Since I was a kid, I love scribbling on papers, drawing things that I see around me or sometimes things that I imagine. Outsiders may view it as a day dreamer wasting ink and paper, but to me each drawing includes my thoughts and feelings, showing reflections of my emotions and perhaps ambitions or dreams.
I remember that me and my younger sister scribbled our drawings on the bedroom walls when we were very young, and we ended up being scolded by our parents and almost gotten a caning from dad. From that day onwards, I know that the walls are not my "paper" anymore.
Passion for art never fade off after the incident though. Mum gave me lots of color pencils, erasers and papers and allowed me to draw as much as I want. So there I go, scribbling again, mostly drawing girls with big eyes with princess-like dresses. Many people may still remember the old days whereby we play with paper dolls with cut-out dresses and ornaments. My best toy was actually self-made paper dolls and dresses that we designed wildly from our imagination. It was fun and enjoyable!
I am regretful than I did not keep any of those childhood scribbles and drawings. To all parents who see your kids scribbling or drawing (be it perfect or imperfect), please keep these drawings or just snap photos of these precious works and keep them for future reference. Who knows, your kid may be a famous artist and his childhood works can be pretty inspiring!
