Memories are meant to be cherish
As cliche'd as it sounds, we all can agree that memories are treasures; something that is precious and valuable to an individual. How could you not cherish memories?
The time you cried in a department store
The time you pee in your pants due to fright from a horror movie
The time you first went to school
The time you made your first friend
The time you first did an exam
The time you first had a girlfriend
The time you cried during the last day of school
All of these are memories; no matter how happy or sad it is.
Memories are special
It doesn't exist physically as in something that can be viewed and felt like a four dimensional video.
It exists merely as a group of neurons sequence in the deepest parts of our brains.
However, we associate physical objects to that certain memories in order for our brains to achieve a jolt to squander for the memory that resides deep in our brain.
That physical object is often called: Memento
And that's the topic of today
Today, I did a huge spring cleaning of my room. And believe me,
IT. WAS.NOT.PRETTY
As tedious as it was, I find something enjoyable about spring cleaning; that is the treasure hunt behind it.
My room is full of memento. I make it a habit to collect objects that associate with a certain memory so I could recall it and feel nostalgic.
This year is the first year I'm not a SMSS student
Such a mistake because MOST of my memento are form SMSS
Among the stuff I found:
- My English Journal when I was in Form Three
- A love poem dedicated to 'her' from 2010 (Strawberry and Mint was the title, gonna post it later)
- A box full of notes
- My SPM trial papers
- My old MP3 from 2007
- F1 Pamphlets from 2010 and 2011
- Keychains from Singapore and Langkawi
- Name tags...from all kinds...and names

When I'm browsing through all of these memento, I nearly cried...
All the good and bad times...
Every single one of them...
Is the reason why I'm here today.
It shaped me...indirectly or directly
And without one of them, I would be a different person...
It's my motivation...
To make more and more memories
And collect more and more memento
