章節 5: chapter 5 - parties

my first big birthday party was when i was 6 years old,.... mum and grandma (popo) were cooking in our new house kitchen and mum said that i will have a grand party with lots of food to eat,... i was excited and so happy,.... i put on a beautiful long red and lacy dress that i found in the closet. mum said it belonged to my cousin who has since outgrew it.... she said that i could wear it for my birthday.... my dad was the photographer and held his camera to his chest with the strap around his neck.... he is always the photkgrapher of our family and quite seldom in the photographs that he takes,.....those days, the camera was an old one using film and you couldn't choose which photo you wanted to develop.... the roll of film would be taken out of the camera to be developped in a dark room with special liquid and hung dry.... most of the time, there were "candid photos", photos that were out of focus or badly lit....
