TeeeeShirts!

Found some time to go through my wardrobe just now. Whoa, it was like going back in time.

Unfortunately, I've become quite a hoarder. There's a period of time when I have such a strong reluctance to throw things away. Maybe that's why you still see me wearing the same old clothes from yesteryears.. haha. Well, after a while, I'm beginning to feel like I've left an exciting and fun filled life behind in exchange for adulthood, obligations and less exciting daily events in life, less clubs, social groups, outings and games... and having Tshirts for free for being a part of an 'era'. I'm sounding ridiculous, I know.

Just going through my stash, I've got Tshirts from (excluding PE Tshirts) Secondary-JC-Uni CCA Tshirts, my volleyball jerseys, my house colour Tshirts for sports days, School and Church camp Tees, Orientation Tshirts of Various colours, Hall Tees, Beach volleyball Competition Singlets and School competition Tees... Heavens, even our Cell group made Tshirts!! And oh how precious they are to me! All those memories just comes flooding back on the commitments, aspirations and hopes we had for the cell printed in cute Tshirts. It even has my name drawn on it (and a printed pig with wings... hehe)

Just looking at my wardrobe, I suddenly think that my life must have been quite exciting and it was over.

Makes me want to mark the rest of my life with little 'tidbits' of memorabilia... maybe just photographs will do... (See how simple my expectations are nowadays?)

What am I going to do with all these Tshirts?? Donate them?

Maybe I will line them up according to the year I got them (as it is written on the Tshirt itself) and take photos of them and paste them into a book of Tshirts or something. (See again? I can't bear to let go...)

Now I have no club or sports or activities group that I'm a part of. That means no more Tshirts to mark my life. So sad. It means I've got nothing to do!

But silly me, life is not marked by how many Tshirts we have. It's now how satisfied and happy we are, where we are, in what we do, in who we have around us... and maybe more.

Still, it's nice to have an event-filled life.

My latest free Tshirt is a crew Tshirt from a movie my company is working on (it's almost finished!) in which I was involved in very minimally, and my name is not even on it. (It has the names of my colleagues who handled the project though). But I'll keep it anyway, even if just for a while. :)
