REMINISCE



It was a "tradition" in my family to had a photo taken when me and my siblings were 6yrs old, in our kindergarten wear. Mine was, of course..in black and white. Mom had it printed enlarged and framed, and hanged on the wall in sequence,...the eldest to the youngest respectively. The frames are not the same. You can guess what year/erra was the photo taken by looking at the frames. Mine was obviously the most ancient!

I recently took it all down from the wall and had sent it for reshoot, edited and printed. It was all printed in black and white.

I still remember the day I took the photo shoot, way back in 1981. Taman Melawati had no photo studio at that time. Even the rubber plantation was still around at certain areas. The school transported us to Taman Bunga Raya by a chatered school bus. We had to take turns for the shoot. But I had a problem. They couldnt find a graduation hat that fits me. I then learned that my head is...BIG! (laughing out loud)

After several attemps, finally,.. a hat that's quite fits my "slightly" big head was successfully forced onto. My bestfriend, Miza was just the opposite. She has small oval head. The teachers couldn't stop giggling looking at both of us.

I was in the 2nd row, most left. Miza was in the front row 5th from left.
