Mummy Diaries - an audio auto-biography project (中文): Recent Episodes
Christopher Ang
Growing up, my mum (Vanessa Yeoh aka Ah Geok aka Susan aka Lan Cai) would tell us many amazing stories from her childhood. I never grew tired of them, she's a great storyteller and had an amazing childhood growing up on an island. I thought it would be amazing to record all her stories to kinda immortalize them, and at the same time learn more about her life.
Its My Birthday! sorry for the late upload, Misplaced the SD card and thankfully found it recently.
In this episode we are joined by my elder and younger sister and have a chat with my mum about her experience of having kids and being a mother. its a light hearted chat in a hotel room over lunch celebrating her birthday and my birthday ( yes our birthdays are 1 day apart)
