Im packing up my things to move over to my new house and in the process of doing that, i am throwing away many things. Many fond memories came back =) Flashbacks when looking at the items. Fun and games of all sorts were found tucked away in a drawer here and a cabinet there. Games like bottle caps, eraser overlapping, small cartoon cards (where we used our hands to try to flip over), my old toys like a motorcyle and dune buggy from MASK, transformable plane, stickers of all sorts, "sim" (Canto) card ie flashy cards (actually stickers as well) of Dragonball and HK Idols, presents from old friends, cards from old friends, unused greeting cards, McDota Fried Chicken vouchers (don't ask me where i got it from @_@|||), my phone card collections, my sports trophies (just 2 only wor =( ), coinboxes, several pencil boxes (those with magnets and can open both sides).
All the things at my age then were very treasured. Coming from a not so well off family, many things were second hand or throwaways by other people. So those which were bought either by my parents or angpau money are even more treasured. Speaking of which i have not found several of my most prized possessions :( A Matchbox Porsche and a yellow photo album containing some of my most treasured pictures (no need to guess, girls included and no, im not telling who they are :p ).
A lot of mixed emotions when i had to decide what to keep and what to throw away. Due to wear and tear and of course the erosion of time, with a heavy heart i junked many things. I suppose this is what you have to do when you move or clean up, some of the things are more than 10 years old (refer below on some) and maybe its because they were truly special that i kept them, i know i have another box containing more special stuff but like the Porsche and the album, they must be together as they are more special to me.
Although all were from 1 person (yes a girl) but it does not mean i have anything for her, its the special attention and handywork which led me to want to keep them for so long i suppose. I seriously don't remember if i did reply the letter. Thanks Jess, you made me smile from ear to ear when i found these again. I think i will still keep these, there are more actually but some were so cleverly made that it can't be scanned ...
