When I saw initiating the Three photos of you being a teenager challenge here I immediately thought of my Life Album. It's a Little Twin Star (my favorite Sanrio character) photo album. I have photos from me as a baby with my mum (that's the earliest photo I have of myself) to a young child, teenager, young adult, grown up adult, getting married. Then the album kind of stopped there as digital media became more prevalent and we didn't need actual copies of photos anymore. I think I should continue with my Life Album and get some recent year photos printed out. Another thing to add on my to do list.
Anyway, today's post is about my teenager years, so we're going to skip the first few pages of baby LUT and jump to teenage LUT. Before we do that, I just want to show you more Little Twin Star characters 😊, I mean the size of the album.
The school I went to was a brand new school when I started. The headmistress had returned from overseas, so her ideology was quite different from the traditional headmasters in Hong Kong. In particular, her views towards school uniform was pretty lax. We were allowed to wear trainers to school and pretty much any outerwear we liked as long as it was a dark colour. As to hemline length, no one really cared as long as you didn't over do it 😆. Everyone tried to look cooler than everyone else 😎
During those teenage years studying in Hong Kong I was living with my nan, and sometimes I would fly back to UK to visit my family. This photo was taken at the airport before one of those flights. I don't wear dresses much (still don't), but I remember I liked this dress a lot and often wore it. As to why I'm standing next to the wine liqueur counter? I have no idea.... maybe I'm trying to look grown up😄
A few years later I returned back to UK to continue school before going to university. I still had a lot of friends in Hong Kong, and in some summers (when my dad would pay for it) I would fly back to Hong Kong to meet with them. This was one of those trips. I remember on this occasion I met up with a bunch of secondary school friends. Even though I was only with them for a year, a big group of them turned up, but now I've lost in contact with all of them. There was a period I used to wear my hair short, it was a phase I was going through and a very 'in' thing during those years. Look cool and don't smile when people take photos of you 😊
This has been a nice travel through memory lane back to the teenage me. If you want to take up the challenge and have some fun, show us three photos of you being a teenager, and don't forget to post it in the Three Challenges Community created/hive-100848.
Thanks to for keeping the community alive when I've dropped the ball.
