cleaning out the old journals...

It started harmlessly enough, I pushed the old box under the table out to reach for something that fell behind it. A few hours later, i was on the floor next to about 5 different journals and other junk spread out in front of me. It's amazing what you can find... and it's comforting to know that those problems you once thought were going to be the end of you, really doesn't matter any more.


This was from back when i turned 20.. the journal was completed up till about when i turned 22nd birthday.




Found an old birthday-story of my life type - card done by Ms B. It had a bunch of old pictures and stuff... it was rather entertaining to read it all over again.


I had a scanned picture of when we went to the Escape theme park back when it was popular, crowded and the only theme park in Singapore. It was SOOOoo much fun back then. It's now a sad and pathetic childrens attraction compared to Universal Studios Singapore.


Stuck in a corner was an old picture of J and Me when we were 17? 18? when she thought having green hair was cool and we listened to Linkin Park ; who, by the way, came to perform live at Singapore but we were too poor to pay for tickets so we stood outside and partied the night away watching them on the big screen and listening to them live outside the big white walls that separated us from those who could afford to buy tickets. 


I kept a bunch of old Singapore notes in an envelope and stuck them between the pages of one of my journals.


This pink piece of paper was a detention slip for latecomers in secondary school. I think I  collected so many of these i just stop going for detention and just kept the slips in my bag.  It's a funny system and i guess it was to teach you to be honest and well discipline and all that crap. 

Well, to my defence, I wasn't late ALL the time... and detention is just a waste of time.
