Day by day

New year, new job but same old other stuffs......

Still reminiscing about the era past as if that is the only happy period in my life. Though it is unfair to my wife to keep thinking the past is better than the present but it is forever true that I really enjoyed my childhood and the simpler life back then.

The indulgence of today (boy, do I indulge in gadgets but that's another story altogether) cannot match the simpleness of nothing in the past. No internet, no LED TVs, no advance gaming consoles, no ipad, no MP3 players, no mobiles, no notebooks etc but yet I can still remember the joy of chasing a plastic ball with my friends. Sigh, time flies. Multiple decades have already passed me by and here I am approaching middle age. As an individual, am I happier than my childhood? Not really but I am blessed with my lovely wife, good health, a job, a roof over my head, and much, much more.

Given a choice, which year would I want to return to? Maybe I have thought about and blogged about the magical year before but now and here I would say 1976. How I wish that can come true once more, even in my dreams....

Looking more at the past than the future, guess I am officially "Old School" now....
