Gifts from Childhood

13th Oct 2024


With a heavy heart, I had to throw some of my precious gifts I received from my friends when I was still in primary and secondary schools. :( I have kept these gifts for more than 10, 15 years, some could be 20 years too. Since I can’t keep them anymore due to moving house, I took snapshots of them and post some online for remembrance. Sharing some below:

2 extra long pens from JieLynn, if I remember correctly, they were from India.
Photo frame by Wing Lam back in 2010, when we were in 1 Jaya (form 1). Look at the eyes already turned yellowish 🤣
This metal pencil case was from my primary school form teacher, 谭老师 when I got top 10 in school ranking. It was either from 2008 or 2009. I used it to keep a lot of cute, mini erasers that I collected since 2004.
Typical Chinese school students with multiplication formula that we memorise since standard 1 and since then engraved in our brain.
Snowball decoration from Charmaine back in 2009. I can still vividly remember it was from S&J, a hit place to buy gifts for friends back then. I wonder if S&J is still around, probably not, seeing how online shopping has bloomed.
Really nice handwriting by WeiWen. She gave us a farewell gift in 2019 when she leave the company.
Curvy pencil as a souvenir from Japan by 姑婆.
Music notes pencil by my piano teacher in 2008.

Side track, also sharing random items that a typical hoarder aka me kept for God knows how

Sea shell and pine corn.
Universal Studio Singapore (USS), Garden by the Bay (OCBC Skyway) - SGD 5 and Singapore Science Centre - SGD 8 for kids, SGD 12 for adults entrance tickets.
Back in 2013 and 2014, 11 and 10 years back.

Hong Kong Business Trip

 21st - 25th August 2024 An unexpected work trip to Hong Kong! When I just joined this company in Jan’24, I wasn’t expecting any overseas work trip. It is one of my goals since I stepped into my career life. I always wanted to be able to work overseas, even though it is not a full time overseas work now but a work trip is a great opportunity to me too! Hong Kong was never in my to-go list in my travel plans so a chance to visit without me paying for the flight is definitely a bonus for me. 🤣 Some film photos of me for my first visit to Hong Kong! 🇭🇰  Bird’s eye view of the skyline at Victoria Peak (The Peak). Monster building (Yick Cheong Building), a high dense residential building located at Quarry Bay. Another side of the view from The Peak. Chasing the sunset at Belcher Bay Promenade, Kennedy Town. Taking photos of the sea.

My Christmas in year 2013 is an obvious contrast compared to the previous years and I'm glad that I had loads of fun! Pictures are from Jeffrey's and Charmaine's album and a very few of mine ;) 23/12/2013 (Monday) It's the day before Christmas Eve. Usually, I will just loll around instead of going anywhere since it's school holiday but for now, I'm going for carolling! It's my first try and everything went well and amazing. Before proceeding to 3 houses, we rehearsed in the church. There were only 2 people who I didn't meet before and they are Emily (she looks pretty and pleasant :P)  and Noel. While rehearsing. Some carols that we sang: 1. O Come All Ye Faithful 2. Silent Night 3. Hark! The Herald Angel Sings 4. Go Tell It On The Mountain 5.One Small Child 6. Calypso 7. Joy To The World 8. The First Noel and lastly, 9. Feliz Navidad We prayed before we leave for carolling. Esther gave this to everyone  (it's Nescaf...
