I don't remember anything prior to pre-school. First vivid memories was pre-school or kindergarten.
I grew up in small town Redcliff, and so me any my cousin's families were the only Chinese people in town, and prior to school, we were looked after by our grandparents who didn't speak a lick of English. So we had no exposure to English until we started school. Think the first day, the teacher was asking me close the door as I was the last kid in, and I had no idea what she was saying to me until another kid got up and closed it for me. Not sure why that memory stuck with me, but it does to this day.
