My family know me as 'junk' keeper, because I keep so many stuff from my past just to save the memories. The oldest stuff are coming from my Elementary School times, it was more than 20 years ago's memories. Trust me, not all of them are important but as you know that they are so valuable. I really want to share those stuff's background stories on this blog, and I'm doing it now.

a tiny perfume bottle

This lovely thing started filling my memory box since the year 1999, for your information, I did not have the perfume, it was an empty bottle! My best friend back in Junior High gave it to me, well, more like I asked the bottle from her! ha ha ha, it was a perfume from Mecca her relatives brought her. She consumed the perfume less than a week and there was just the bottle! When I asked whether she want to keep the bottle or not, she said the bottle was mean nothing and she just intended to throw it away, I couldn't believe, such a cute bottle! She was happy to gave it to me, whenever I check the bottle now, it always give me a glimpse of sweet memories of her. Her name is Ana. Oh I miss her so much! We've been apart for more than 16 years now.

a pearl necklace from Lombok Island

This necklace is from my dad! Though it was for me, he did not buy it for any purpose, so here's the story. When I was around eight, a salesman came in to the front door and offered some pearly accessories. He (The salesman) was really excited about it, of course. He said things about the products, like it's original ans so. It was because so many fake pearls in the market. I was there watching him speaking meanwhile my father was listening with his hand doing some work (well, the salesman came in during my dad's workshop time). I felt sorry for the salesman because I thought my dad wouldn't be interested. But then this question came out from my dad to me,
 "Do you feel like you want it?" I was surprised that my father offered me, I nodded and then we purchased it. It was around four dollars back in 90s. The salesman happy, I was happy, and my dad seemed could not let him go without anything after his kind bubbling.
After the salesman went out the door, my dad explained to me that actually he was noticed that the pearl product weren't so good, how so? I asked him. He knew from the pearl shape, my father said it probably will be damage soon, it won't be endure for a long time. Do you know what? I think my father was wrong, because it is still look good until today, yeaaay!
The pearls shape is just exactly the same as we bought it, they're not really perfectly round!
