saw an aunt on some tv intv just now... was a jolt to realise how much like gran she's starting to look! was musing how there seem to be two "templates" over daddy's side, either we are dark or fair... and we'll look pretty much like one another! i remembered in sec sch, one teahcer used to keep asking me if i had an older sibling tehre and i kept telling him NO... until he asked again in my final year, after a cuzzin's wedding, and i remembered that KNN & KSN were alma-maters and we were about those who most looked like one another! LOL!

the fair ones seems to look like gran... i'm presuming the darker-skinned one looks like grandad.. but can't realli tell from those faded photos... he passed on way before i was born... actually both sides of my grandad did that... the closest i had to a grandad was my paternal granduncle, who's such a joker like dad! i'm not realli close to my grans... the most "cosy" memory i ever had was sometimes lying on the bed with my bedridden maternal gran at that time to chat with her :] i've always wondered what those manja2 relationships with grans are all about... :]
