My Lorry... Or Rather, it's my Dad's...

Today, after my last class...
I have to stay back for a while to discuss CTW stuff with my group members...
And after that, kind ah-nick offered to send me home!!! (Since we live pretty close to each other)
So off to his car we go...

Nice car, quite nice, although ah-nick says it's old...
(Where got... U should see JiH's... Oops...)

Anyway, as I was in his car...
I suddenly remembered my Dad's car...
No wait...
Make that "my Dad's Lorry"...
See!!! That's Me!!! Hahahahahaha...

The year was 1987...
Just 6 months after I was borned, my Dad got this car.. errmm... Lorry...
So if it was still alive now, it would be 18+ already...
Can watch M18 movies le!!!
-___-;
Sigh... Too bad it went to the scrapeyard at the tender age of 15...

That's my Dad... Back when he can still see his feet while standing up straight...

I remembered that it was kinda cramp in the front, cos it was a small lorry...
Before my brother was out, I have all the front seats to myself...
Errm... Sharing with my Mom of course...

I used to sit right in the middle, as my Mom don't trust me to sit by the windows, probably fearing that my itchy fingers would go and unroll/unlock/play around with the window and door...
And then when I am tired, I would lie down horizontally, my head on my Mom's lap and sleeeep...
(Yes, I used to be short once...)
So comfortable!!!

A few years later, out pops my brother...
And I have to learn to share my territory with another small being...

My Dad loved to take the family out for outings back then...
And my Aunt do tagged along sometimes...
So four people squeezing into a seat for two...
Me on Aunt's lap, Bro on Mom's lap...
And thus, I got the chance to sit by the windows!!!
Whheeeee...
I keep unrolling the entire window down so that I can poke my head out...
But unfortunately, my Mom doesn't like all the wind that is blowing in... (Messed up her hair she says...)
So can only open half half lo...
My Mom... And her then Hair-do... Hahah... The lorry was so new that its license plate Glows...

Then when me and my Bro became too big for the ladies' lap, we were confined to the back of the lorry...

And there it becomes a whole new adventure...


Me and Bro...
We had such wild imaginations...
Whenever we are in the mood, we would imagine that we are in a hunter's truck, and that those cars/buses/vehicles behind us were all Dinosaurs!!!
So if you listened carefully enough, you can hear us screaming...
"OOOHHH!!! Look at that that three-horn dino!!! No lar!!! That is the one with the long neck... AAARRRGGG T-REX!!! AAAHHHHH!!!!!"
Very exciting...
It was a great Time-Passer, as it can get pretty boring watching the scenery all the time...

Either that or we will play guessing games, such that I saw something with the words on it and he have to find it in the surroundings fast enough before the lorry zooms passed it and becomes too far to see...
Sometimes we cheated by saying something we saw inside another car, cos that is practically impossible to catch, unless you suay suay kena stuck in traffic jams...
That's my youngest Uncle... He's about 13-14 at that time... Hahaha...
I'm in every picture... Too bad, I'm the one and only child then...


I loved sitting at the back...
Where there's no shelter, no barriers, no nothing...
Just wind, cold fast flowing wind breezing through your face...
I loved the feel of the wind...
So much that even if there are space for me to sit in front, I would refuse and choose the back instead...
Cos there are far more things to see, to explore, to experience out back there...
(Can be quite embarassing sometimes if I'm wearing a skirt... Or if it starts raining... Then it will be newspaper time...)


I loved this lorry...
Because of all the memories attached to it...
My childhood... All there...
All there...
