A Moment in Time

When I came to America,

I brought along 2 suitcases of things, and among them was this picture of me when I was about 2 1/2 years old and still staying in the "old" house, which was an old chinese shophouse converted into a home.

The picture was taken in our kitchen ( the only one not in the picture would be my dad, who was behind the lens ) during lunch and it was Valentine's day 1974. We finally moved to a new house in a different part of town in 1986 but I have so many memories of this humble home, but those stories in later posts...

I am 3 years older than my mom was when that picture was taken
Joanna, our oldest sister, was 4 and a 1/2,
Carter, our brother would not be born for another 3 years
Jumbled Mind would not be born for another 6 years,

I love looking at pictures. I have a question-- probably a dumb on-- what language is mainly spoken in Malaysia?

letti said...

Raven: That was an adopted aunt! *smiles*

Tara & Kerri & Jin: Yup..had to leave a lotta stuff behind..only 2 suitcases.

Hannah: Well, the 3 main ethnic groups in malaysia are Malay,Chinese and Indian and so all 3 languages as well as an assortment of dialects are spoken. And English, of course :) Malay language is the national language though, and everyone has to learn that in school, along with English.
