October 2002 (8 years ago)

Dad and I taking a nap on one of those cold autumn days.

It has been exactly 8 years ago on this date when mom and I came to Vienna. This is one of the earlier pictures I had with my dad. (Dad came a year earlier to Vienna.)

Mom would always tell me a story of how I never wanted to get near my dad, if he approaches me I slap his cheek immediately...Well, maybe it's because I don't know him from infancy. I only saw when in person when I was more than a year old. But now, I know how I love my dad and that I could never hurt him in that way or another. :)

(Schönbrunn Palace)

Mom and I arrived in Vienna on October 14, 2002...4 years ago and the smell of dried leaves is very dominant in the air. Dad took us immediately here, the Schönbrunn grounds which is a famous place back then and now. The emperors and empresses of Austria lived here and there have been movies shot in this place.

Mom finally got hold of a digital camera, one that daddy bought when he first came to Vienna.

The dried leaves at the background really says it's autumn...the wind was also a little cool then.

This is mom and I a few steps up the hill of Schönbrunn...

I was born when mama still owns an SLR, no digicams yet for her. See, she scanned this, one of her favorite photos of mine which she herself took. Mama likes doing that a lot, and documenting how I grow up. See my photos here from when I was little until now that I am almost 5 years old.
