Flashbacks

Getting a lot of it lately...

Mostly my childhood memory.

Good ones, bad ones, lovely ones, etc.

I remembered my first nanny.

She nursed me until I got in to kindergarten *if I'm not mistaken*

I remembered her bathing me.

I cried over her when she quitted and leaved the house.

I remembered falling down from my dad's motorcycle when I was playing on it.

Totally my mistakes, I jump-riding it back and forth,

ended up on the ground with the big cycle pins me down.

No serious injuries, just a serious series of grumbling from my old man.

And serious humiliation, since the incident happend right in front of my house.

With some guests having their visits too.

I remembered fell in to the river at the back of my house.

*Why is it all about my childhood mischief? Hahaha, whatever...*

I was looking at the tiny fishes waaayy to serious that I squatted to forward-ly on the waste pipe and I ended up plunge into the water.

*that time, the river was child' thigh-deep, brown-colored water and swiftly streamed.*

Almost got carried away, but managed to shouted for help.

Mom lifted me up.

The thing is, the water is really made me feel itchy.

I remembered fell down with my lips striked the floor first because I *stupidly* swinging by the bathroom door back and forth and ended up like donald duck for about two weeks,

and I only get to eat porridge since I smashed my lips finely.

The sucks part, is the medicine.

It has blue-colored, ink-lookalike and ink-tastelike, which made my lips looks even worse. :P

But it works really good, I wonder is it still manufactured these days...

I remembered playing in front of my grandparents' house at Surabaya.

I played with sands and making oil out of some leaves and some dye for buy/sell game with my cousin.

I don't know how she made it, but the oil she made looks like a real oil to me.

She simply collect some leaves from a red-flowered plants, mashed them, then blended it with water and yellow dye.

I found some shells and so excited about it, I think it's something cool because my grandma's house is far away from the ocean.

But, I realized, that shell I found is a shell from clam we used to eat at seafood restaurant... XD

I remembered playing at the backyard of my other grandparents' house.

I used to collect ladybugs, with so many colors.

I loved it when we found the gold-shelled one.

Me and my neighbor friend, we used to collect this seeds from a purple-flowered plants *looks like morning glory, but I don't know the name* which explodes when it's poured with water.

So we gathered lots and lots of the seeds into a bucket, poured water into it, and waited until the pops stopped. Sounds like firecrackers.

And I hate it when it's caterpillar-season, cause it means we can't play there.

Unless if you wanted hella-itchy-for-I-don't-know-how-long experience.

I remembered when my little brother choked on a fishbone.

I was accompanying my mom bought worms for fish food, and when we got home my bro was crying real hard and my dad looks upset and panic with pliers and flashlight on his both hands.

He was planned to clipped the fishbone on my bro's throat with pliers. :O

In the end, thank God mom was there on time.

She simply grab a handful of warm rice, gave a mouthful of the rice to my bro, had him swallowed it, and he laughed within seconds.

There's still plenty of it, but I'll just save it for later. :P

How about you? Any flashbacks recently? :)
