Oh, honey I wish I could live in this glowing fun space forever.

I used to be an avid visitor of arcade back when I was 6 years old. I went to arcade almost every week with my dad just to play that stupid claw crane machine which I have no idea it's designed to not retrieve anything. But the little me was far from giving up, with the help of the baby eyes and a little promises and with lies, dad can't do nothing but sighed then gave me extra coins for that claw machine.
Trivia: I finally retrieved a frog doll from that claw machine in 2003. I guess that was once in a lifetime experience.
God, I enjoy those good old days.
I didn't know exactly when I stop visiting arcade. I guess it was around my adolescence era when I was busy with school and growing up.
And now I visiting arcade feels very nostalgic for me. Some games don't change at all, and some other are either gone or evolved. It's also funny to find myself bowing down a little to play certain machine when I used to stand on my toe to reach the machine when I was younger.
I like arcades. I like the hypnotizing lights. I like the let's-get-crazy ambiance. I like the tickets I can exchange into toys.
and basically I like being a kid.
