7/10/06, World Cup Finals'.
My father promised me that after the world cup finals' he will get my computer fixed/buy a new one. Now my computer is... crazy. And the television in the living room is spoilt too, so I hope he gets a plasma television set.

Just now my mother and I were talking about our house we stayed in last time at Rainbow Gardens & Toh Yi Drive.

How I love those days :)

I'm feeling so nostalgic, I love the house in Rainbow Gardens! It has a mini garden at the front, two floors. And my mum used to decorate my room wallpaper with cute drawings, I still remember them. What else, I've got many many things to say. There's a bar-like place near the kitchen. And when you open the back door, there's another big garden where I always meet my neighbours. My mum said I went swimming every day in the past... And I remembered my brother's swimming instructor once treated me a lollipop. And my maid, Eva :) She's so nice because every Sunday on her off day, she will buy me some sweets....

That was back when I was two? three? four? five? or six year-old only.

Then, there was this jie jie called Ziyi... older than my elder brother and me... My mum says she likes me alot and always find us to play. Then, we will go her house to play board games like, "Monopoly, Hamburger".... Her maid will always make us ribena to drink and I remembered I went to her house to watch tapes and LD's... :) (I think I even watch Chucky at my age last time, ha!)

There's this japanese neighbour called Momoko... (I wished we still keep in contact because I'm totally over japanese dramas and music nowadays). Her mother taught my mother how to make delicious sushi :) And her house has a BIG slide in one of her rooms..... But my mum said her mother was fierce because sometimes she can hear her scolding Momoko O_o...

My brother and I, I think, seldom go to the playground because my mother says there are alot of ants... and true enough, I don't really have much memories of me playing in the playground.

And I won't forget Nicole!! We still keep in touch now.. and we ALWAYS recall back the times in Rainbow Gardens... I would go to her house early in the morning without brushing my teeth, in my PJ's and play "table drop" (our secret game, I don't know how to elaborate), watch cartoons we NEVER get bored of after watching it hundred times like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty... and her mum would bake blueberry muffins and cook prawn mee :) And gorgor Sarah will have alot of games, and Nicole's father full of magic tricks, card games etc etc. And her pet hamster, what else. Oh ya, she once had a maid who always said, "If you don't sleep, I box you ar", and we were then tricked to sleep... (It's so funny when we think back now...)

Now my niece is 2 1/2 years old. And sometimes she talks funny, that I don't understand what she's talking about! Imagine two children around the age of 2 communicating and playing with each other! Arghh, I've got many memories with Nicole I could probably write an essay about it....

My father bought me a hula-hoop because last time Nicole had one, and I don't know how to play with it... haha. And Nicole and I used to have ballet classes. And we went to Apple Tree at the age of 3... Unfortunately, in kindergarten we weren't in the same classes.

What else, hmmm... back in Rainbow Gardens', my mum and I always strolled there. Okay, I remembered there's this house who is a Caucasian and her house is very neat and english-like. She's friendly and her house light is always dim... There's Xiao Han? And my brother's friend, Johnathan...

Before I moved to Toh Yi Drive, I remembered there were many big boxes in our houses as we were preparing... and I hid behind one of those big boxes then my parents were searching for me, and even suspected if I went to Nicole house or not... LOL! And I was laughing behind those boxes after hearing their conversation. But too bad, my parents don't recall it now...

As the apartment I am staying in now, (Signature Park) is just beside Rainbow Gardens, I can see the difference from last time till now. The front garden of the unit which we were staying last time, became a "mini vegetable garden". Now that garden looked so congested compared to the empty and clean garden which we used to have... and now the paintings of Rainbow Gardens faded alot even after repainting it once...

Rainbow Gardens became smaller, somehow. Well, maybe because I was small when I stayed there, so I thought everything seemed big last time. I wish I can go back to those days =(
