Muselisation

Was doing a spring cleaning for my room today, dug out all the soft toys that are on my displat shelf. Forgot when was the last time I had move them all out and give their house a spring cleaning. As I was removing each and everthing from it original place, different memories from different part of my life started floating in my mind. Some of the toys were those I got during childhood days. In particularly a coin bank from KFC, remember those days when I was young and still a kid with single digit in my age. Back then my family was quite poor and many times my parents couldn't afford expensive gifts and toys for us and it was only on special on occassion that they will bring us to fast food restaurants for meal. During those time, being able to have a meal of KFC was like the happiest thing that could ever happen to us in our life. Though a goldfish memory person I am but I can remember things we use to do, places we use to go and moments we use to share together when I was young. This memories left concrete prints in me that there is no way one can remove it just like that. Believe me or not, those free toys that we got from the happy meals are still in my display shelfs. Some of them may have been discarded by my mother during some spring cleaning but trust me I still belive which toys are that.
It was a long way and a tough way my family have taken to attain what we have today, though we are not rich but comparatively we are in a much better situaion than we were in the past. All these effort very much goes to my parents for their perseverence, things don't come by easily and there is always a price to pay behind every success. These are what I have learn from years of hardship.
