~17~ COLORFUL Collections

During my "balik kampong" trip to Penang. I carried away my collection of feathers back to KL. It was in a old diary, dated 1978. I started collecting colorful feathers since primary school, in 1983. In my habits, I used to throw or give away things that I don't want. I never give away my colorful feathers, however, I have stop collecting it.

Second collection that I have is Barbie doll costumes. A friend of mine, Ai Lee gave me a Barbie doll in Nov 2004 with intention to give it away to Andrea. Guess What? I kept it for myself, I secretly keep it in a shoes box and up in my cabinet, away from Andrea's eyes. Along the way, I keep on buying new costumes for the doll, costumes by costumes until one day I realised ~ I want a Barbie doll. When I was a child in primary school, I saw the launching of Barbie doll advertisement and I want to have one. However, my parents could not afford to buy me one. I kept the dream long enough until I shared my awareness with Avril, and I received a Barbie Princess as my Christmas present in 2006.

The PAST
I thought I have bought the BEST choice of toys for Andrea, cooking set, colorful drawing books, crayons, color pencils, water colors, colorful blocks, colorful learning aids that I do it myself. I didn't know that it was me wanting those toys. Until I realised one day, those toys are for me ~ The Little Prisca.
Now
Me and Andrea will shop for anything we want together, she will make her choice, so do I.
