Growing Up, Old, or Wiser ?

Salam n greetings.
My nieces ; how fast time flies -->

my nieces- some of them (naughty ones)

I have 16 nieces and nephews (so far ;-) ), sometimes, i will act as an over-rated advisor when they want to opt for something. - errr ... mainly in academics & personal life (heh..heh..hehhh ..). Back to my niece, it is like yesterday when i was baby sitting her and her brother (normally during school break) - with my another sister. Actually, it was not just for being a baby sitter - but was a free vacation and extra pay as well ;-). And now, she is a full grown teen, with typical teenager behaviors(well - what do you expect ;-)) in her tertiary education. The point is - time flies so fast. Too fast. Goshhh, i'm old (opssss what a minute - not old .. but growing up) .. and getting wiser. heh..heh..heh.


Kucing: laaa .. pokcik tuo doh ko?
Pakcik: iskkk ... apa kes kucing ni .. jangan menyampuk org tua cakap ..shuhhhh!
Kucing: iyooo laaaa....

Yup, when we are looking to someone - or something that relate to us, actually we are looking to our past (or future perhaps). I've met many friends - who considered themselves as being old ... but actually they are not. Still, there is a child in it. Me, myself included. Aging is a process to be cherished, to be learned, and to be manifested its meaning. Not just grumbling and doing nothing, and to be feared. Nobody has that fountain of youth potions. I guess, i never consider my self as getting older, - biologically it is and age is counting - but getting wiser is far more greater and much better- and stay young in mind. How to do that - is to keep life interesting, contribute, and grow old gracefully. So my dearest bloggers, you're not getting older - but getting my wiser.


Growing old gracefully. :-)

pakcik said: I've heard that it's possible to grow up - I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. We always break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends (or patner), we look for protection where we can find it, and we hope - against all rational logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope.

Salam Azizi,

Won't be long before I turn 43..Sept ni je..But there's one thing I can tell u, Azizi..I AM proud of my age..walaupun bg kja, being older doesn't necessarily mean being wiser..Berapa ramai org yg dah berumur tp masih blom cukup bijaksana..

Mak kja ada 17 cucu, meaning kja ada 15 nieces n nephews.. Seronok tengok depa n perkembangan depa, baik dr segi mental, fizikal atau emosi.. Yg baru meningkat remaja dah pandai ada crush sini, crush sana.. And sememangnya, Azizi, they are what we too were once about...

semakin umur meningkat semakin bersemangat buat out-door sport...kat gym yg aku gi kat sini, tak sangka betul, pakcik (atau atuk?) masih bertenaga lagi berlari-lari dan main squash...aku yang "sweet 17" ni pulak yg termengah-mengah...

anak2 buah ku pulak, yg diaorang paling syok time aku balik kampung atau raya..mmg diaorg tunggu2..sblm bagi lagi dah bagi syarat jgn bagi kurang dari rmXX...pergh....mentang2lah aku ni keja cop duit..ikut suka jer diaorg demand lebih-lebih.
ciao.

azizi said...

[fazrul] .... ooooo itu petanda2 yg agak menarik. tp, stay young in mind. ... tp bab2 bersukan ni ... sbb malas ye .... jgn salahkan umur ye. ha ha ha ..

[kak ja] ..salam. yupp, nothing to be feared. sbb mana mungkin ditahannya umur dan waktu. yg penting buat yg terbaik, :-)

[marahman] .. ha ha ha ... jgn terkalah la pulak .. buat malu. tp masa aku pergi btn dulu, lawak tgk tutor2 muda2 baru habis belajar - tp biologically mcm org umur 50 tahun.

azizi said...

heyya...

getting older and wiser... do we know when the time come?? Our age might increase drastically by years... but, do we really that old?? ahah... I'm getting older and EMO as my age increase... I don't know... and I don't care as well...

by times... experiences make us wiser... so, I live my life to the fullest... and never once regret what happen in the past... it's a journey... it's a learning process... and I'll take my time through it... (not sweet time... as time flies too fast) I'll enjoy every moment... I hope you too :) winkwink

**I'm still a child... Thanks Allah for this opportunity... this life!
