This is me and michael, my kindergarten friend. One of the few things i remember of kindergarten was him and that we liked each other. This picture was taken at my 6th birthday party, where the adults forced us to take a picture and I was feeling incredibly hand-clutching-dress shy (hideous frock), and worse when the photo was developed because my white underwear was showing. I always wanted to find my old tiny friends, and i found him! Ol paddington bear. Do you remember the neon yellow snake poison they put around the bungalows?

Dear reader, don't you miss being a tiny being, with all the adults looking so big and tall? And wondering what you'll be when you grow up, thinking you can be anything you wanted? And running around naked, eating peanuts sweatily and washing the car (playing with water) was such a treat. Clap if you believe in fairies or tinkerbell will die!

I bought All Things Must Pass, george's first cd after the beatles split. It's rare and the sky on the cover is done with watercolours, you can see the gentle water spots. George is a gentle india-man with gentle words like 'because you're sweet and lovely girl i love you, because you're sweet and lovely girl it's true. you looked at me that's all you had to do' and 'here comes the sun'. he would never pose naked like john did with yoko. he would never be wacky as ringo, or sing like paul at last year's grammy's. When he died i remember there was a book and it was sold in secondary school at a book sale at the family lounge, but i didnt know him then.

My heart has wings, and it can fly
I'll touch every star in the sky

We used to sit around the tv in grimy pajamas (mine polkadotted, his with ninjas or something) and with toasted peanut butter bread with sugar, and milo, and watch cinderella. The mice trying to crawl up the stairs to give her the key was the scariest part. And richie rich, dumb and dumber, honey we shrunk ourselves, the little mermaid, sister act 2, home alone 2. We used to rewatch all that like crazy. Which one shall we rewatch today?!

Fu man ren jian is showing again on channel 8 and it's great. Living in 60s singapore must have been awesome. Kampongs, good oily singaporean food, cotton pajamas, tin buckets, a-go-go dancing, rock and roll, playing marbles, hopscotch, big spectacles, tight dresses, innocence and madness, life is a blast.

Life is a dream!
