Precious Photos

Dressed in nyonya style sarong kebaya

Dressed in the traditional samfoo

During the Chinese New Year, my mom showed me these old photos. Taken 60 years ago, it shows my mom and her sisters in traditional attire. She could not remember what occasion it was that my grandparents had these photos taken, either Chinese New Year or my grandfather's birthday. I wonder if the boys had a similar photo taken. Yes, mom had a huge family.

    I really love old photos! My mom had a large family also, and there are few pictures - which makes them even more precious. Thanks for sharing your mom and her sisters :)

    I love old photos, especially with the family history. Which one is your mother?

    I also love looking at old photographs and now we have so many digital photos that stay on our computers without getting printed, it is probably going to be rare looking back on them!
    Which one is your Mum?
