少年不识愁滋味 Carefree years in my youth

前几天,四姨丈寄来来几张旧照片。

当时的我,就读于钟灵中学,应该是十五,十六岁左右。

回想起来,当年就只晓得读书,搞好功课,全然没有妄想长大后会成为怎样的人,更没有想到自己会成家立业与老去。

年轻就是那么逍遥,不愁生活 (因为有父母的抚养资助)。

随着时光的过逝,年龄已过六十的我,重新看到年轻时的稚气,难免觉得有点滑稽。

无可否认,在事业这条跑道,我走得蛮顺利。娶来的老婆,也挺能理家,把三个小孩都教养得好有成就。

Old photos inevitably will churn up past memories.

As far as I can remember, I was not particularly troubled in my younger days. I had always been a nerdy, studious young boy, with no bad habits (apart from "addiction" to watching movies). And my academic works had always been good. (my parents were never worried about my school work).

In those younger days, I never thought of myself growing into adulthood, getting married, working hard for the family etc. I just focused on my studies.

Those were carefree days, thanks to the unreserved support and love from my parents. The thought of growing old never occurred to me in those younger days.

Somehow, I have forgotten how I looked like in those days...
