A rare photograph of the Magnificent Eleven. It was taken by our eldest brother-in-law (he was the only one with a camera then) in front of our house in Lorong Liku, Bakar Bata in Alor Setar.
This picture is ‘rare’ because in those days it was not often that we had a chance to get our photographs taken, and to get one of all eleven of us together was nearly impossible then.
It was taken in December 1970, when I was 9 years old. Back row, standing from left, Sibling Number 2 Halim, Number 5 Johari (deceased), Number 6 Mahadzir, Number 3 Sobrey. Second row, from left, Number 7 Rashida, Number 1 Zakiah, Number 4 Fuziyah, and Number 8 Ahmad Kamal. Front row, from left Chon-on-Blog aka Hardknocks, Number 11 Haslinda and Number 10 Salahuddin.
All grew up to be successful in their own rights. Between all eleven of us, we have 49 children, some of whom are now married and with children of their own. It would be interesting if we can all gather together for a complete family photograph! How I wish all of us could ‘balik kampung’ this Aidilfitri for another rare photo session. We will probably need a superwide angle lense to capture everyone in one picture.
