Packing...

These few weeks I have been cleaning and packing up my stuff. Remember there was a fire accident recently? The old couple had stashed too much stuff at their house that it had made their escape from the burning house difficult. There was a follow up article that discussed about such mentality -- the hoarders mentality. Basically, there may be several reasons why someone stash so many irrelevant stuff (as viewed by others). I realised I'm a hoarder too, I kept recipes, tickets, pieces of papers, packaging, brochures all these years because I feel that it will be come to use later or it contains part of my memories. So I've been trying to throw away stuff.. not all of them, but some of the more irrelevant ones..

As I am cleaning up my rooms and drawers, I found several gifts and letters that I ought to send them out long ago, from farewell gifts to souvenirs to love letters. It made me realise time had changed. People in my life come and go. Although I know there's no point keeping such stuff anymore as these people had left my life somehow or another and there's no way I can send them such stuff anymore (wouldn't it be ridiculous to send them a farewell card after years since the farewell party??), I will still keep them. Perhaps it will come to a day where I can let them all go and keep them in my heart. I'm such a emo girl, I know.

I found a "fortune telling paper" I did long ago. Remember those machines with a spooky witch-look-a-like machine and a crystal ball inside them and you had to key in your personal particulars? I could still remember where and when I did it once I saw that piece of paper. I was in Secondary Two and Anna was accompanying me after school. We were in Clementi central. And if I aren't wrong, the machine I had my predictions were around Clementi KFC. I remembered I asked about my love life. The words on the paper are now fading.. This was the prediction for me...

You tend to fall in love at first sight. And once you fall in love you act according to your feelings. You possess strong mental strengths to overcome obstacles. But when you are refused, you do not pursue the relationship further. Your pride does not allow you to act as if you had a lingering feeling within you.

You had a very one track love in the past. Your dreams are almost perverse. Since you have such wild crazy ideas about a relationship, you had a decadent affair with your lover.

Your love fortune is declining and you will be crushed by your sadness. You will be shocked by the unfriendly attitude of your lover and you will feel lonely even after you have spent the night together. Emotion will only bring confusion. For now, you can only persevere.

Life has its unlucky moments. Do not think you are the only one who is unhappy. Try to find a way out. A little scratch may develop into a major scar in your relationship, so be sure to cure all your scratches fast. You may experience a little loneliness but you must solve this alone.

Every road you travel will be riddled with obstacles. There is no clear cut cause, but there will be misunderstandings and arguments. Your future looks dark, or the time being. You must wait calmly for your fortune to take its turn for the better.

Geez, I didn't know I had perverted dreams, now that I know the meanings to those "chim" words then. Ha..

Hmm.. what other treasures will I find today?
Why do I remember all those memories that were long forgotten by others?
Have you forgotten those memories, my dear friends?
