Things you never got to do and stuff you never got to say

Yeah, on the subject of rummaging through my house, I found another few interesting trinkets I'd forgotten about a long time ago. A little stuffed dog in a plastic bag found a new home on my shelf. A plethora of souvenirs from China were unearthed. But most nostalgic of all was this:

Haha, lookit that, clumsy and homemade from head-to-toe x) It was form 3 if I'm not mistaken. A Christmas present :)

Open the wrapping and whaddaya get? A lil container made of manila card. Haha, it was hard for me to get out of the house and buy a present at that time. What's inside it I wonder?

Haha, wow, a stand made of satay sticks covered with coloured straws, held together with thread. Heh, see the huge yellow smiley face? So corny x) Let's examine it closer shall we?

Seven strips of paper in the colours of the rainbow, with a little green bead in the centre (you can't see it, but its there) strung together with needle and thread. And a little tail with another 3 green beads, and a transparent flag made of cello tape x)

And inside the smiley face,


Haha, aww. I blanked out the name(s). Malu la Xp Seriously, the stuff I did ><

But I really did want to give this to her. I guess part of the reason was that I was shy. It doesn't look very good and I was afraid it would look out of place under the Christmas tree x) The other is, well, the chance was really hard to come by. And I never have the courage to take that extra step.

Lesson learnt: Always take that extra step whenever it is necessary. I've spent loads of my life cowering under the sheets wondering what would have happened if I had taken that extra step. Well, don't.
