Baby Foo

I is Baby Foo, obviously. :)  

I managed to find quite a few numbers of my childhood photos in my old album back home. Those photos are reproduced using Canon S3, the quality aint that good. Some are OK, some are not. If I have scanner when I was back in Bagan Serai, I swear I will have at least hundreds of photos of me! :)

So, this is me.

 

  

I have heaps of photo of me and mum. Mum loves photo (and sweet memories) !! She took heaps of photos of us! I believe I inherit this particular DNA code from her. Erm, If I have a chance, I will scan our WHOLE family album.

 

 

With mum again. Mum doesn’t seem to change much since many years ago except she no longer wear this humungous glasses ;)

 

 

I can’t believe the baby is ME! Do I? Did I? Grow up sooooo much?

With grandpa.

I was the first and the only daughter of my parents, and grandchild of both maternal and paternal grandparents. Naturally, I kena (was) spoilt like no-body-business. I am lucky enough that my family members are not those ol’ days typical traditional Asians who favor male more than female. Lagi!! I kena spoilt BIG TIME lah!! :)

So, you can tell why I am so spoilt and ‘manja’.

With my late grandpa — he was one of my role models in my family. He taught me lotsa things when I was young. Not those ABC, 123 thing. It was all about the grown-up fink–social, politic etc.  He told me it was going to be useful in my future. Sadly, I only realised their usefulness these years.

 

 

Told you! I was spoilt big time! My family members had my 1st birthday party for me. Alas! These adults ah! Enjoying themselves only lah! :P

Can you spot a young dude wearing a white shirt, standing behind mum? it is my dad!!! He was and he is still a handsome man!

 

 

My childhood friends –Xing Jun, Siew Hwa, Ting Ting. Xing Jun supervised me in debate competition when I was in high school. She is very inspiring. Siew Hwa, nickname Ah Gal whom I spent PLENTY of my childhood time with her. She was our baby sitter’s relative, we used to love together too!   

 

 

My aunty who is now mother of two little cute boys. Remember Kit Chai and Zi Tao

 

 

 I was a tom-boy head when I was young. And I am still one. :)

 

 

I love this little elephant top! So much of a ’character’ 

 

 

My uncle (mum’s youngest brother). He is a smart-ass and very brainy too.  

 

  

 

 

With my aunty (mum’s sister). We were (and are) very close. When I was young, she treated me like a baby, a young lady who knew nothing. But now hey! All my aunties (include dad’s sister) are my GIRLFRIENDS!  We talk about everything!

 

 

I can’t believe I ‘did’ this!! Lift the skirt half way and pose for the camera. So gurly! ;)  

 

 

At Taiping Lake. 

 

 

With my brother in Teluk Intan (Anson) where my late grandma’s hometown was.  

 

 

most of my dad’s sibling were in Teluk Intan when I was young. I didn’t get to see them so often. But I am glad we all are closely bonded nowadays.

Beside my family members in Bagan Serai, I will make effort to contact my uncles, aunties and grandaunty all over Penang, KL and The States. *Family is very very important to me.*

 

 

 

Grooooowing up. 

 

 

in four years time… me a little gal. 

 

 

 And I guess this is when I was 5,6?

 

 

the growing-up process is so unreal, me think.

:)

    When I looked at my photos from “those days”, I would be like, “Omg… is this really me?!?!”

    Hehe.

    Dig those groovy tinted shades!! Man, your mom was cool! I can’t believe you were such a toddler even in 1986! Love the metal swings! Every home must have one wan! I wonder if the craze is still around. Can’t say I’ve noticed any around.. not that I was looking.. I spent an entire summer scanning all my old pics too! LOL..

    My Ex-wife stole a lot of my childhood photos. Waaah! Court wouldn’t let me have them back either because in Australia, once peopel get married everything is jointly owned … so she had as much right to my childhood photos as me … which is STUPID!!!

    ‘He is a smart-ass and very brainy too.’

    Nothing wrong with being a brainy smart alec! :-)

    Anyway, cute photos. Only question now is how many of those girls are still single and what does their photo look like now! lol

    ang-goo-goo, baby foo! those are pretty cool photos. that one of you in mickey mouse overalls and on the ratan sofa, reminds me of me when I was young, lol! one day I’ve gotta go home and scan all of mine, before they all get eaten up by silverfish or termites, or just get lost somewhere.

  8. flower on 26 Jun 2007 at 5:16 pm

    Wah you as a baby and you as a big baby still sama perangai ye. I didnt know you personally but from this photos I can see you as you, whether masa baby or masa tidak baby lagi.

  9. Choonie on 26 Jun 2007 at 6:11 pm

    wow… down the memory lane. Glad you have so many nice pics of your young days… and a big family you have there. I have been to Teluk Intan and Bagan Datoh. Not sure about Bagan Serai.
    Btw, I have a Canon S3 too. I am not good with it yet. Can I ask for advice from you?

  10. Cynthia on 26 Jun 2007 at 10:52 pm

    day dreamer: Yeah LOH!!! I also got that feeling! so unbelieveable right?

    LB: I had only few days in Bagan Serai…I didn’t to spend ALL. sigh. But yeah, I will definitely do it again if I get to go back after 2 years.

    wuching: i think all the babies are cute..not until they are grown up. When they are adult, they are all noti-noti. I am an exception thou. Me is cute, yet superb eeeeevil!! =P *face skin very de thick*

    dab: WHAAAAAT? *eyes open wide, jaw drops on the floor* You must be kidding me. HELLO! Just those childhood photos! Not even CASH!! *slap forehead*

    May: yeah, these are all precious photos. I am so scared that they all will be thrown away by my family especially I don’t go home often. Ah well you know, when the gals left home or marry else where.. their future (or faith) is like a bucket of water being poured out from the house ;) If you know what I mean. *smile*

    cookenegr: me still like that??? *happy* I take that as a compliment. Tonight kenot sleep liaw. =)

    winn: that one eh? serisouly..i cant believe i DID that. im such a tomboy

    kak flower: you are right thou.. my dad said so too. He thinks I havent change much in certain perangai, like my kepoh-ness, talkactive, manja. Whereas my mum think I smile all the time since I was a baby. Yeah, I always smile, dont know why. Mum said I look pretty when I smile, and I look like ‘hantu’ when I cry. So, I am determined to smile for my mum and everyone..make them smile and happy too! is that what you see in me? :)

    choonie: Bagan Serai is a small place. Not much ppl know, i think. I think Canon S3 is abit hard to use too. I am so use to A80..but yeah, if you have any questions, you can ask. I have Kian here..he is good at my camera. =P can share share knowledge ya?

  11. flower on 27 Jun 2007 at 11:46 am

    Yes, manja dan sentiasa senyum. Tak lupa jugak suka aksyen2 dpn kamera. Pandai bergaya.

  12. AceOne118 on 27 Jun 2007 at 6:35 pm

    Woah! chubby cute baby! Hug-hug!

  13. Dabido (Teflon) on 27 Jun 2007 at 8:20 pm

    She didn’t take them for the cash value. She took them as a way to hurt me. She said she wanted to destroy my past so that I had none.
    I wasn’t even allowed to keepany photos from our marriage. None! She took them all.

    It’s like wiping out more than nine years of my life, as there is no record of anything. Only memories which exist are in my brain!!! No photos of much at all, except a few she didn’t realised I had. [Which is funny, as I have some of her and her best friend Cindy].

  14. Bernard on 27 Jun 2007 at 10:41 pm

    Cute baby! :-)

  15. Cynthia on 29 Jun 2007 at 12:23 am

    kak flower: the gaya bit..im not sure weather is taught or is in the gene?

    uncel aceone118: choo-bih leh?

    bernard: I think ALL babies are cute. I haven’t seen much ugly babies around. ;)
