I worship children a lot. They amuse me in so many ways that tickled my inner soul and touch its core. They are the emblem of happiness, the insignia of liveliness.
They live this life without a care.
Sometimes I wish the adolescent in me stays in my skin ceaselessly. Hah.
I have seven nephews and nieces, enough to bring down the house every time ‘seven-seven’ of them gathered together. The eldest is now turning six while the youngest has just reached one yr and a half.
They give me enough headaches but yet they make me smile time and again with their behaviour. They are all very clever, witty, and bright and yes, creative in their own way.
And as I was browsing through some of old photos from my old camera, I just noticed their creativity and inventiveness that’s rather compelling. Each of them develops their own individuality and exceptionality of their own character at this phase of age. How startling!
*perhaps it’s because they’re fed with Enfagrow? Hah. What a thought.*
Hasya Nabila, 6 – very soft-spoken and co-ordinated, and always clean and proper top-to-toe, she might own her own spa one day, I hope. Right now she’s just busy yelling to her mommy “There’s one, tiny dirt on my shoe, Ibu!”
Izzah Azreen, 6 - is so genius in Mathematics (she’s been with Kumon since aged 4) and loves to count, pretending she’s in a restaurant counting money so I think she might be an accountant or open up her own business.
Amila Qistina, 5 –she’s very honest and straightforward that we always called her the ‘Cikgu Besar’. But she’s also so garang that she always said “Jangan main-main dengan Na…Na garang! Na polis!” Just hope she knows what the work is like.
Amierul Haziq, 4 –very good in remembering melody tunes and keeping up with drum beat, he’s now learning to play piano. But I see his creativity more towards building things; he might become an architect or engineer.
Tsara Khalis, 4 – this girl is one of a kind! Beautiful with curls and long, lentik eye-lashes, she loves to pose in front of the camera and catwalk in my high-heels. But what makes this girl extraordinaire is that she always and always, thinks out of the box! She will come out with ideas and solutions (often for herself lar) that normal kids could never think of!
Aiman Zikrie, 2 yrs and a half – he’s a true ‘orang seni’ as I always called him. He’s creative, sensitive, witty and always aware of his surroundings. He showed interest in art mostly, he loves to draw and sing and dance. But what he does best is tell us funny stories, often a tale about ‘Mak Lampir and Haziq.” Tembelang lebey.
Irfan Affandy, 1 yr and a half – auww he’s too clueless! He’s busy separating his toys in colours and sizes.
Here are some of the photos that could prove to you that little children influence us, adult, in so many ways actually.
.aiman and his drawing of aeroplane (te-te-plen as he calls it).
.semalam nak jadi pelukis jalanan, hari ni nak jadi bonzer plak dah.
.irfan is always camera-shy. Candid him as he was busy trying to grab my canon.
.he fiddles with cars, often. Jangan end up being a pomen, udah ler.
.tsara khalis, qistina and hasya.
.eyy apa ni curik2 ambik gambar Na!.
.Haziq with one of his inventions of buildings and structures. He said “Incredible is trying to invade the Giant, Ibu! It’s so tall, I don’t think he could make it!”
I'm uploading new photos in my flickr..
Enjoy.
Living my life pathetically happy.
