My Childhood_Gerald Gan

I was born on 03 August 1993. I had a normal childhood like any other child but maybe more joyful and carefree. I stay at a childcare centre from morning till evening everyday from mondays to fridays as my parents had to work and got no time to take care of me but I know that I have parents that loves me, care for me and always be around when i needed them especially my mother eventhough I was not really being taken care by my parents. I remembered that whenever I fell sick, the teacher in charge would call my mother and my mother will always put aside her work and rush down to the childcare centre to check whether i was alright or not. My father would be more stricter to me as compared to my mother. But my father always trys his best to satisfy me whenever i requested anything from him. But after all I am still more closer to my mother than to my father.

There are six members in my family including me. My family members are my father, mother, younger brother, grandfather and grandmother and me. I am the eldest son in my family and also the eldest grandson.


I remembered having a family vacation. We went to Kuala lumpur in Malaysia. At that time, my parents were not earning that much as compared to now and we can only afford to go to a near country for a overseas trip. But my family and me were all having fun during the vacation in Malaysia. We went to many fun and interesting places to play and we also tried out many kinds of delicious local foods there. We travelled there by a rented family car rented from a car rental centre as our own car was too small for 6 people to sit in.

My mother once told me that I had a favourite food during my childhood but not quite like to eat now and that is fish porridge. When i was young , my mother always feeds me with a bowl of fish porridge. I seem to like it alot and always finishes it completely. My mother told me that whenever she cooks porridge, it must be fish porridge or else she would had a hard time making me to eat as i only likes to eat fish porridge. Maybe I am too choosey in the choice of food at that time.
