Do you have an autograph book?
[autograph book: Book containing autographs of famous or not-so-famous people, typically collected by an individual.]
In my case, I am referring to a book containing autographs of not-so-famous, but has a place in my heart people.
OK. I am showing you my current most matured autograph book (argh! forget about those kiddie books where friends write the same poems in almost every single page!)

It was a thick book. And it went thicker each day. Now, it is still a thick book.
I passed around this autograph book when I was in Form Five. Then, it was circulated to my classmates and some other friends in other classes, in other schools. When I was in Upper Six, I passed this same book to my classmates, and also other friends in other classes, this time, in the same school. It went thicker (look pic below):

It’s thick. No?
Some took care of it. Some treated it like a History text book (aahh.. you should know the reason!). Then, my book became like this (look below):

Koyak-rabak!
Some not-so-famous people, but who has a place in my heart jotted some wonderful memories in the book. For examples:

My Interact Club teacher advisor in Methodist Girls’ School (M.G.S.)

A rival-turned-close friend in M.G.S.

And someone who paints well from my Upper Six school.
I was asking my Mum whether I should ask my University friends to write in the same book (because it has a few remaining pages and I thought it would be great if they could fill up those pages), but she said it would be inappropriate as we are no longer school-going-children and that others would thought I am suffering from ‘Down Syndrome’. Hmmmp!
Thus, I took the decision not to pass this book to my coursemates, but that doesn’t mean I am not taking any initiatives to keep in touch with them. Aiyo.. got Internet mar! *whoot* That’s what I learned from Communication Techology.
*ouch*
So, what about you? Do you have an autograph book?

05|May|2008 3I’m a guy and I had an autograph book when I was schooling…*paiseh nia…
However, I had a wacky bunch of friend back then so the book wasn’t really used the way it should have been. Being the class clown, my friend would add their own brand of humor in my book which was pretty fun…those were the good ol’ days where I used to sing Ice Ice Baby with a good friend of mine to impress the gals…HAHAHAHAHA~! (It didn’t work…duh)
*sigh…talking about autograph books just brings back those fond memories…for that, I must thank you, Pelfy, for putting up such a post in your blog. :-)

05|May|2008 4Pelfy, I really respect you on this la. How many people can keep their autograph book for such a long time?
Since I never had an autograph book, that means no experience to share. Now, you go get more autographs to fill up your antique book la! =P
