I wish I could come back

Today I will tell you a part of my life that I wish I could be there one more time. That was about December 31 2010- January 1st 2011 in Lunar New Year. At the last day of the year, I got up earlier than before, and I went to the bathroom I washed my face, brushed my teeth and changed clothes. After that, I went to help my mom to open the store, and when I opened the door the wind rushed in made my body shaking and gave me goosebumps. When I looked around, everyone was wearing jackets and long sleeve t-shirts, but I didn’t like to wear those things. One thing that I wish I shouldn’t do at that time is play video game, after I helped my mom, I begged her to go play video game, and I spent three hours for it. In the afternoon, as I finished playing video game, I visited my friends’ houses. When I asked them to ride bicycles around the town, they didn’t say anything, and they took board games , bottles of water, and bicycles. After that, we rode a long way and took a rest, we talked about what we are going to do in the rest of the holiday. Some of them would travel, and the others are visited their grandparent. Next, we rode back to the town, since the sun was going down, we all took a shower to the party. I finished earlier than the others, so I went around the market. Although, the people in the market work all day, but they always smiled and joked each other. As I went through them, I hear a man said “today is the last day of the year, so let put the troubles back and welcome a new year.” Then I joined the party, the kids ate dinner first, and played board game. On the other hand, our parents drank beer and sing karaoke, talk about the things in this year. At 11:59 pm, the fireworks started, we shouted ” Happy New Year” in unison. Unfortunately, those things have never happened again, I really want to go back that time, and I would not spend time for gaming. Every time I remember it that I always smile because at least I didn’t have the childhood with the technology surrounded like the kids now.

  1. This was a nice story Liem- and it sounds like it taught you a valuable lesson about how to spend your time- less games and more time with your friends and family. It is always easier after that time has passed to think about what we wish we had done differently. I’m glad you still have this wonderful memory.
