a place where she always goes

was looking at childhood photos just now.
felt as though i was walking down memory lane.
looking at what had happened in the past and having fun reliving the memories.
since i was born, my parents took alot alot of photos. when i was just barely a toddler to the times when the few familes went to sentosa and genting for holidays and when my sis was born.. and the times we went to chinese garden during the lantern festival as one big family.. the memories were plain wonderful. and i must admit, i was a vainpot when i was young. very vain. very poser. cos i loved to pose. dont ask me why, maybe you could blame it on the acting classes i took when i was young. posed here there and everywhere. had fun keeping myself amused while looking at the pictures just now.
then i stumbled upon my mother's pictures. goodness she was damn chio. seriously damn pretty. my dad was indeed lucky to marry her. very lucky. not that my dad wasnt looking good, but looking at the two of them now..
my dad with his pot belly and my mum still in her beauty, of course i would like to tease my dad of being soooo wonderfully lucky la. grin. and he was amused to see that i had dug out his NS photo. he took the oblong photo, examined it and pronounced he couldnt find himself. grin. i couldnt too. it was sooo long ago my goodness.
then i came upon my mother's and father's marriage photos. the person who did makeup on my mum made a very baddd mistake by painting her white. as in, really, she looked very white. and my dad, being a harbour pilot and exposed to the sun, and being naturally soo tanned, looked like bitumen standing right beside my mum. i think i take after my dad. in terms of skin colour. grin. but my mum commented i take after my grandfather in terms of looks. eh okay. yeps.
then came upon kindergarten photos where i see myself standing beside elvin and elton. or rather, sandwiched between the two of them. grin. we used to be so close when we were young. sooo close. have plenty of pictures where the three of us were together, of course, with me sandwiched between the two brothers. maybe one reason would be our ages are only one year apart so yeah, maybe we were sooo close. elton usually took care of all of us, especially when alfred cheryl and my sis came along. yeah. he looked like the father taking care of soo many kids. and till now i still see the fatherly nature in him. he would make a good husband. anybody out there wanna get to know elton? grin. as for elvin, i have no idea why but we shared plenty of photos together. obviously when we were young and innocent la. of course we shunned them as we grew closer. but i hafta admit, he's one heck of a handsome young guy now la.. the only recent picture we took together was at his comissioning parade.. yeps. missed the times when we went to sentosa, genting and cruises together.. had tons of fun at the arcades when the older ones (i.e. the three of us) having to take care of the younger ones to avoid losing them..
miss the good old days of us being young and carefree..
and i need to admit, i look cute when i was young. very cute. grin.
fine. typical ego me.
lalalala.
