missing these childhood stories...

while i was a kid, i was staying in kim yam apartments and there was this lady who married a japanese staying in the next block.  she has two sons and no daughters and hence treated me as one :)
she showered me with lots of japanese story books (in english of course :)) and japanese gifts mostly bought from the then daimaru... sadly we lost contact... wonder how she is doing now...
i dont think i could ever thank her enough for her generosity...
