FollowWhile in Ipoh last weekend, the girls and I, along with my dad had a long walk around the neighborhood in the evening. We stopped outside a few houses to play with and pat other people’s dogs 😀 This is something that we don’t always do in KL. The girls’ schedules are pretty much filled to the brim with tuition and extra curricular activities, with very little time left for outdoor and leisure activities.
Alycia who was in a jovial mood, was hopping and traipsing on the road when all of a sudden, she tripped on her running shoes (which are my mum’s actually) and then rolled on the road a couple of times. I screamed and thought that she’d have some nasty injuries. But this young lady quickly picked herself up, dusted her hands and elbows and gave me a sheepish grin. What a scare she gave me! Fortunately, there was no oncoming car coming towards her!! She had some grazes and cuts on her hands, elbows and back of her waist.
Moments later, as we were still taking our long stroll, my 11 1/2-year old said this cheerily to me “well mummy, I can tick ‘rolling on the road’ off my bucket list now, HE HE HE!” And I have to love Alycia’s perspective in life. If only I can see the negative side of things as positively as how Alycia seeds them through rose-tinted glasses, there wouldn’t be any stress in my life. But can I? *shrug shoulders*
