Histories

Yesterday night after dinner at home, I was suddenly inspired from nowhere to find my neoprints from school days. Did I say I'm not a History person many times here before? I realised, after looking back at all these past stuffs I am more convinced that I am not!

To me, every day in History couldn't be any better than today and tomorrow.

Yeah, I still smiled at funny moments caught on those tiny stickers, but, it's not very nice to see myself in 2 high pony tails with short fringe okay. Definitely not with the flat hair I spent hours using water to comb it down in toilet either. That is why I won't be showing those neoprints here muahaha.

'How I wished I'd trimmed my eyebrows meeting him then!'

'Gosh... Which side of my brain told me to do a pose like that...'


Sigh. The ME then must have thought the new hairstyle I did was much better than yesterday's, and even yay-ed.

Then, since I don't like History, why am I keeping all these memories in that shoebox?

Seriously, I HAVE NO IDEA. For a clean and green Earth? Reduce, Reuse, Recycle? Or, am just being superstitious that throwing pictures might get some ill-omen when bad people pick them up? I don't know!

Maybe, I just kept them to proof that I have a better present and future, to serve as a reminder and encouragement that nothing as bad as yesterday will happen today.

Not really... It didn't feel like any of the above reasons.


It felt.. just like my blog. I don't read my past entries.. I will only retrieve them for information I need.



Haha guess I am too bored to be pondering all these... It's fun though, thinking about why you will do it this and not that way.


And the reason, I realised, couldn't be any simpler...



No matter how much I hate History, I need memories...



I need memories to remind me how much I have grown, I need memories to reaffirm decisions that I have made back in the past, I need memories to help me decide the correct path to go on, and I definitely need memories to guide my kids, grandchildren and great grandchildren in the future!

Memories are what made me the way I am now!




Phew. Glad that none of ME in any day of History decided I don't need memories anymore. Thanks to that pony-tailed Sandy in 1997 who slept through History class! THANK YOU.



To the future Sandys, I am glad to be part of your growing up memories! You are the best today! Look forward to tomorrow too, cos' you won't wanna miss a better you!



And hey kid, stop laughing at your mommy. She was a really solid babe to be writing all these down and showing you right now. Learn from her will ya!
