Old Documents

I'm at wits end. I've searched everywhere I can think of but couldn't find the receipts. Instead, I found some old documents and really, really old documents. Among them...

The receipt of my first handphone purchase dated 14/10/2000. It's a Nokia 3210 which I used for a really, really long time before I changed to the 6610 model.

I also found Putra LRT first customer certificate. I'm among the first 5000 people who took the Putra LRT. I'm sure I took it from the Kerinchi station while I was doing my extended practical training. Extended because the company needs my service but they're not hiring yet. So instead of 6 weeks practical training, mine was extended to another 3 months and I patiently waited because it was 1998 people. Job was hard to come by.

There's also my secondary school outing book. I was in a boarding school and we can only go out 3 times per semester. That includes shopping outing or going back to hometown for a holiday. We have to get our parent's signature before we get the school's approval to go back to hometown. I forged my mother's signature all the time. With my mom's knowledge of course. My parents were divorced when I was in form two. Life was hard. Mom can't afford to come and visit very often and I don't want to risk losing the outing book in the mail. So forgery it is.

I also found... my primary school report card. I switched school after Standard One and I couldn't find my Standard One report card. I only have report card from Standard Two and here it is :)



Can you see how my position in class deteriorated? Then my father banned TV until I can improve my grades. Mom allowed me to watch some cartoon in the evening for half an hour before my father returned from work. The present I got after my final year result... my father would bring me to the public library when he returns for lunch at home and I can stay there till he finished work. I love reading so I voraciously read all the books and borrowed 4 every day. We can borrow only two but the librarian was kind enough to let me borrow 4. That's how I spent my year end holiday.

OK enough reminiscing of the past. I still couldn't find THE receipts. Sigh! Search to be continued to an undetermined time and date because I have things to do tomorrow.
