Emo, iPad and kids?

It's an ex's (kinda ex lah) birthday today. I almost forgot about it, until I terbaca dalam Facebook his (new) girlfriend. (Ok. not so new lah.. but they have been together for quite awhile..).

Although I must say that his name is still there - in my birthday organizer. Well anyway, he looks happy (from the picture on the gf's FB).. and I'm really happy for him. He is a nice guy and he deserves all the happiness in the world. Sigh.

Okay lah. Tetiba emo jap. Especially since he still calls me by the nickname that he gave me ages ago. And I know he still remembers my favorite food and favorite football team. And our song and all. 

Hmmm. Sekali sekala, takpe kan.. mengenang kembali kisah lama. I have to remind myself that while he cares for me, he just probably doesn't love me enough to make that sacrifice to be with me.

Sebab now he has this girl, and it seems that he's willing to make the same sacrifice for her. Which is good lah. It shows that he's serious about her and wants to commit. Alhamdulillah.

I have no regrets being with him dulu.. and I don't have any regrets that things didn't work out the way I was hoping it to be. Sebab maybe ni semua dah takdir kan. We are just not meant for each other. It's that simple. No other excuses.

Well anyway... ntah kenapa, I was thinking about the iPad and letting kids play with them. I mean, if I have children, I would love to see my kids to get all excited over books and balls and things that they can grasp and hold and flip and throw.

Or am I too ketinggalan zaman already?

Mungkin cara didik anak these days, is not through books. It's through iPads and Tablets. Maybe lah kot.

Which is ... err ... I don't know ... weird? Shouldn't kids be running around and pretend that they are pirates and princesses? Shouldn't kids be reading story books, turn the pages one by one and dream about being on a wishing chair?

Or perhaps, you can get all those via YouTube and the Internet?

Sigh. Maybe I'm selfish.. but I want my child(ren) to have the same childhood I had. Naik basikal sampai berpeluh, play hide and seek, reading till late at night about the naughtiest girl in school etc.

Nasib lah I takde anak kan. If not, mesti anak I dah ketinggalan zaman kot... :(

In any case, the irony is that although I'm not keen on the idea of introducing kids to technology, I am now dreaming of the iPhone 6. I know it's just a lavish thing - I already have the iPhone 5 which is in really good condition. So why even think about the iPhone 6. Kan?

Tapi entah lah... nafsu kot... :)

I want..
