私、子供の時。

I remembered that I stayed with an Indonesian maid when I was small. So, I started to pick up Malay at an early age, continue by picking up Cantonese with my mum, English with my dad, Malay with my brother, Mandarin with my school mates and when I'm 15 years old, Hakka with my best friend. I'm quite proud of myself at language ability especially Chinese cause I know how to speak and listen but not write. Everyone's quite surprised. Looking back when my mum forced me to attend a Chinese class when I was in Primary 4 I was hugging this pillar in front of my house crying while my maid try to persuade me and pull me to go to class. I still remember my childhood friend, a Malay girl and his little brothers and sisters. We always played 'lompat tali' and 'lumba lari' together with 'kaki ayam'. And there's another Bumiputra friend, S, who's quite rich where we always share our Doraemon comic together and spent the whole day only at his garden playing hide and seek ended up being bitten by dozens of mosquitoes. And the most fun of all, to play prank around the neighbourhood. So much fun there was, but to really find a sweet family memory, quite tough. My mum works from 12pm-12am.My dad's always outstation. My brother? Of course go find girlfriend la. So, I spent most of my time with my Indonesian maid and watch Indonesian horror movie with her. The only time I enjoyed quality family time is on Sunday. Sometimes even without my dad. Go to pasar pagi and have breakfast with my mum and my aunt then afternoon follow my mum for her mahjong session at my aunt's house. Quite boring actually so I actually extended my own social network by getting to know my aunt's neighbour. That's quite a part of my primary school's life. Oh ya, I remembered an event when I was in kinder garden, in the manhole there's a lot of tadpoles after it rains. So during our recess we would be outside at the garden to play around the playground. My favourite activities was to catch the tadpoles and put it into my friends shirt (mostly girls: cause they hate the slimy and yucky feeling) and I'll end up in the disciplinary board for misbehave. Huh~so much for my childhood~teehee~~ (^v^)v
