When I was just a little girl with my Cousins

When I was just a little girl, I always listen to what my eldest Sis and Jin Cher, being the eldest daughter in Tan's second generation. Whatever both of them said, we'll listen and follow. I remembered once we lock ourselves with my eldest Sis, Jin Cher, my 2nd Sis, Hun and me in a room at my Grandma's house at Jalan TAR. That time heavy rain and lots of thunder. Jin Cher and my eldest Sis will watch from the window and once they saw the thunder, both of them will run to us and ask us to cover our whole body. As if not and if kena by the thunder, all our hair will be gone and I really believe it and faster cover ourselves once got instruction by both them them. Ha ha ha... Looking back and recalling back the memories will always made me smile...
My Cousins
Even though we were Chinese, we love to play wayang kulit also. Off the light, go under the bed, cover it with the blanket and use the torch light to shine. Jin Cher and my eldest Sis will hide under the bed and we'll be the audience to watch the show. I really enjoyed the show as it was fun. We laugh we laugh and we laugh. Ha ha ha...
My 8th Aunt and Jin Cher
We were quite naughty that time as we always bully my cousin, Yoong who is same age with me when she was small. Hope she can't remember it. Ha ha ha... She always cried and will not mix with us to play. We pick her up and throw her to the bed together and running everywhere so that we won't get caught. Yoong, sorry ya if you had read this and we did not did it purposely. Ha ha ha...

Maybe being the youngest in the family, Yoong quite pampered that time. Not sure anyone still remembered it...

Jan's and Xian's family
My Mom took care of Jan and Xian when they were just babies. When Jan reached my home at about 3 months, if not mistaken, I found her very dark . Maybe because that time she had an Indian nanny before my Mom took over. Ha ha ha... Jan been with us for almost 5 years. I learned my English language from her as her parents spoke to her in English. I remember the first word was "tollgate". Jan always sats on the walker and I always wave goodbye to her from my school bus. I got lots of titbits from Jan's Mom as whenever 6th Aunt came and visit her only daughter by bus, she'll brought some tit bits to us and ask us to took good care of Jan. A mother's love... Jan is like my Sister and part of my family and she still very closed to us...
My Mom and my beautiful Aunties
Xian with us for only a few months but I treat him like my son when I was a teenager. Even though after he back to his parents house, I'll always hug him once I saw him and really miss him dearly. Now he had grown up to be a photographer. We might not as close as before but the memories were always there...
Every Sunday from morning till night, we always went to my Grandma's house. Our parents play mahjong, we play our own. Running here and there and watching movie. During ghost month at the parking there, someone will play movie from the white cloth and we took our chairs to watch it. During merdeka month or whenever there is a parade, we'll go down from my Grandma's house to watch it together. Srabble, congkak, "kejar-kejar", hide and seek were always our favourite game...
My 2 Little Angels with their cousins
When I think back all our silly things, it'll always made me laugh and made my life happier. To my 5 Little Angels, enjoy your childhood time now and when all of you grow older, the fond memories will always bring the cheer in your life. Stop playing Ipad or smartphone as when times passed, you can't go back again. Cherish everyone in your life as each and everyone is very important to made your life complete. To all my uncles, aunties and cousins, my apologies to all of you if anything I had done hurt anyone feelings. Hope all of you had enjoyed reading my write up about my past experience being with all of you when I was just a little girl. Lets be united as One Tan Family. United We Strong...
