Reflections.
We watched “Autograph Book” last week and it kinda reminds me of my wonderful yesteryears and it feels kind of relaxing just looking back and laughing at yourself.
Growing up is kinda sad. Whatever happened to the rainbow-coloured PaddlePops we kids used to love so much. Back then, PaddlePops were such a luxury. Now when I buy ice-cream, I’d choose stuffs like Cornetto or Haagen Daaz or Ben & Jerry’s. Sometimes I do crave for the multicoloured PaddlePop but then when I go to the Co-Op or the minimart, I can’t seem to find them.
Then just now Farhan, Ying Hao, Jue Yi and myself went to take photos at Chinatown and Arab Street and after the session, Farhan purchased a PaddlePop ice-cream! And this is his comment : It kinda tastes like shit now. How sad. Have we grown so accustomed to better tasting things that we look down on things that were such a gem when we were younger?
I guess that has nothing to do with last week’s lesson.

I’m not so sure that was off topic at all. It seems to be exactly what the movie was about: false senses of nostalgia.
