Wish Upon A Star #2

You must think I want to talk about the 'Wish Upon A Star' (1996) film which starred by Kathrine Heigl but NOPE it's not. I just want to share with you all about my foolishness right after I watched this movie and this is actually sequel to my 1st entry of wishing upon the star.

I was 14teen when I watched this movie and being the naive teenager (though I did know that it was just fiction movie) I still wanted to try out what 'Alexia' and 'Hayley' did in that movie. Well, you know they make a wish upon the shooting star. So, every night I stayed by my window and looked into the sky to see any sign of shooting star but after midnight I closed the window because I was scared of this creature called balan-balan and only peeked through the slits between the window. Gave up? At 1st nope, not until my father asked me one day after waiting for 2 weeks in row.

"Apa juga ko buat tiap-tiap malam tengok di langit," he asked me.

"Hmm..Tiada. Saja-saja ambil angin," I lied because I don't want him to laugh  on me if he knew the reason behind it..

He laughed and said,"Ni mesti ko mo ikut yang dalam tu cerita yang ko tengok tu hari kan." (nah kedapatan!) Imagined how embarrassed I was that time!

"Tidak salah mau harap sesuatu tapi berharap sama Tuhan bukan sama tahi bintang," this sentence woke me up from my foolishness and since then I gave up waiting for the shooting star to make my wish and directed it to God instead.

I have done too many foolish thing when I was younger and I am glad that there always someone who can point out my foolishness and guide me to be on the right track. Yes, my father is right. We can have as many wish as we can but make sure we wish it upon God who can hear out and grant it if our intention is pure enough..

As I told before, I still make wish here and there but I no longer look into sky and wait for the shooting star but I closed my eyes and say it in my heart.. Remembering the young me make me laugh sometimes..So naive..

How about you? Do you have any childhood foolishness that make you laugh every time you remember it? Gonna leave you with this Q, Happy Tuesday & Happy Fasting!

P/S: Remembering my childhood memories make me miss my father very much..
