To Keep
I cleared quite a bit of old stuff from my room in Jakarta right after the new year.
Old diary books, university brochures, old magazines and plenty other random things that I can live without.
But I also came accross memorable items that I will definitely keep.
1. My penpal.
My former Finnish penpal -now Facebook friend- Anne Kyro first wrote to me when I was 12 yrs old.Throughout the years, we shared stories about our lives over airmails. Schools, holidays, friends, guys, birthday presents, christmas presents, university, moving, our parents' separation, jobs, life commitments..
I found her first letter sent from Helsinki in 1992 and a series of pictures sent between 1992 and 1998.
We've never met in person to this day. We really need to work on that.
2. My first analog watch.
It a birthday present that Mom bought when I was in 2nd grade. It's a Benetton with brown leather strap bought from a shop in Melawai Plaza. I'm gonna bring this vintage item back to life.
3. My gang.
My high school gang and I spent one Sunday afternoon in the old part of Jakarta, back in Dec 1999.Ayse just joined a photography class and wanted to test her skill by taking our portraits. I found a picture of younger us. 13 years later, we're still a gang. Slightly more wiser and 'slightly' heavier.
4. Camilla the Torturer.
Most senior students exchange goodbye notes when they graduated from high school. But not many took the notebook home, spent overnight to recount the past 4 years in school and wrote a 10 page memoir. Hasief did. Apparently the thing that he remembered the most about me was my collection of male models' collage. And how I used it to (or what they feel like) torture my guys' friends. It's an entertaining account. He always have better writing skills then interpersonal skills. Maybe he's changed. He..he..pissss Heb!
