chireh and i were walking along sun yat sen memorial hall when we thought of our classmates from gradeschool or highschool who were born to privilege ... we were not born to privilege ... simply put, we were not born rich ... don't get me wrong, we're not bitching about that fact ... but we did remember some of the things that we were envious about ... things that the affluent kids got to enjoy ... things we only gaped at ...

(1) the crayola crayons with the gazillion colors ... with color names that you definitely won't find in a color wheel and that will never be mentioned in a "normal" conversation on colors ... ie, cerulean, periwinkle ... chireh and i finally made this dream come true ... mine was given to me as a bertdi present from jeni and dallas and aeon (jeni's nieces) ... oh looooook, look at this - http://www.crayola.com/colorcensus/history/chronology.cfm

(2) the "swiss knife" pencil case ... this is the pencil case which has it all ... with "two doors" - front and back! ... pencil and pen storage area ... magnifying lens ... sharpener ... eraser holder ... scissor ... razor ... freezer ...

(3) stuffs from gift gate ... anything from gift gate ... back then, it was the "in" thing ... it was a "status symbol" ... being able to buy something from gift gate, you will probably get this reaction - "huuwaawww, gift gate!" ... you get your hello kitty, sanrio, kerokerokeroppi (a favorite of one of chireh's classmates) knick knacks ... we've yet to do something about this ... but when we have the chance, we'll make sure we'll go out of gift gate bearing ultra-mega-big gift gate bags ;)

fun facts ... i can't remember having any collectibles ... chireh had tansansss (bottle caps).
