Memory lane

We found a bunch of our old home videos the other day, ones from when I was just a baby and older, like 6 and so.

They made me think about when I was much. much younger. and all these werid random memories i have of when I was just a kid. Isn't it weird how some things can really stand out and others just sort of fade into history? There are some moments I can recall with total clarity and and others I can't remember at all, even when people tell me about it. I'm just like "no, I swear that never happenned to me, you must have the wrong person."

Surprisingly there were some moments that no one in our family had seen before, because we left the camera on the tripod and were doing other things. Like there was this video where my brother was just a baby, and he was trying to break out. My mum catches him, and she pushes the fence back in place and moves a chair on wheels to secure it. Suddenly, the keyboard on the chair falls and the keys come off, so she rushes over to pick it up. And then my brother, while she's picking the keys and putting them back together, pushes the chair and pulls the gate. He then looks at my mum, makes a noise, and realises she isn't turning around. He squeezes past the gate and makes a run for freedom. Luckily my mum notices and jumps the fence, grabs him and then stands in front of the gate for the rest of the day.

My brother is really cheeky.

There also was this video of my kindy christmas performance. I distinctly recall i was asked by my teacher to play Mary, so I was the only kid in the grade to get a solo.

I think I got the performing bug since then :p

But it was a really big moment, when she asked me. I still remember it haha.

Do you guys have any significant moments from your childhood you can really distinctly remember? Most of mine are weird moments, like when i was 4 and i told my mum i really liked celery when i saw it at the shops, so she bought it for me and i hated it. haha.

We got a bunch of vinyl records the other day, and my dad bought a vinyl/cassette to mp3 convertor online for $100. It's really cool, we've been playing the records all day. :) Currently my sister is in love with Andy Williams. I have to say, his voice is super seductive. The lyrics are all really beautiful :)You might have heard of him anyway. Moon River is his most famous song, but i personally love "It might as well be spring." But i can't find it on the internet at all.

Which is slightly annoying.

So I can only link Moon River, which is nice, but "It might as well be spring" is beautiful.

Hrm I can find another version though. But his version is the best.

(just searched youtube and couldn't find another male singer version. Female version is nice, but it doesn't have the same 'melt' atmosphere. There is this modern jazz version i found here, which is almost as good, in a completely different way. It starts at about 1 minute in.)

I think i love the lyrics the most.

We actually went out and bought his "greatest all times hits" at JB on sunday when we went shopping, just because it was on sale. We were listening to it in the car.


Listening to them, I really kind of wish I was born in the 1950s, so I could be a teen in the 1960s. :)

I was born in the wrong generation.

Then I could be one of those crazy 60's rockers in the a-line dresses doing crazy twist dances like in those Cliff Richard and Elvis movies I watched as a kid.

Can you touch your toes? - Yes, just.
Can you whistle? - Yes! I love songs with whistling, it just makes it that much cooler.

Can you wiggle your ears? - No, i think people who can are awesome though. Haha i read in this book when i was a kid that only red head could wiggle their ears. Or a greater percentage of red heads can wiggle their ears, i forget

Although my Grandpa bought me a bib when i was a baby that said "future doctor" on it. HAHAHAHA HOW ASIAN IS THAT????? I saw it on the baby videos and i laughed so hard.
 
Did you ever want to be a fire fighter? - Nope. Although I agree, if i was a boy, i might have seen the attraction of it. But i always like fire, even as a kid. I'm a bit of a pyro. I liked to steal matches and light them in the bathroom with the fan on, cause fire is pretty. (I actually have a box of matches on my study table.)

Do you believe in God?  - Yes
Do you know how to swim? - Yeah, I did squad when i was younger, and i finished Bronze medallion when we did survival swim course.

Do you own a bike? – Yes, although i don't ride it much. haha.
Do you like fried rice? – I think it's not really asian if you don't. Although what i noticed at multicultural food fair in history in year 10, was that all families eat different kinds of fried rice. They all do it differently.

Have you ever gone skinny dipping? – No, but i think it'd be kinda fun to do it at night alone in some random river in a woodsy place. I'd feel like a naiad.
