Things You Find In Messy Rooms
October 18th, 2006
‘Clean Room’ has been at the top of my to-do list since forever, so today i finally decided to get off my lazy ass and actually do it.
motivation? i really need to use my desk. i dont know if i’ve ever mentioned this, but there’s a huge pile of stuff on my desk that prohibits me from using it at all. (except of course, to dump more stuff on.) gah, it’s been a whole year since i’ve seen the surface of my desk! i know that because at the veryyyy bottom of the pile are my SPM biology books, still open to the pages i was reading right before i sat for my exams in November last year :P
anyway while cleaning my room, i found a lot of crap i completely forgot i’d kept around. here are some of the more interesting ones -
1. My old diaries
there were three of them from the years 1997 - 2000. i took some time off to read them, and i cant believe how naive i used to be. back then everything was centred around my friends, both offline and online. the littlest things intrigued me, and i would write such looooong entries about them. it’s all quite funny, hehe. 2001 saw me getting a blog, and so the diaries died there.
i also found another diary from the year 2002. this one was a chronicle of my relationship with my then boyfriend. HAHA that was one hell of a dramatic relationship. i wrote down everything - our dates, how we would sneak out to meet each other, issues with the exes, issues with third parties, getting called to the principal’s office for our open relationship in school, his smoking habit and how i hated it, his mother catching us doing stuff she’d rather not have seen… hahaha and lots more. ah, young love! the cuteness of it.
2. Chocopies
from Sri Lanka! remember? they still taste yummy. i just had two! i keep telling myself to refrain from having the other two so i can save em for brekkie tomorrow. argh tempation.
3. RM 100
damn kan cheong, i was throwing out a bunch of folded a4 papers, when i decided to check exactly what papers i was throwing out. so i opened them to find .. RM 100 in between the papers!!!!!! wtf! why do i simply leave money lying around in innocent-looking sheets of a4 paper?! cis stupid me. *stuffs money in pocket*
(yay, got more money to shop)
4. Loveletter and a Photocard
the letter was for my exboyfriend, and i found it in an Isetan bag full of art supplies. i have no idea what it was doing in there! it’s dated June 2004, and was a confession of sorts. i cant remember why i never gave him the letter, cos after skimming the contents it looked like a pretty safe letter to me. hmmm.
the photocard is a pic of me and aforementioned ex, one we took in Singapore on christmas eve 2004. at Bugis Junction, one of my fav places in SG! found the photocard in a bag of trinkets i bought from Singapore, but forgot about.
5. Cosmetics
there was a whole bag of BRAND NEW UNOPENED cosmetics from MAC in this black toiletries bag i never used!!!!! wheeee :D i was completely over the moon when i found the stuff. it’s like getting free cosmetics from my fav brand, even though technically i paid for it :P
6. Exboyfriend’s Yearbook
i found a high school yearbook belonging to my very first ‘boyfriend’, buried under a whole stack of Cleo and Female magazines! i remember how i wheedled at him to let me keep it, and how reluctant he was to part with it, cos the yearbook was from his graduating year. the above pic is his class photo, hehe i’ll give you a prize if you can guess which one he is.
i dont really know if i can call him my boyf because we were never actually official. it’s so funny how when you’re 13 all these official-unofficial things matter :) i had such sweet memories with this guy. we barely talk anymore, but when we do, it’s like we never stopped communicating at all.
7. Cassette
there was this play we staged in the year 2003, my classmates and i :D it was called Snow Dumb, a parody of the timeless classic Snow White. we recorded the entire script on cassette cos we didnt wanna use microphones, and i remember we had a ball of a time! benjamin eating pizza and then fainting, before Darren the Prince Charming came to the rescue. and then … FREDDY CAME ONSTAGE. hahahahaha. omfg.
i would so love to listen to the recording on the cassette but i dont even have a cassette player anymore. damn obsolete lah, these cassette things! i cant believe even in modern 2003 we were using cassettes!
8. Kiddy Pics
i found a few albums of pics from my childhood under a few shoeboxes. the above is a pic of my cousin bro Derek, me, and my cousin sister Eva in front of a big Shangri-La styrofoam castle! this photo is from the year 1991 (check out those lacy socks, yo) - i was 3, derek was 4, eva was 5. now we are 18, 19 and 20. and so many years later, Shangri La is still around- i just went there for dinner the other day! i could have walked on the same spot we were standing in 15 years ago! so surreal.
and 15 years since the above photo was taken, we now look like this -
arent my cousins hot? *wiggles eyebrows*
the whole time i was cleaning up and finding all these forgotten treasures, i wished so much that there was someone with me. someone special whom i could show all this stuff, someone whom i could share with all the stories and memories behind the things i found.
ahh. but Martian is in Mars.

The sweet memories you found from your messy room. Haha, and let me guess…your ex is the one standing 2nd from right?
And gosh, you haven’t sleep yet. Nite!
2. mrbherng | October 18th, 2006 at 6:11 am
That’s quite a bit of memories. I wonder will I be able to find anything that can give me sweet memories of my childhood. I should try… when I get back home again next year =/
3. prawn | October 18th, 2006 at 7:01 am
Wow… ur room must be really really messy with that many memories hanging around =P
Im guessing the guy sitting on the right of the teacher is ur 1st bf, correct correct? Is the price the RM100 u found =P
4. ria | October 18th, 2006 at 8:45 am
this was such a lovely post.. makes me wanna start digging up through my own pile of mess back home. hehe.. that kiddy pic is just sooo cute :D oh, and congrats on the “free” makeup. hehe.
5. Kevin | October 18th, 2006 at 10:36 am
After you clean your table, leave it so you can stack up stuff over there for another year. One year from now, you can clean it again and it’s like opening a treasure box. Got money, got cosmetics, got food and got writings..fuhh kuat giler.
6. Waifon | October 18th, 2006 at 11:01 am
Upper 6 and form 1!? so brother- sisterly O_O… red shoes and frilly socks. Frilly socks were like my assets cos they rock. Used to rock….Those were the days :D eh, can i come clean your room ah? better findings than an escapade to treasure island cos ur room got girly stuff. me wants no gold coins… what for, cannot give me voluminous lashes also…
I think the best part abt cleaning up my room is to find new bras and thongs untouched with the smell of the stores still lingering on it. damn stupid la to sniff undies (very kinky also :p) but i like the smell of new books, new clothes and everything new with the straight- from- the- supermarket’s- shelf smell. i sound so demented but yeah, im weird like that.
7. Ken | October 18th, 2006 at 11:38 am
hmm, you and your cousin have the same cheeks
8. reallybites | October 18th, 2006 at 11:51 am

9. Jimmy | October 18th, 2006 at 1:34 pm
