In the blink of an eye

Such wide-eyed innocence, these five kids peering into the camera from the rickety planks of Kg Ayer. In no hurry for the destiny that lies in waiting. Schooling, Tablet PCs and before they know it, out in the rat race to eke out a career. Cars, videophone, shopping, cupid's arrow, marriage and soon the patter of little feet. It takes a lot of luck growing up. But life thankfully takes off from childhood. For now, it's pulling off pranks that make Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer blush. Can you still see your childhood when you look into their eyes? If you can't, you've lost your innocence. If you can, in the blink of an eye, you've come long way from home, pal!
