Childhood Memories

Coming into this world it was a gift from god. For me been a kid, I only know three things, eat, play, sleep. It will be repeated every single day till that day I start my education. Milk was my favorite when I was young. It was because I’m feed with milk since I was born. That was the only food I can count on till the day I could actually ate something nicer, such as baby biscuits and porridge. Without fail, every time when it was time for milk, I will make the most noise in the house.

Besides feeding on milk, the second thing I knew was playing. After each meal I had, I will be just be playing with my own toys. Creating my own space and just keep on playing without any worries. Toys at home weren’t enough for me, so very often my parents will bring me to the playground to play, I love the swing the most. My dad will actually put me on him and start swing front and back. Not only that, when I was put on the floor I will start running around and find my own way up to the optical and slides down. 

Of course the most excited moment was when my parents carried me and brought me to bathe and change to outing clothes, I will start jumping around because I know that we are heading out of house. During the moment when I was bathing I was really happy because I’m able to play with water and of course enjoy the warm bathe. My parents even blow bubbles at me. The most often place my parents would brought me to is Great World City! I love going there as there was this place for kids to play, if I’m not wrong it was called “Fantasy World”. It was something like playground, there were many optical and of course not forgetting the soft balls. I would actually spent about 2 hours playing inside.

There’s something that kids always love to do, watching cartoons! That was one of my favorite things to do when I was at home if I don’t get to play my toys. My favorite character from young is Chip & Dale from the Walt Disney, till now I’m coming to the age of 21 I’m still loving it. When I started my education, everyday I will actually ask mother to faster fetch me back home because I want to catch the show timing on Disney channel. Everyday without fail I will watch it. Sometimes even when I’m having my meals, I will request to have my meals in front of the television. 

I have many more childhood memories and whatever I mention at the top was what I actually love doing and it was a everyday thing in my childhood life.
