NOT THE PHOTOS BUT THE CAMERAS AND LAPTOP

Many stories are coming out from Japan about the victims of the Earthquake cum Tsunami.  One of the stories that I happened to read was that of a Japanese old man who ran back to his house to retrieve a photo album of his grandchildren.  Unfortunately, (I think) there was another quake and he was pinned down by a pillar or something.  See, he lost his life because he wanted to go retrieve some photos of his grandchildren. 
Aiyoh!  That got me thinking.  What if we have some form of disaster in Malaysia, would I run back home to get my photo album?  The answer is definitely NO.  I'd carry my cameras and laptop and run but not the photo albums.  Besides, I have posted a lot of photos of my family, friends and myself on the blog since 2006 for memory sake.
However, I have re-snapped some of the photographs in my photo album to store in cyberspace.  Enjoy looking at the photos of a very much younger me.
 Me at 3 years old.  Very cute, eh?

Hi Miss Cheah, you just proved true again the popular saying that Ipoh is the place that produces beauties.

Thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately, that was a looooong time ago. Now, old already.

Hi Miss Cheah, beauty exits in all phases of our lives, don't you think? What we give up along the way, we gain in other ways...like wisdom, "xing fu"...etc...yeah?

Hmm ... you are right but then as a lady, I sure want to look good either. No matter what age I may be. Very Kiasu and very tamaklah.
