring the alarm clock twice. I really want to get back to the habit of waking up early again. I don't want to waste time lying in my bed, dehydrating to the heat, dreaming of things that don't make sense and probably won't come true.
House was empty, fridge was empty, cupboard was empty, wallet was empty.
The only thing that was filled were annoyance and boredom.
So I asked on twitter if anyone can give me suggestions of what to do, where to head to and stuffs. A LightsArmy friend replied "go to the park and take photos". I thought, "hmms, why not, I should really get out of the house."
I would really go, I swear I would.
But, there was a FRIGGING BEE at the door. bee.
Naturally, I ran away to hide. Being the cleverass me, I went to the kitchen - Where there was the toilet, the food, the drinks. But... No Macbook.
The bee was still there.
So I just sat on the kitchen floor, thinking of how I should get out without being scared of the bee, then my stomach growled.
I opened the fridge again, recalling that I really wanted to eat some Milo and Rainbow cereal at 3am the previous morning/night.
The bee was still there.
So I poured myself some milk in a bowl and added lots of Milo and Rainbow cereal, LOTS, since it was meant to be lunch.
Began munching, chewing, drinking, boring, snoring, sleeping, drooling.
It got really boring when I was eating the cereals. Usually, I eat food in front of my Macbook so I'll be watching videos or movies.
The bee was still there.
Then I started taking one cereal at a time, instead of a spoonful of it.
There were probably 85482878042750827345 of them in the bowl.
I know I'm really long-winded.
Okay, my main point is
When was the last time you unleashed your inner-kid?
I know I'm still really immature and refusing to admit I'm 17 and turning legal in half a year's time. But I admit, I got so caught up in schoolwork, deadlines, housework, chores, money issues, online forum communities, youtube, twitter etc
I seemed to have forgotten about my kid-ish side.
The side of me that I really enjoy being.
As I took one cereal at a time, I recalled being a 7 year old, Primary One.
Every weekend morning, my mum would prepare a warm cup of milk with a bowl of cereals. I'd wake up as early as 8am to watch cartoons on TV. Before PowerPuff Girls started playing at 10am, I'll sit at the dining table and enjoy my delightful bowl of cereals.
Then, I'd scoop them up one by one too. Just like what I did today.
I'd pick them up in accordance to their colours, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue etc...
I'd pick them up in accordance to their shapes, Round, Triangle, Stars..
When I'm left with 10 pieces of cereals, I like to form a Smiley Face with them. Then I'll go to the toilet where my mum would be washing the tub, hold her hand and lead her to the dining table, and show her my masterpiece of "The Floating Smiley Cereals".
I probably did that every other weekend.
It lasted until I grew up, started rushing to finish that bowl of cereals, started having wants, started being selfish, started being competitive, started getting annoyed and bored easily, started ignoring the simple things in life that made me smile and laugh to myself..... and my imaginary friend Bobby the Dino.
So what I'm trying to say is, try doing it.
ONE DAY! without your handphone, without your laptops, without any bees, without any worries.
Just go and be that kid again.
That kid we ignored after becoming a teenager. She/He is probably lonely, abandoned and waiting for you to smile and wave to her/him again.
and don't forget to befriend Bobby the Dino.
(okay, that sounded really creepy)
Loves,
