Childhood Memories by Arnold Lee (32)

HELLO! My name is Arnold Lee and i became an EARTHLING on 23rd January.

Born in Gleneagles Hospital and...

I'm the first-born baby in the family.

I have...

1 younger brother

1 even younger brother

1 youngest sister



As i was the first baby in the family, i suppose i caused a lot of problems for first time inexperienced parents. During that time, Mother and Father had to work hard to have enough money to keep a cute little baby then. ;D Because it was tough to take care of a attention-seeking baby and working at the same time, my parents left me to stay with my grandparents.
My grandparents house was where i spent most of my childhood. That is also where my memories began.



Television and toys (small cars) were everything in my childhood life.
After i woke up, i'll turn to watch cartoons and play my toy cars at the same time. My 2 elderly grandparents would look after me and give me nice food to eat. Life back then was truly enjoyable. Being young and innocent back then, i was a easily sastisfied child.



When the time came for me to attend nursery, I remembered i made things very difficult for my grandparents. My grandfather would put me on his bicycle everyday and cycle me to kindergarden. Rain or shine, he will always be there to pick me up. I was very close with my grandfather. My grandfather doted me the most among all his grandchildren, because i was the one who lived with him. He would go the extra mile just to get that toy i want, when i fall sick he'll run to the get the best medical cure for me. This went on until about primary 1 when i had to go back to my parents. I was really reluctant. I kept crying, I was more comfortable in my grandparents home than in my own home which felt so stranger-like to me. Having spent almost 7 years with my grandparents, i guess this couldn't be helped.



I attended primary school soon after. I didn't cry like the other children do. They were crying away while i just gazed at them. I remember our primary 1 form teacher had a really difficult time then trying to coax the children to hush. I did fairly well in examinations, or at least i didn't fail like now. As years went by, Mother gave me more and more assessments to do. And I guess this is how my childhood memories end.
