collection of odds and ends

pack rat, that's one of my secret personality...i'm pretty sure most people don't realise this...but it's who i am...i can never discard anything...ask jaja and gegel...i got boxes full of junk that i can never manage to be part with...i remember i collected stuff from when i was 9 and still collecting...


things that i keep include tissues from restaurants, hotels and theme parks (heck i save them just to remind myself i've been here and there!), ticket stubs from plays and movies (i know it sounds psycho but i rarely watch movies, i watch like maybe 1-2 times a year, i'd rather spend money on shopping or food than watching a movie that i can watch online huhuhu...so that's justified) and recipts...omg!i got tons of recipts that i'm pretty sure have faded and deserved to join my other wastes in the waste bin!


lots of people said i have so little stuff when i got tons and tons of them...they just don't see them...the super secret is, yup...it's a super secret...thus no peeking....anyhow, i think the 'disability' of chucking stuff away is my endearing trait (says who?says me!)...i am fond of stuff...when u don't have much anyway, u tend to hoard...i have this thing, that i think i may want to use some of the stuff i keep so i keep them for future use...up until now, i went and reuse probably only around 5% of these stuff...i can never even chuck my old torn and tattered clothes...


proof 1: i have 3 skirts that have torn hem and tears...i still keep them, hoping one fine day i will wake up and mend them...from this i learned to sew and mend clothes and linens...it seems to me almost all of my clothes will experience some sort of tear in their lifetimes...from loose buttons to torn hem, i know how to mend them all...i love all of my clothes...yes i regret some of them (impulse buying and i found later this or that dress makes me look bloated and pregnant but i still keep it) but i still love them...i pay money for them so i keep them no matter how tattered they are due to wear and tear...


proof 2: i even keep the boxes of stuff that i buy...i keep my laptop box, printer boxes (my sister said she can even hide in my printer box, that's how big it is taking space in her room underneath her bed), perfume boxes, heater boxes, present boxes and any sort of boxes as long as they are intact and are able to keep stuff in them...hey, they are useful for me to put all sorts of odds and ends i manage to keep...


proof 3: even containers cannot escape my collection...i collect plastic food containers from my take-outs...this is good as i reuse them for future use (reuse for the environment...oh yeah...err...)...other sort of containers such as water bottles and shampoo bottles are also part of my odds and ends...i can't seem to part with things...


i can list thousands of proofs of my 'pack-rat' behaviour but let's end it sweet...let's say i'm an avid general collecter shall we?
