13 Going 30... 30 going 13

13 Going 30

Summary - Appreciating is a hard thing to do

Hectic hectic day... So hi guys, hows life?

Yesterday I was watching a movie "13 going 30" on RTM2 with the mrs. Did you watch it? Well no fear, this is not a movie review. It is about one 13 years old wishing to be 30. And like every thing else in a movie, the wish come true.

I'm not sure about you, but when I am at that age, I cant wait to become adult. No more studying, no more exams, a lot of money every months. Can do anything we desire without the need to seek approval, Wow! that would be heavenly.

Not that my childhood is no fun. Believe me. It was the best time of my life. With all the drama, the rebellion, the awesome company, SO MUCH free time, I sometime wonder what to do... Now that I'm working. every once in a while, I start wishing to be given the opportunity to turn back time, and maybe this time I will appreciate the time more.

I believe every one, if given the chance, want to do the same. Am I right? Why ya?

I'm thinking this all through out the movie. And this is what I can come up with
  • We really are so bad at appreciating and be thankful. when we were kids, we don't appreciate all the wonderful things we're given and jealous of all the things adult do. It actually not a surprise because we were just not that mature at the time. But why when we were supposed to be more mature now, the "bad at appreciating" seems to still be there.
  • It doesn't stop there, we always find eating at other's house is more delicious than our very own cooking. We always envied other people for their perfect life, when in fact they were doing the same on you.
  • any other examples guys?
No wonder the word "syukur" is repeated many times in AlQuran. It is not an easy thing to do, don't you think?

--------------- Personal Note --------------------------
I know somebody may find that the movie is so ewww heheh. Well unfortunately I really like that type of movie. For me movies should satisfy my imagination. If I want to see war movies, I am better off with the evening news :). Anyway my kind of favorite movies are those that are imaginative like Harry Potter, LOTR, Highlander etc. Comedy is another genre I love. Ya la, if you are going to sit there for 2 hours, you are entitled to a happier you after the movie... :)
