I took out a box and dumped many similar favours. While doing so, I still have 'feelings' for those gifts..only to retrieve some back because of "Oh, kenangan ni!"...yes...my very exclamation every time I was about to dispose one... How now? Salah I kaa? :D I don't want to be a hoarder but some things just had to be nostalgic. Why-lah! I even surprised myself with vivid pictures in my head of some weddings I attended some years ago...hehe...from the people I knew among the guests, to the conversations that went on, and what were the gorgeous foods served. All came back to me with one look at each favour I was about to throw.
In the end, I had nothing to throw!
But, something gotta go...
My only trash that day...numerous paper bags!
Updated:
Not to worry guys!
1) The bagful of paper bags made its way to the re-cycle centre. My good friend, Jusniar, a principal of a renown school in Kepala Batas, dropped by the other day to collect this black bag, hehehe..., and some other things from me. Her school came up tops for collecting the most re-cycled materials.
2) MyC is a member of her Green School society and, was a participant of the Toyota Eco-Youth, 2010. Please read about it here. ;) So, you can just imagine her sensible approach towards the environment. She makes sure I don't use plastic bags but instead to carry my green-bags for grocery shopping and to the market. Hmm...what else? Oh, only a minute ago, she popped her head into my room and said, '...mummy niii, off air-con tu please....it's so windy outside and it's going to rain...save ler sikit karan!" Muahahaha)))
Well....what can I say? Anak siapalah ni....? :D

May I copy paste this wonderful entry of yours??? Harharhar <- gelak guilty kekdahnya.
It is even more difficult if you have 3 other members of your family who are ever sentimenTOL, hadoiii...

Aunty Lili,
I hope you put them in a recycle bin. Imagine how many trees have been cut down to make those bags. purrrr *giggles*

Akak,
Hahaha...Ni ler first time I dengar orang sewa umah macam godown jer!
Satu sebab kenapa I tak redeem barang2 yang diberi free dengan pembelian. Macam ubat gigi Darlie tu selalu aje ada pinggan mangkuk free! Saya tak kutip tu, tapi hubby suka ambik. Hahahahaha!

Hi Lili, enjoyed reading your this eloquent and humorous post.
And yes, there's always be surprises too when we come across old momentous.
And then the tough decisions, 'to keep or throw? Ha ha.
We had that very tough decisions when 6 months before leaving for Canada.
Can feel tears coming at giving away or destroying things kept from young. The decision to bring or not to bring.
I had taken out more than 25 years large Executive diaries and old note books to burn....
But sitting down in the backyard looked thru them before putting into the fire.
Then realized I was going to destroy all my memories and experiences.
Brought them here, and then 7 years ago discovered blogs....the rest you know.
Ha ha ha, I really like your, "in the end had nothing to throw".
Lili, here's wishing you and all at home,
Telah berlabur tirai Syaaban menjelma pula Ramadhan.
Saya ucapkan moga berjaya menunaikan puasa dengan Jayanya.
My best regards.
Lee.
Dear Lee,
Wow, you had me giggling too at your comment! Well, what are we without the memories, eh, Lee?
I think you should write about this too, after all the tears of watching the fire singeing each page of your 'memory'...hahahaha
