of little people & carefree-ness
charlie is really a shy one. so i was quite surprised to see him dancing away with the girls in this picture. maybe he's shy bcos he's the only boy in the group. he never calls me despite having a mobile. says he forgot my number. what a heartbreaker.
drew is the im-game-for-anything type. she doesnt feel shy at all & goes around the house dressed in whatever was featured in this year's school concert. sometimes it's a garishly-pink-tutu-type-fairy-dress, sometimes its a green indian lengha. it's nice to see kids like this. confident in her own skin. she'll join in a dance performance despite the fact that shes actually part of the audience & not the performer, this one.
lucy. now lucy has an almost adult self-consciousness. its true. you know how adults won't do certain things bcos we worry about how others would look at us, right? like me, i malu to go up & sing in front of people. ahhh, lucy here is like that lah. however, shes the assertive one in the group. the lady boss. she has a tough outer shell but is a softie inside. she lives far far away & apparently according to her mama, everytime she returns home from a visit to malaysia, she'll sit in a corner crying cos she misses her family here. poor soul.
cameron is the youngest in this picture. shes got a rocker-type voice. hehehe. shes very entertaining simply bcos shes so teeny but she has the biggest voice & is the most vocal. she fought with a 30-year old guy & told him "sia magic ko jadi harimau!!". hehehe. she just moved here from sabah & is feeling lonely. i should go visit her one of these days.
i remember yesteryears (which wasnt too long ago) when i used to do "young" things with my brothers & cousins without a care in the world. pretend we're kungfu fighters. climb over my mum's white picket fences & get rips on our dresses (the girls lah, not the boys). go traipsing into the hutan belukar to look for biji getah (rubber seeds) & hearing scary animal grunts. trapping colorful dragonflies in our jam jars till mum threatened to fry them & feed them to us. catching frogs in the rain. climbing guava trees. making mudcakes with our saliva (euww i know but thats what we did!! whats euww-er is that the boys always came & destroyed our mudcakes by throwing it at each other. THEY didnt know what made the tanah soft & malleable hahaha!!).
so nice to reminisce. i hope the world doesnt change too much that kids these days & in days to come dont get a chance to do these things in their childhood. although of course the world has already changed. it used to be a safer place kan. now, everyone is rightfully paranoid. so sad.
ok im done for today. tomorrow is merdeka day --fiddy years of independence & we get only one day off . ciss.
off to brazil now.
