Me… The Cheeky Little Boy
I was clearing my stuff few weeks ago and recovered some of my childhood photos… gosh… time really flies… and how much I have changed.
Looking back at these photos… I did realize that I was once a really cheeky little boy, who wants attention and very very daring.
You can see from here… one of it is taken with my elder brother and the other, my cousin, both of them older than I am.
Yes.. they are my very best childhood friend I would say.. as we were gap 1 year apart from each other, with my elder brother as the first, my cousin second, and me.. third.
Seriously… we shared a lot a lot of wonderful times together… and because they are older and wiser.. and I am the egoistic ones.. I always wanted to be on par with them… I guess that’s what motivated me to compete with them as I grew.
I can still remember very clearly an incident that probably best describe how naughty and cheeky I am as a kid…. GREEDY in a sense too.
Well… nobody shares really embarrassing stories… but these are memories… and should I grow senile one day.. at least it’ll still stay online forever… (now that’s scary… imagine reading a blog from a dead person 100 years from now =P)
I was about 4 or 5 years old back then… and really a greedy little boy. The 3 of us were staying at my grandma’s place and one day.. I happened to open the fridge and saw a bowl of logans or lychees. You know.. those can sweet desserts.
Greedy as I am.. I tried to have them all by myself.. and decided not to tell my 2 good buddies (brother and cousin). So.. I ate one of them… and gosh… it taste horrible.. and I mean.. really bad. At first thought… I believe they were expired… and as dismay as I am, I don’t want myself to suffer alone…
So I hatched a cruel plot and went to inform my brother and cousin that there are logans in the fridge ! Well.. you know how kids are.. both of them rush to the fridge and went to eat the “spoilt logans” ! Same reaction… as they went to the toilet to spit them out.
There I was laughing my lungs out… and we concluded that they were spoilt. So… to prevent any more “victims”.. we actually emptied the entire bowl away..
Later that night… during dinner… my aunt told us this in mandarin… “Sorry for the lack of side dishes… Actually.. I wanted to make fish balls for all of you.. but apparently.. I couldn’t find them in the fridge…”
