Do you believe in history repeating itself exactly the way it happened the first time? Â I do!
When I was 9 years old, I was very much influenced by those TVB actresses who acted in kung fu movies. Barbara Yung Mei Ling (who committed suicide when I was 12 years old), Chik Mei Chan, Chan Yuk Lin to name a few. Back then, when there we no iPad, no computer, no laptop, no android phones, no iPod, etc, one of our few entertainment and luxuries were renting TVB tapes from those video tape rental shop. Dad and I along with my brothers would be chasing these kung fu movies on most nights. How I miss those nights! 🙂
So, there I was, a 9-year old actress wannabe who always dreamed of having long hair, side burns and curled up bangs like my favorite actress – Barbara Yung, as shown in the below picture…
One afternoon, this 9YO actress wannabe decided to curl up her bangs before going to school. She used a comb and twirled her front bangs so that they would look curled up like those kung fu stars. But she was a tad too ambitious and twirled her fringe too tightly around the comb till her fringe got stuck on the comb! KABOOM!! Her papa would arrive in half an hour to bring her to school. So she yelled out in tears to her dearest popo for help! Her dear popo patiently detangled her hair from the comb just in the nick of time, phew!! And yes, she did have extra curly wurly and frizzy bangs to boast to her friends 😀
32 years down the road, her middle daughter (she is also a middle child!) did the same thing! And coincidentally, granny was on a visit in KL. History then repeated itself, almost exactly the way it happened 32 years ago. DE JA VU!
Here’s my mum patiently helping someone release the comb that got stuck to the bunch of locks…
And she said “don’t you dare take my picture! Don’t you dare post it in Facebook!”
Nope, this was not posted in Facebook 🙂
Finally, after what seemed like half an hour, the comb was released from the hair but granny had to snip off a chunk of the hair! HA HA HA! I really could not believe that something so identical happened to my middle child and at the same age that I was at when that incident happened to me 32 years ago! Both events involved the middle child, object was their hair and both were rescued by their maternal grandmother! How very coincidental! Now you tell me, what is the odd of identical events happening to a mother and her daughter at the same age?
