I was clearing out some stuffs, when I found 3 boxes of letters and cards. They were filled with thoughts, feelings, emotions and memories. I didnt go through all of them (if i did, i might be still sitting on the carpet, reading) but I saw some really really heart warming ones.
If you are wondering if i still hv your card/letter/picture that you sent, chances are, YES. I didnt throw any away.
Btw vel, do you remember your first birthday in Perth? That big apple strudel? Yup.. i found the pics!! Even the nice card that you gave, encouraging me to hang on despite the horrible semester that we had...
I even saw Kian Ann and Aibee's wedding leaflet.
What about the Keroppi letter envelope from Peggy? Oh man, it reminded me of the days when i went on a hunt to find nice envelops and letter heads to write on. Now, I use white or recycle paper (if i still write).
Ting- JC letterhead!! I still have them! :p Those were the days you wrote in your lectures!
Ruth- those nice gel pens writing? Ah.... I kept every single letter that you sent me. Including the ones you wrote before I left. I treasured them.. Yes, even the one that i read and cried on the plane. The air stewardness was like "?!?!?!"
Jac, Jia and Wanyi- Those nice cards man.. *sobsob* i found pictures of us with the flutes.
Some interesting birthday cards..including TWO from Jackson and Armand. The first card says "happy 1st birthday", the second card was "Happy 9th birthday". That was for my 19th birthday of course. Trying to be funny huh?
Or the one from my parents.. which in the front said "you are intelligent, lovely,..etc etc.. " and then ended with "Of course, you got the genes from us" Interesting thing was, 2 years later, Mum sent me the SAME CARD.................
Do you remember the bag I wrote about for my birthday. I found another bunch of bags in a container from mum too.. oops...
Also, i saw some really horrible pictures of myself-worthy for entering "The Biggest Loser" show. *SHUDDER* Please, NEVER let me return to that again.
Anyway, back to my cleaning and clearing. Honestly, if I die the most valuable assets I have are books and papers.

That shouldnt be a problem =) To think u were worried about getting a job- that's pretty fast!
Keep updating me about it!!
I do miss the snail mails we used to write. it's strange isnt it? Although nowadays, I feel that time is moving so fast that I dont think i have change much since last year. Except maybe, just maybe, gained a few good recipes for making cakes and pasta.
