This morning I awoke with feelings of nostalgia as I switched on my old Nokia 6680 and read my inbox. It consisted of messages from various individuals including many ex steads, lost friends and most importantly, loved ones.

I found out there were many many more messages saved in my memory card when I opened it.

There were so many folders inside, Li Ting (ex aiai) - 76 msg, Adriana (meimei) - 538 msg, Bernice (ex aiai) - 959 msg, Ashley Nicole Kelly (ex aiai) - 714 msg, Ying Ying (zhu ren) - 804 msg, Yi Wen (admirer) - 3181 msg, Janice (jie) - 1464 and Xin Ni (1st & best aiai) - 37348 msg. These were only some of the seperated sms folders. My inbox had like around 7220 messages which includes sms received from all other people. Looking through all these messages really brings back nostalgic feelings. All my received messages works like a milestone, collating the memories and events of my school life as well as love life.

Ups and downs, excited moments, happiness as well as sadness; everything. My phone describes it all. Yet now I have to delete every single trace of it. The phone that once acted as a medium to jolt my memory back would cease to exist. I'm selling it off, along with all the memories that came with it. Perhaps this is a good thing. No longer would I have to look through it and feel sad all of a sudden. But then again, it also meant that I would lose the chance to re-read those happy times. So.. is it boon or a bane?

52304 [fifty two thousand three hundred and four] messages is being deleted right now.
I wonder how long it would take.

91 hours 57 minutes 32 seconds of outgoing calls, 660 hours 31 minutes 39 seconds of incoming.
Total call duration: 752 hours, 29 minutes, 11 seconds.

Good bye messages, good bye phone, good bye memories . . .

my thoughts, my rants as well as my memories .
