This probably is among the few first digital image I took, using my Nokia 3200. Dated back at 2004. The phone was bought secretly, using saved allowance for a year, or so. Cant remember it very well. As for this picture. This was how our kitchen used to be, which traditionally including our dining area. The kitchen area was very huge, but we only have one stove, 2 small refrigerator, a sink, one big handmade dining table and if I remember correctly, 2 dish rack. Oh, and few chairs. This was before renovation. This was the place where all of us will have our breakfast, lunch, dinner, even supper together. The only working member was big bro, Leo and bro Nichol. Me? Still earning my Diploma, and sis Helen was still earning her Degree. Not to say very poor, because there were still food on the table, but not all was there. Insufficient, I might say. Bro Leo was cooking for his son, while being criticize by bro Nic, and sis was washing something at the tanju, balcony? Well, dad just came back from the farm, and mom was watching me taking this picture. maybe amaze by technology, perhaps. This picture hold a memory that cant be repeated. since its hard to gather everyone on the same table, just like before. Why? Because we just cant, with the job, responsibility, disease, illness and, for me, the attitude...

All the best in your studies. My kitchen is small but just enough for me to move around making some chemistry work. It is good to sit together and eat together. This is what family is all about.
