Scrap-It-Lah, Monochromatic White : Abang & I 1978

I have been thinking for more than 100 times (kot) whether to join or not to join for this challenge. For this month Scrap-It-Lah challenge is hosted by DT Yatie hop on to her blog to learn more about this challenge. Here is my take, I have tried my level best to use WHITE as much as I can...this is what I came out with...





It was a picture of myself and my brother in year 1978, we was at our old kampung which is no longer exists, that antique house is no longer there, that antique square TV is history...I found this photo while cleaning my mother's old album couple of months ago. The original photo I kept in an acid free album and I developed another few copies for me to scrap. I even cut the edge using my antique photo cutter so that this photo will look much older as those days our photo shops used to cut their photo using this kind of cutter. I even used my Singer sewing machine to sew those white polka dots net around the photo. The title is "abang & I 1978" (abang means brother). My photo a bit dark, my apologies but this is the best I can give you to view.

Memory

I went through our old photos and I found some old photos of mine and our Zara looks like me when I was about 1 and half year old. The photo was taken in late 1970, the other two toddlers in the photo was my cousin and the lap that I sat on was not my mother she is my aunt.

Suzy's graduation day

Suzy graduated about 3 years ago and I attended her day as our parents are not able to make it due to my mother was not well at that time. She suffered from cancer and just had chemo done the previous week hence she was not able to make it as well as our father. Not that great layout tho...

My layout seems to be so plain, whatever it is I am still hoping for more mojo and hopefully this year my creative flow will be more juicy. The above layout featured 2 photos of their 1st meeting when she was about 58 days. What a nice photo!

"Our" Remy

"Our" Remy

My mother passed away on 31 December 2008, not long after that on March 2009 her younger brother named Remy followed her.

I still remember, we used to go to his house for dinner or lunch. All of us, his nephews and nieces love to visits him just because he is so good in his cooking. We will go over his house and help him in his big kitchen.

The above photo was taken in January 2009, when he came to my house to see the baby for the second time (the first time was at Prince Court - one hour after I am out of the operation theatre, the whole clan was already in my suite). That day we had a "kenduri" for our late mother at Bukit Jelutong and he was there to see the baby again.

You will be forever remembered by the whole family. "Al-fatihah"
