So i was being so un-me petang today. went through my room and kemas what needs to be kemas ages ago. okay, maybe part of it was because guests are coming tomorrow (Note:Mummy will prepare her famous nasi dagang. yumm!). And i found many things that reminds me of what happens in the past few months(includes 12 months ago). You see, I keep things. you name it...
1. movie tickets
2. concert tickets
3. MPH receipt for a novel "Love the one You are With"( nanti dapat rebate tax maa..as if i have ever paid tax lah...gaji pun berapa je..but i have a feeling next year is my maiden year to pay tax)
4. Maybank withdrawal receipt. correction: receiptsssssssssssss
5. photos when i was 12 years old (somehow they were on my dresser. piled up waiting to be kept back into albums)
6. birthday card from Mummy and Baba
7. wedding invitations of dear Adelaide friends
8. Last year's raya card from Anis
9. This year's raya card from Pijah (the only 2 raya cards i got this year. the other was from my CIO Dato Razali. He gave every Muslim a raya card. coolness betul.)
10. expired MPH vouchers (bummer!)
11. OBM photo.
12. Folded for who-knows-how-many-times OBM song sheet. no i didn't turn out singing "I've got the OB spirit, up in my head!". coz it's just no fun singing it alone...
12. orchestra itenarary that i went with 'a' guy. (i did mention the past months kan? months can easily be years ago also). ok, this brought back painful memories, which i don't feel like talking about right now...
13. a cloak keychain from Sweden. thanks kakak dear!
14. MNG blouse tag. Yes, i keep brand tags too.
15. Maxis bills
16. a brochure to a resort in Pulau Kapas.
17. a Chinese stamp with my name in Chinese letters. Thanks abg hafeez dear! which reminds me of u. i miss you, and kak niza, and Umar chomot. :(
18. the receipt to A Famosa bungalow that i went with Raimi and the girls. brought back memories of our trip to Melaka (last year kot). That bungalow ada private swimming pool siott. and we sure had a great time lepak by the pool...and gossip lah :P
19. MARA slip that says i'm 4 months overdue. oopss. but dah settle those overdues. months ago dah settle. i paid in advance summore after that!
20. a post-it note that says - "There's a kind of love that gives you the courage to be better than who you are. One that makes you feel that anything is possible.." When i found it, i stuck it straight onto my magnetic board.
21. banyak lagi...but i'm too tired to list it all down. (remember i have to wake up early tomorrow. guests are coming. I should end this post soon!)
So you see why i call myself a keeper? i KEEP things. little things, big things. things that will REMIND me in the future what i did. what i bought. who broke my heart. when exactly i had a good time with girlfriends. why i need to pay bills/loans on time. how i ended up going to Yuna's concert (Liyana had a lot to do with it). and more importantly, why a photo taken 13 years ago was brought out, piled on my dresser.
I don't ever call them junks. all these bits and pieces are memories i truly cherish, even the painful ones should be reminded...so to keep myself from doing the same mistakes again.
if i had just throw all the receipts away, that happy journey to Pulau Kapas with Camy and Raimi might have been erased from a portion of my memory. Who knows? I might have forgotten the fact that love DOES exists after all. it just never lasts as long as i wanted it to be.
All this also reminds me that I need to delve on ways to practising smart storage in my small room ;). I believe IKEA has the answer.
Good night all!
