♥Childhood
Yesterday when i walked past to my 旧家 there to visit my grandparents + pass things to my 小舅 who is currently living at my 旧家, i suddenely remembered alot of things that happened at my 旧家 there, all my
childhood memories.
I remember that we lived on one end of the block at storey 9 and my grandparents lived on the other end of the block at storey 7. I remember that the design of the building was
very special.
Then i remember
Xi Wen &
Xiang Xiang, my neighbours. In fact i just walked pass their houses yesterday. They were my
best friends. I lived at the very end of the corridor, then Xi Wen's house was beside mine. Then, after a flight of stairs next to XW's house was Xiang xiang's house. They were the first ones to teach me how to ride a bike and i remember we would always meet together at the corridor and play hide-and-seek together, hang out together, do dares together and get scolded together.
I remember how everybody in the block knew who each other was. And how i was known to the whole block as the "
SCREAMING CHILD" because i had a
LOUD voice which i was not afraid to use
AT ALL TIMES. I remember that little boy from the 8th storey whom i loved to kidnap to my house, Felix, Jolene & Aunty Lily of the 11th floor and
SO SO SO many other people.
I remember how when i lost my front teeth and could only pronouce "
FISH" as "
HUISH", how the aunties would coo over me and ask me for 4D numbers. And i would give all of them each a number, though i
can't really remember if i had repeated any numbers.
I remember how i was known as a boy till 3 years old. People who first saw me would call me "
boyboy" till my mother told them that i was a girl. Then i remember my Godparents, MAMA & PAPA and Biaobiao & Pangpang & Weiwei, my Godbrothers. I remember how my Godparents doted on me so much that they would buy FISH for me to eat and feed me YAKULT everyday and
忽略 their own sons.
I remember how i always got
caned by my mother for mis-behaving and how i would sometimes secretly hide the cane so that she couldn't find it. I remember how i would write "
PUT MONEY INSIDE" on a big plastic bag and tie it to a string and then let it out of the window. I remember how someone put 5 cents inside and a note saying, $1000000.
I remember how in kindergarden i was known as the
LIONESS, who had super curly hair that looked like a mane and a reknowned
super bad temper. I remember how when the autistic kid in my class bit my hand for no reason and how i flared up and bit his neck till he started to bleed. How my parents were called to kindergarden and how the principal apologised to them for the autistic's kid behaviour.
HEY! He was the one who bit my first afterall. I remember how after that incident, we became good friends and how we would
hold hands and he would call me 姐姐.
And then, I remember Jun Jie. I remember how the class made him the KING and how we would always praise him and say that he was
SO STRONG that when he snapped his fingers, the earth would move. How he was my four years dance partner in kindergarden and how in primary school, during chinese class when everybody was supposed to sit on the floor, only me & Jun Jie were allowed to sit at the tables together. I guess you were what we could call
青梅竹马.
I remember during bathing times how the girls would
勾勾手 with the boys and say that they were not supposed to peek at each other.
(And how i always broke it. LOL.) How everybody would work together to put the matteress back into the cupboard after nap time. How nice the food tasted and how i always enjoyed the deserts.
I remember when
Ah guang came to live at our house when he was in Pri 5 and how i was very scared of him at first cause he was in EM3 and always got into fights, even with secondary school people. I remember how my 三舅 didn't know what else to do with him and left my mother, the child discipliner, to take care of him and turned him into a good person
whom i really came to like.
I remember when i would sit outside Sissy & his bedroom at night because they always talked about alot of things before they went to sleep, even with the lights out. They slept on double decker beds, queen-size below & single-size above. I remember how i would get
insanely jealous because i wasn't included in their talks, because they were of the same age and had alot more in common. I remember how i would
climb into Ah guang's queen-sized bed every morning and sleep with him.How when the three of us were left at home, we would take out a
GHOST story book and Ah guang & I would
SNUGGLE up beside Sis on the sofa and she would translate it from English to Chinese to us for she was the only one who was able to read English properly then. How we would blast music on the stereos and sing, or try to differentiate between the
翻版 & 正版 CD's. How we played the castle game with UNO blocks. How we would play so so so many stupid and silly games, draw & talk.
I remember how we used to go to the
ZOO at least twice a month and Daddy would always bring his camcorder and take videos of us. I remember how I will look back at these 100+++ videos which have recoreded my childhood to the current me and reminisce about those FUNNY times. I remember Mami would be in charge of taking the photos, so i have a whole
STACKBOX of photos from my 1st month till now.
THATS ALOT YOU KNOW. Hmm... Should i find time to post them up?
I remember how in Pri 6 i still had a very
暴躁脾气. For example, when someone made my angry, i would think of all kind of methods to have my revenge on him. Which included printing out disgusting facts about him and passing them around for the whole class to see, stealing his water bottle when he didn't notice and fill it up with toilet water, sending death threats to his e-mail and much much more. MUAHAHAHA~!
And then i think about how much i've changed since i entered secondary school. Maybe because i rebonded my hair. Because 很多人说, "
People with curly hair have a bad temper", and since i straightened it, my temper got better. LOL.
But, those were the times...
SO many memories but still much much more...
I don't care about what other people have to say but, i feel like i've really had the PERFECT childhood. I couldn't ask for more...
