Retrospect
I wish I could find more photos like this one. This not-so-complete family photo was taken back in 1976 during Hari Raya (Eid Mubarak) in Raub, Pahang. Most of the family members were not present. Standing at the back row (from left to right): my two aunts, Aunt June & Mak Andak (holding Zaidi), my late grandfather, my mother (holding my smallest brother, Azrai) and my cousin Zaitun. Standing at the front row (left to right): my cousin, Zul, myself ( I was 7), another cousin, Zaiwati, my big sister, Ida and my brother, Eddie. Zaitun, Zul, Zaiwati and Zaidi are Mak Andak’s children.
I went back to Raub last weekend and got this photo from Aunt June. Borrowed it for awhile to have it scanned and make few prints.
The baju kurung my sis and I wearing? O…I don’t really know what happened to it but I loved it! It has front left pocket; great for keeping coins. Boy, was I messy! But then again, my sister was even messier!!

i have lots of these photo back home, nanti nak bawak scan jugaklah!!! I remember when i was small i tak suka pakai kain labuh, my outfit was skirt, pants and shorts! *gulp*
Haha OndeOnde, baju kurung is only for the first few hours of the first day of the festive. Right after that I changed to a comfortable jeans and shirt and went for galah panjang!

Hey emilla, I love photos like this! Now I know how you look in person! Thanks for sharing this. Salam to you and family!
Thanks for posting in 1976 photo. At least I can imagine now, what it was like the year I was born
Perhaps that baby at the back is at my age too 
Oh yea.. I too have the love of my life towards dragonflies! Always an object of my admiration to see them “skipping” on the water surface.
