a surge of nostalgia-part 2

I spent a couple of hours reading old letters. letters dated back to 1997-when it all began. It was really entertaining=) afterall these were all once a thing of the past and probably constituted what i am today. a rough gauge wld see at least 90 letters in that plastic bag, excluding the 30 odd letters written on fulscap (Imagine how many trees I killed then=X) that I threw out abt a couple of years back while emptying out my drawer. kinda nolstagic but there were heaps of them and they are currently still exploding from my drawer. wow...8 years of letters and still going. obviously not so many these days but i am grateful for those annual festive cards. b/w age 12 and 14 was the peak of my letter writing experience and i must say that they were great memories. kids say the darnest things=P contents include little trivialities like westlife-nick carter's teeth and hair and how pretty huan2 zhu1 ge2 ge4 was and to gossips abt test results and teachers to thinking of a plan to overthrow the choir committee and stuff=p. But sadly, i have no idea where all these penpals have evaporated to today...except for a few.

besides the beautiful memorable letters and their own fanciful-pretty-girly envelops, there were a number of (precious) items in there too. things such as US coins, a few poems, a keychain, free postcards, a couple of bookmarks, a memo pad, a postpet brochure (WTH was that?!) and the lyrics of a mandarin song called xu3 yuan4 ('make a wish' by leo ku and gigi leung) written out neatly by my senior.

i've still got the 1st xmas card from shu dated back to 1997 abt her dec hols. haha. =) there was a very girly letter too. i am really thankful for a friend like her=)

oh and i came across a very interesting phenomenom. haha. =X geez i really can't recall what i said then. it's 7 years ago but anyway, one of my friends/penpals wrote "IS WEILIANG GOOD-LOOKING?" =) and abt how she always saw this ex-nyps boy walk past her place. heheeee.....

man, i can only wish that when i die, i can take away all these memories with me to the netherworld. put these letters in my coffin. thank you.
