Memory reformatted

I'm suffering from childhood memory loss, is it dissociative amnesia??

Yesterday while watching a girl being scalded on the TV drama, my sister casually remarked I had a similar accident when I was young. And I could not recall a thing. After she has mentioned it, I was trying hard to dig back into my memories... I vaguely recalled a very short scene (well I could imagine I guess), but nothing else besides that. What happened to my childhood?

The time I was a baby till 5 years old, I can very certainly say I don't have any memory at all. From my kindergarten days till my school days, I do have a very faded memory, mostly comprising of my friends in school and some incidents that happened in school. Any accident at home or anything else, they aren't stored in my head.

When I watched Flo's childhood video the last time, somehow it triggered me to find back my childhood memory. But it didn't come back. I reckon I need to take more pictures and videos for my children next time!

Sour Coffee

I grew up drinking coffee, now I can't brew a good cup myself! Arghhhh... Maybe the ones I had are all 3-in-1, and I haven't had a proper cup of brewed coffee for years (count out those at coffee house/ club/ shop). I can recall having it everyday when I was in primary school, later on the habit ceased due to my knowledge of caffeine. Funny! Today, I had some sweet bread for lunch which goes well with coffee. So I just thought I shall brew one. I looked at those white powder, coffee powder and sugar... can't figure how much of it to add!! Crap!

Idol is wearing glasses today, somehow he looks like a very serious businessman. Very decent, very g**, very different.

Po-ta-to under twelve

The little po-ta-to when she was young, was a shy doll. Big eyes, straight long black hair, short fringe, like colorful dresses and very polite (or has taught to be). Then she grew up a little more violent with all the small fights with sister and cousins (boys). She displayed an amazingly outburst of energy in hide-and-seek and video/ arcade games. In school, she loved PE lessons but hated running around the fields. Childhood asthma made her so sick but never could bring her down. She grew up and away from it, but was still a good excuse to skip running lessons. Haa.

At seven, she detested a teacher because she did not let her go to the restroom. How can a little girl taught to hold her pee back! She enjoyed schooling, having lot of friends, spending lunch break in the bookshop buying useless pretty stuffs. Mum always picked her up, but she got used later to walking home with classmates. Mum was always playing mahjong, she had to follow along after school, doing homework over at strangers' home. She made a few friends through these but never really got used to their company.

In class, she was thrilled everytime she got picked as a leader. She liked to lead but never in full control and so being well-liked by everyone. She never once raised her hand to answer a question though I knew she wanted to. She fought with a guy once because she was bullied. Now thinking of it, I think that was courageous even if she had lost to the bully. During class, she came to aid of a shy guy who got bullied by girls. But she also showed she could be a bully sitting besides a lazy bum whom wouldn't do his homework.

She loves mathematics and chinese. Chinese teacher was very strict though, he would hit you on the head if you crossed or shaked your legs. English was always fun but our form teacher whom taught us sucked at it. He was good at scratching his feet and slapping the naughty boys. She learned computer as an ECA so she could play the computer games (ok, educational ones!). She had a few best mates but they got stolen and replaced by even better ones. Not a bad deal eh!
