By old t-shirts, shorts and pants, I mean clothing that I've worn when I was Form 1 till Form 4. Clothes that I've worn to go catch awesome movies like Batman Begins, to holidays in Thailand and Singapore, to attend tuition in Kasturi. In a nutshell, clothes I've worn through many very memorable times of my life. Well, yeah, I can be very nostalgic and sentimental at times, so to come to the decision to donate these clothes away took a considerable amount of time.
I have to admit, I was a late bloomer, and I have a very poor fashion sense, even right now, I'd always ask my mom's, brother's or friends' advice before buying any new clothes. And back in those days, my parents would always tell me before buying any clothes "buy a bigger size la, wait in the future you grow bigger then still can wear". I was naive enough to believe that I would grow bigger back then. Which is why all the old clothes I have are still too big for me and they aren't the best looking ones.
Trust me, if given the choice, I'd rather keep all those old clothes in a box and keep them somewhere hidden rather than donate them away. But my mom have always complained that my wardrobe is too crowded and if I ever wanted new clothes (which I am in dire need of), I'd have to get rid of my old clothes. Thus, I had to come to the decision to give them away...
Picking which clothes to donate wasn't an easy thing to do. I wouldn't want to go through that experience again. Painful. But in that process, I recalled an incident that happened way back during the Malacca trip with my high school friends where Miss Yin Thong left her jacket in A'Famosa Waterworld and we went back the next day in hope of retrieving it from the Lost and Found. But it was nowhere to be found. Lester said to Yin Thong and Syn Dee, who all went to look for the jacket "旧的不去,新的不来". Which basically means old stuff must go in order for new stuff to come. I know my translations sucks =D Haha...sweet memories can really soothe your feelings at times and help you make decisions.
So, it's time to go shopping!!!
Also, farewell, old clothes!!! ='/
