So, in celebration of the impending month of Ramadhan and at the end of it, Hari Raya, I have decided to put up this very, very old picture of my family before all the new additions (i.e. Hafiz, Nur Diyanah and Sabrina or the three little piglets as I like to tease them). Basically my cousins and I were all born with in a very close span of time and it’s just amusing to see us all so small (and in my case, so very grumpy).
I’m sitting next to my grandfather and behind me are my mum and dad (I really have no idea why he’s wearing green by the way) and the fetching girls on either side of them in yellow and in red are my two older sisters.
Wow, I can’t believe I was.. four years old in that picture (taking in mind that my birthday is on the last day of the year you see.)
This picture was taken in front of my house and it hasn’t changed one bit by the way… we even use that same furniture. The grass still looks the same, the porch… even the curtains. Actually several things haven’t changed despite of the MAJOR changes that have obviously taken place within the span of the span fifteen years. My dad still has that very irritating moustache… and my mum looks like she hasn’t aged a day from then.
Ah well. This picture is bittersweet to me… but I’m sure all old pictures are like that for everyone I guess. Still.
