Just something more...

On the afternoon of 15 July 1993, I was carried out of my Mummy's womb by the Doctor of Mt Alvernia Hospital. I was only 8 months old when I came into this world. I wasn't allowed to be carried to full term because my mum had to go through a C-section. My mum said my eyes were huge and I had a lot of hair on my head. This is a photo of we after I came back from the hospital. Mummy said I wasn't even a month old yet. THE AMOUNT OF HAIR I HAVE IS SCARY. I could totally imagine myself being a baby shampoo model. I'm just joking.. heez.


The photo below showed me when I was about 4 months old. MY HAIR STANDS NATURALLY. Wasn't I adorable. I didn't know why I was biting my own lips. The photo was taken at my Grandma's place because she took care of me right from birth. 



The photo below was me on my first birthday. I look extremely happy here ^^ 


Here's another adorable photo of me. I love this photo the most. 


I have that two baby tooth at the bottom. 


This was taken about a month after my younger sister was born. Wells, I should be around 2 years old.  My dad looks handsome right? He's probably about 29 back then and I must emphasis... my eyes looked so big back than. But as my body grew, my eyes didn't grew with me D: 


I don't know what were in our minds backed then. Trying to show our shi ye xian? LOL. I think my nose kind of grew to be not so flat over the years. LOL. My nostrils used to be so obvious. Heez.

Anyways... 

My Grandma is an amazing woman. She gave birth to 5 kids of her own and took care of all her grandchildren. I was the third grandchild she had and she took care of the my cousins and I all together. My cousins weren't much older than I am. One is 3 years older, the other was 5. On top of handling the three of us, she cooked for the family. Can you imagine how much she had to handle? The three of us weren't the most obedient kids around. I guess it only got better when my cousins started going to school and the house was more peaceful. 

I talked to my Grandma a few weeks back and she was recalling the times she had to take care of the 4 of us (after my sister was born, she was only 2 years younger than I am). 

She said that there was this time when she brought my two elder cousins and I to the market and told us specifically to stay at a spot to wait for her. My cousins took me and hide in a boutique shop under the racks of clothes. I totally couldn't recall this incident >.< My Grandma came back and couldn't find us. She panicked and walked around the whole market looking for us. Thinking we could have gone home on our own, she went home once as well. It was not long after that my cousins decided to come out of hiding, cause we were too bored hiding. She was so relieved to find us walking out, and at the same time so mad at us because the reason for us to go into hiding was to let her find us. How adorable can we get?? Heez. 


My Grandma had to cook for the family and with the kids running around and risking them falling out of the window, my grandma came up with her own solution. She would leave us in the washing machine with TOYS. That was an amazing solution wasn't it? 


She had something similar to this, the lid on top. 

With us in the washing machine, we would be in her sight all the time and she could finish preparing dinner. She told me a funny incident... 

There was this day when she left one of my cousins in the washing machine, the lid was opened.  She prepared dinner and when she wanted to look for my cousin, she panicked. It had slipped her mind that she left her in the washing machine because the lid of the washing machine was closed. She went around the whole house looking for her only to find that my cousin was sitting in the washing machine and she had closed the lid herself. 
My sister was placed in the washing machine too. My mum did bought those beds for babies that were supposedly deep enough to keep her in. Nevertheless she managed to climb out and that meant.. she had to go into the washing machine. 

Here's a photo of my entire family maternal family. 

This was taken in 2012, without one of my cousin who was in Germany. 
AND with the 3 BFs. 
This one was in 2010, CNY Eve (If I'm not wrong)
