a jog down memory lane

I had a great dinner last Wednesday and we had a chat about our childhood. It reminded me of great many things which took place when I was little, and not so little; like:

how I was amazed with hot air balloons and contemplated jumping off from our balcony with an open umbrella. I was about 4; or

how my brother always managed to trick me into thinking that he genuinely wanted me to do the fun things he was in the midst of, but of course, he would have already thought of ways to trick me and ultimately bully me; or

how I got in the lift alone when I was 5, too short and too busy bawling to press the floor button or to do anything clever (but I was rescued by a room service guy); or

how I loved and looked forward to the Lego sessions I get to do whenever Mom does her shopping; or

how I got a cut on my thigh climbing a school fence cutting school with my then best friend with her brother. I was 8. I still have the scar until now; or

how initially I could only ride the bicycle without trainer wheels on surfaces with grass and if I moved onto somewhat smooth surface I would immediately lose my balance; or

how I enjoyed camping in our lawn until my brother decides to 'accidentally' snip the tip of my cat's ear and the literally bleeding cat came running into the tent. Of course I screamed in horror. Mom thought he cut my ear; or

how I passed out falling right into a drain from an open ole-skool window unable to contain my excitement of seeing my first non-zoo monkey;

I now see my nephew and he is every bit as naughty as his dad. I thank God he doesn't have a little sister :)

Back to that dinner. I learnt that a certain someone's face was on fire while on a drinking binge... muwahahaaaa.. I hurt my cheeks laughing!
