SMPN-1 Sidoarjo

I miss my childhood. I miss the freedom to roam the streets with my friends or to ride bikes where we did not have to worry about safety. I miss "sukodono" where we took tons of sugar canes, young coconuts from my friend JOKO and brought them home. What a great ride it was from the along side rice field then stopped in the water dam for irrigation and loosed our clothes and swim with my close friends Prie and Yudi, hahaha. I miss the kids on my street and every street in our neighborhood. I miss riding my bike to the village.

I lived in a small development of houses that until I went to Junior high school, stood alone, surrounded by rice field and Pucang river. There was an mango, tamarine across the street. All of us were about the same age so not only did we play together; we also went to the same school and were in the same classes. We could walk into any house at any time. Our parents all knew each other.

I miss Djoko, Prie, Yudi, anang …. they were my very best friend. After graduation from SMPN 1 Sda we moved into different schools and city. We were always together in school holiday.

Yes, I miss my carefree childhood. I had great parents who made it the best place to be. I miss the loss of innocence that life forced into my world. And most of all, I miss them all.

Luxury

Today, if you talk about conspicuous consumption, nothing is more expensive than a child who remains a child into his mid-20s, when he tries to find himself and you have to finance it; or if he picks a profession that doesn't quite work out and comes home. In other words, having children is a luxury, not a necessity.

People are not going to indulge this luxury excessively, and, therefore, there are fewer children.

thanks GOD.

And for myself i always say alhamdulillah related what i achieved in my life so far, hope Allah bless my children to get better life in the future.
