Ee Rynn visits the place I grew up

We were back to Malaysia during March school holiday. Ee Rynn was exposed to some of photos when I was young. She remember the picture where I sat on a colourful baby chair. She showed interest to know more about the place I grew up.

I took this opportunity to bring her to our (my parents) old house. This is the place I learnt about meaning of life, have countless laughter and tears and have lots of unconditional loves and patience from my parents and siblings. It was made of wood. The roof top is cover with 'atap'. The house wasn't made of a concrete like our neighbor. We are the only remaining old house where the rest of our neighbor has rebuilt their house.

When we reach, she was 'surprise'..
EeRynn: mommy, you mean you stayed here?
Mommy: Yes.
Ee Rynn: Who stayed with you?
Mommy: 'kung kung', 'poh poh', 'ta yi yi', 'yi yi' and 'jiu jiu'.
EeRynn: You mean, you really stayed here?
Mommy: Yes. Mommy stayed here when mommy was a baby until after university.
EeRynn: How old mommy?
Mommy: Erm.. (Counting).. About 28 years.
Ee Rynn: Mommy, this house is very old. What is that?
Mommy: Those are empty container to collect water. Besides the container is where 'poh poh' did her farming. She plants vegetable, onion, aloe vera, spring onion, parsley and 'cili padi' too.
EeRynn: mommy, can I go into the house?
Mommy: Sure, we wait for 'kung kung'. Ok?
EeRynn: Ok. Mommy, is this where your baby chair was?
Mommy: Oh yes, you remember :-)

I think it's good to bring her back to my memory lane. I think she sees the different of things she has now compared to mommy was young. I see it as a learning process for her to know more about 'my world'. She deserves to know. :-)
