Stop sending me greeting cards! :P
On New Year's Eve, I suddenly dug out the Christmas cards, Chinese New Year cards, Birthday cards and had a good look at them.. Brought a flurry of warmth in my heart... I even saw some cards that was from my primary school days... Primary school days! Wow... To think I had lost contact with my primary school friends... I suddenly had the impulse to contact some of them, to ask them out. I have one's home telephone number, one's address and I couldn't find details of the last one who had moved... Might have to take some effort to find him...
Among the locked drawer of cards and letters, the bulk comes from a Hong Kong friend, who visited Singapore some 10 years back. We corresponded all these years, and I even attended her wedding in Hong Kong last february! Then there were some private cards and letters, some Christmas and Chinese New Year cards.
Anyway, every time I look at the cards, I'll have a funny thought in my head - What am I going to do with them when I get old? I'd want those surviving me to 'burn' them for me after i die... Or else what to do with them? Heh...
Anyway, the drawer is getting very full, and I need to make an effort to stuff the cards into the drawer! Like compressing a suitcase. >.< I even had to throw away some cards that were meaningless, that only had
"Dear Zewang,
[Cards' original message]
From XYZ"
I deem these cards as meaningless if they didn't write anything worth keeping for, but I also keep cards that are really cute. I used to not mind, and keep everything, but sigh... I'm running outta space...
It's not that I don't appreciate cards. I really, really appreciate the cards that are sent to me - it's just that with my drawers overflowing, I don't know what I am going to do with new ones! I don't wanna throw them away you see, being the sentimental fool I am. Anyway, i guess I already have a collection to last me a lifetime. :)
Thanks for all the thoughts and cards that everyone has ever given me. Thanks to everyone in my life, all those from my past and present.
As I grow older, I get to appreciate everyone more.
Sentimental fool indeed. :)
