i decided to dig out all my old letters and postcards and pack them properly today.. its been on my agenda for sometime already but as usual, i'm always too lazy to do so.. wow.. what a tasteful session it had been.. i've been keeping all my postcards, letters etc.. even those little notes that are the size of half your finger.. from primary school onwards.. i see the letters written by jessica from primary school.. the funny valentines' day cards by those 3 boys: chaoqin, liwei watson.. the time when wah ming was called waggies.. when jess was victoria and i was emma.. and then liwei was b-rock, and the other guys were the other guys in bsb.. and then it progressed to ness being clay, jess being tj, and me being ryan (the guys in take 5), and then we called ourselves take 3.. the times competing in the "sunken area" to see who had completed the most number of assessment books or prelim papers.. or busy making sure each other don't cheat when transferring the number of stars we got from our 10/10 in spelling tests into the little blue book so that we could redeem rewards..
then it got onto secondary school.. the pictures.. the squash times at kallang and msia.. the things we did in school.. squash camp etc etc.. the postcards betty jamie jess ness bx mich wrote me.. there's this bright red envelope where bx wrote "sexpot br" for my bday.. the random creative notes that jamie gave us.. the nice postcards that jess bought from fareast and wrote to us with.. the lyrics that betty wrote to me.. and the nice little notes we shared during our tough times during sec 1 and 2.. what dear memories..
i had a lot of good laughs reading through some of the things.. remembering how childish we were.. and like mich said, its true, you always think that you're very mature at that point in time, but as you grow older and look back at the past, you find that you were actually very childish back then, and you feel that you are so much more mature now, and you can't get any more mature than that.. and the cycle goes on.. :) its very funny.. very funny..
my mum told me to throw away the letters.. and i adamantly refused.. what precious memories they are! pictures may speak a thousand words, but these letters and notes are actually real-time chronicles of our thoughts at that time, an amusing, innocent, and very true record of the events we went through as we were growing up.. i will never ever throw them away.. it'll be very fun to share them with my kids next time and tell them "that was the childhood of your mum"..
*sob sob* nostalgic heh..
