Reminising...










Left to right: "War submarine", "Cannon", Some Car, "Hornet"
Hidden from sight, old and forgotten.
I suddenly remembered there were these thingies. When I took them out, they were filled with dust so I had to clean them. "What are they?" You may ask. Well, lemme tell you, I seriously don't know what they are, but I just know they are made from correction tape casing, and sometimes made by the tape itself.
Hmm, I started this since P4 but lost interest the following year. How did it get started? 'a' (anonymous) and I first found out that we could grind pencils to form 'graphite powder' with the more or less, sharp edges of where the gears are in a correction tape. So next we begun building figures and sticking them together with sticky tape. But we found it too 'not nice' so we changed to glue. I was quite a waste as we did not bother to use finish the correction tape, we just threw it away. But someone came up with a bright idea: Let other people use it quickly so it wouldn't be a waste.
Then 'b', somehow recruited more people to form a club. Then there were like a lotta different kinds of 'jobs' and 'b' made his/herself the leader. This we didn't mind 'cos he/her was responsible. The club's mission was to sell this type of thing for charity, but we only managed to earn $2 :'-(
And then 'b' was making things really complicated like asking me to go and create an entrepreneur account on some website. 'B' wanted me to put my email address and created a draft website on my Science P4 PSLE Booklet. Even when I didn't want to create one, we still had fun making those thingies.
The next year we al had to change classes so there was less time for us to interact so the whole club just shattered like broken glass. And I really have no inkling why the thingies are with me. But what's left within them is a good piece of memory that I'm sharng with you all.
*Sorry for the bad picture arrangement
