We were sorting out our old junks the other day. I found my favourite Walt Disney comic book which I remember treasured it a lot when I was young. But we were sending our old stories books to recycle so my comic book is now sealed inside a box and that’s bye bye forever. Then, to my surprise, I found my collection of letter-writing papers! I almost forgot that I used to collect them.

I used to write to my pen pals and that’s how I started collecting different designs of papers and nice envelopes that came along with the papers. But I didn’t finish using all my papers as now I only write to one and mostly with postcards. Then while I was arranging my collection into a new folder, I realize that actually I do have a lot of letter-writing papers and some are still new. So I encouraged my sister to write since it will be wasted to not use those papers. Somehow it turns out to the idea of we writing to each other after I go back to KL. It’s an interesting thing to do between sisters and I’m looking forward to it.

I used to collect stamps and first day covers as well. I stopped after I left to KL and my sister takes up the hobby. Besides that, I found my old diaries that I shared with my best friends. We took turns and wrote about anything. There were three of us and we read each other’s bad days, talked about boys, bitched about arrogant top ten students in our class and more. It was sweet because there were encouragements as well.

I have three diaries with me and I wonder how many are there my other two friends keeping. I don’t remember anymore how many diaries we wrote.
