I was in Melaka for four days, from 22nd Aug to 25th Aug. Purpose of the trip? To help out in some work there. The opportnity has enabled me to meet up with 30 over Malaysian children.
It was a refreshing experience as I felt that the childlikeness and innocence which I could not find in most of Singaporean kids were evident in them. Through them, I saw how little things could make them so contended and happy. Example, like the games, "Jenga" and "Uno"; not many children like to play them nowadays. So many are caught up with computer games here. But to the kids in Melaka, they did not mind that these were 'old stuff'. They just played their hearts out!
The children back home here had lost the innocence of age too quickly.Many times, when I interacted with them, I felt that I am conversing with adults.
To me, it is such a pity that children should grow to become adults too quickly.
For life will then lose its colors too soon.
