It's amazing to look back and see every detail of that moment, at that particular time and see the change. Whether that change is in parts of the home or even a person. I've used a yellow tinted effect on these images to show how it's dated like the very picture I'm holding itself.

Back in the day is a journey of what home was at that point in time. During those moments, my family was not looking for anything better. 

Every moment captured, showed that we were more than content with what we had and who we had those moments with.]]> 2023-08-17 15:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664896225 213862h2 https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664898806 This was in the hallway of my home. It was the first time I wore an Indian outfit. Clearly I was happy about it. Back in the day I was always conscious about how I smiled. Therefore I always tried to cover my mouth when I did smile. ]]> 2023-08-17 15:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664898806 213862h2 https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664900389 This was a picture of my mom and my cousins. I wasn't born at that point in time, so my mom always treated my cousins like her own, she still does, till this day.]]> 2023-08-17 15:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664900389 213862h2 https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664903112 It's amazing we still have the same looking gate and set on panels. Usually things would change, but not everything has to change. This part of my house is where we would always invite people in, and always take a picture with them before they left the house. This was taken with my cousin, my mom, and little me. Clearly I was not ready for the picture...]]> 2023-08-17 15:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664903112 213862h2 https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664907103 As a kid, the kitchen was my favourite place. Even now, the midnight snacks is always ready for me....

I was always liked my objects to be bright in colour. It could be in any colour, but the shade had to be the brightest.

That bottle I was holding, was one my favourites. I always saw that bottle as Barney, a cartoon character I loved watching growing up. 

One of the thing I remembered was lugging that bottle around wherever I went.]]> 2023-08-17 15:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664907103 213862h2 https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664909922 I was a kid that loved to go to the playground at 5pm. No earlier and no later. I had no idea why, but 5pm was always engraved in my brain that it's playground time.

I wanted to have fun at the right time... yeah I was a weird kid.

I always need a toy on hand. Doesn’t  matter what, I just needed a toy to hold. I wasn't old enough to play with those toy guns with bullets, so I was given a water gun.

Real fun....]]> 2023-08-17 15:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664909922 213862h2 https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664914479 Clearly I wanted to be so many things growing up...

I loved cycling and I absolutely loved yellow. So clearly this was my attachment.

I loved wearing swimming goggles and a cap. Please don't ask me why, I had no idea, I was weird kid.

But I loved my weirdness. I love that about myself looking back. 

Can't expect everybody to love your quirks, as long as you love them, that's all that matters.]]> 2023-08-17 15:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664914479 213862h2 https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664917150  Told you I love yellow. I adored Mickey Mouse growing up. It was the show that kept on playing in my home. I needed every merch from that show. Shoes, hats, you name it!

I was convinced that I was a Mickey Mouse mascot.]]> 2023-08-17 15:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664917150 213862h2 https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664920495 I adored this basket growing up. There was something about it. I felt like that was my actual home, cuz I could fit in it!

Everybody who carried me and placed me in there, honestly got my love and affection. It was when they tried to get me out...things got out of hand...]]> 2023-08-17 15:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664920495 213862h2 https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664922339 I was an expressive kid growing up, still like to think I am still. Whenever a camera came by, looking at me, I'd always pose in with some form of action. I'd call this, "FREEZE, DON'T MOVE!"]]> 2023-08-17 15:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664922339 213862h2 https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664924549 Very fittingly, the last picture is the last public holiday of the year, and one my most favourite seasons till this day.  CHRISTMAS!

My mom always loved decorating the tree and loved taking a family picture with the tree at the backdrop. This was one of my favourite family pictures ever. 

I've always seen her as all the family I would need and that I will ever need.]]> 2023-08-17 15:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/213862h2/Bookmarks/wish/2664924549
