MY CHILDHOOD @ LIM CHU KANG

i was considered very lucky to be able to experience the KAMPONG/village life for 7 years before i moved to flats. guess now such chances are very very rare for the younger generations as Singapore has become so urbanized.

 
 

my older sis & me

we had a fruit plantation where we grow our own rambutans, durians and papayas...

my mom would climb up to the tree, plucked the rambutans & the 3 of us would collect the rambutans that she threw down

 

 

  
my grandma reared pigs...i loved the piglets but hated the big black ugly boar... grandma, big cousin & older sis(the child)    
 
my mom & sis & our dogs
 we had dogs as well...    
 
my sis & I on the motorbike
 as children, we always like to act like adults...so we sat on motorbikes and cars that the adults drove
 
anything that was under the sun can be our toys
 my brother on a cart    
 
me outside our house with a finished packet of crackers
 KAMPONG life was very fun...my house had a huge front space which was converted to a badminton court so we could play badminyon all day    
 

i remembered i always tagged along with my sister & brother to catch fishes in the drain and spiders.

 

my sis & i

 

    
 
sometimes the older ones were really irritated by me...but they still adore me
 pacifier    
 

that's me

 & that's my childhood story
