If memory served me right, I’m positively sure that this photo is taken either during CNY season or during house visits to one of our relatives. As for the decor and arrangement of the furniture, I would dare deduce that I don’t like this particular relative. Why? Everytime we go to her house during CNY [...]

I dare assure you all, before there were 3 Musketeers, 5 Muskeeters and a toddler had already existed in Singapore. A recap on who’s who once again, with new characters to boot. At the back row, from left to right is my mother (with short cropped hair) followed by one of my aunties (my grandfather’s [...]

This was taken just before my grandfather turned 70, if I’m not wrong. I’m on the left and the other little baby toddler is one of my uncle’s daughter. We were born in the same year but months apart though. I know I looked a little blur in expression but still nonetheless cute still. This [...]

Memories of my Grandfather: Part 8

From a young age, I was already “fashion-conscious”. Pretty dress? Check. Umbrella for protection from the weather? Check. Pink shoes for a lady? Check. Beautiful pose? Check. My grandfather smiling in the background? Check. That’s why I’m telling you all, I’m a trend-setter from young. This is honed through dressing up prettily and seeing my [...]

Memories of my Grandfather: Part 7

Nuff said. Regular readers should know them by the 7th post of Memories of my Grandfather. My grandfather is on the left and my mother is standing on the right. I believe this isn’t a posed photo as it doesn’t give me that kind of feeling. But somehow, I find this photo very good, almost [...]

Memories of my Grandfather: Part 5

Yes, we were being cajoled into singing a birthday song. And no, I was only clapping along to the birthday song sang by my uncle (grandfather’s eldest son who is seen clapping his hands here). He was like, “Sing Happy Birthdy”, and I started to clap along. And as he carried on singing, the three [...]

Memories of my Grandfather: Part 4

This picture was taken just before we cut the birthday cake. The baby that my grandfather was holding? That’s my younger brother and apparently, it looked like he was more amused by my cousin instead of the camera. This was quite a difficult shot as my brother kept fidgeting and making so much noise and [...]

Memories of my Grandfather: Part 3

Here, you can see my grandfather giving out red packets (ang pow) on his birthday. And he’s giving one to his eldest son and creepily enough, I always seemed to be included in every shot too! The lady which my grandfather had just passed is my uncle’s (grandfather’s eldest son) daughter. Really ungrateful mother and [...]

Memories of my Grandfather: Part 2

 While my grandfather was cutting his cake, a lot of thoughts and emotions went through my head. One moment I was thinking if I would be able to celebrate my grandfather’s birthdays forever, the next moment I was thinking will this happiness end one day unexpectedly? To be brutally honest, I almost felt like crying [...]
