As I was going to sleep, this funny incident pop into my mind and I thought of sharing it out. When I was very young, I had a journal. I wrote it off an old diary and mostly about what happen on the day and sometimes my feelings towards certain things. It was a personal space, nothing people shouldn’t see, Just I rather for my eyes only. Like in many things in my life, it was hangat hangat tahi ayam, after some time, i just got lazy and stop writing. I even forgot where I put the diary. It was out of my mind and time.
Not too long after that, i saw this journal of mine mysteriously appeared on my desk. I open it up and it was filled with grammar corrections. Yes, apparently, mum somehow found my journal and decided to have a read. Not only that, she even corrected my grammar while at it. I was pissed at that time for the fact that she read my diary. I told her that it was my personal space and I appreciate it that she does not set onto it, more over making grammar corrections. I was very small then. Recounting the incident, I just can’t help to laugh on the fact that mum did grammar corrections on my journal writings.
Learning from that incident, I hid my second journal years later when I decided to have a go at writing again. Again, after some time, when the chicken shit turns cold, I forgot where I kept it. Suddenly in the middle of the night during my second year of College abroad, it dawned to me that that journal was loosely hidden in my room of which my parents had a small remodeling after I left for college. I can’t help to think if she did find it and read it, and this one, I truly did not want anyone to read as it cannot see the light of day. It was my teenage years journal, and you know what shit that goes through teenage minds.
Anyway, I got home from College, found the journal intact, and I still wonder if she did actually read it. One thing for sure was that there was no grammar correction on my writings. In a way, I was glad, she might not have read it. This blog of mine can be considered as my third journal, and it is viewable everyone in the world, so no dark secrets here, but mum does not know it exists. If she does find out, I dont mind her reading it. Too bad that she can’t make any grammar corrections on my blog entry.
