Hello friends,

Do you have anything,something you treasured too much like a ring,a piece of furniture inherited from generations,your baby dress,pictures...anything which is kept for a very long time?

I remember to ask this question my friends becoz last night i opened my sister's friendster account,and i saw our pictures taken during our grandma's funeral.And,i remember how old her house,it was built before the 2nd world war(1941) as long as i can remember,our grandma told us that,that house was built around 1920's.Thu it was reconstructed and some renovation was made,the woods especially the flooring were not being changed.And some old furnitures were being restored too.

How about you friends,any old old things you have?happy

Yes,, a cupboard from my grandpa.. My grandpa already dead when I was born,,so I never see or know him personally. He give that old big cupboard to my mom. Then my mom give it to me. Actually, that cupboard is big, made from teak wood and have 4 foots. The color is dark brown,and there's big mirror in one of its door.
When we move to our new house, my mom gave it to me because I've already have room for myself. That cupboard sent to be repaired. Now the color is light pink and we cut its foot. The mirror still there. I use it everyday. Instead of having special make up table, I use that cupboard. I put all the make up inside its drawer (in the door beside the mirror). I stand in front of mirror, open the cupboard door beside me and make up myself.. Now that I grow up, I don't think that cupboard is big anymore..

I do not like to keep antiques furnitures or buy antique things. I maybe like antique jewelries or heirloom pieces, But I am not a heavy collectors. I really feel like a tingling sensation or associate antique things with the past are own by past generation. I avoid collecting it as I may encounter some spirits who may feel bad if I keep it. Not really superstitious person, but I do not like to collect antique pieces. But, I love to see and feel it but not to keep in my possession. Somebody can keep it but not me. So far my oldest collection are few photos of my ancestors which I try to upload in my heritage sites which would be available even to my grandchildren in the future to see. They may compare their looks where they got it..

Hello neel,

hehehe,you were scared of antiques my dear,just like what we can see on horror movies wink.I don't believe with those ones.I also don't collect antique things,but,i like seeing my grandma's antique things and what i like most is the door on her room.It was a solid door that when you close it,it makes a sound like "THUD"..even if you close it carefully it still makes a sound.
That's a good collection you had,i also had collection of our ancestors photos,a geneology,for my kids to see and trace their descendants and for my grandkids too.
Thanks for your responce dear,have a good day always happy

Hi. I think the oldest thing that I still have is my black and white picture when I was still one year old. I was wearing a set of tuxedo which was tailored by my now deceased grandpa who was a master tailor. That time, we, the four eldest grandsons all have our own sets of tuxedos. The three other cousins of mine have photos that time but I don't have their pictures, I was able to save this mine.

Hello neil,

That's great.I always like seeing kids wearing tuxedo's,they look like small grown ups looks so cutewink.
I could just imagine you looks so cute with it ,just wish you also had save or kept your small tuxedo,since it was tailored by your grandpa.
But the picture is good enough then,to remember your grandpa and your tuxedothumbup

I am keeping my kiddies uniform as remembrance of my first uniform! and my first mobile phone, which is so much heavy compare to the one I am having now.. and I am sure my eldest uncle keeping all the furniture inherited from our previous house which lived by my paternal grandparents.. these stuff are just too sentimental to be dispose..


myLot reputation of 98/100. jaiho2009 (11604)   ranked 20 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Hello cwong,

Kiddies uniform,that was great of you to have your first school uniforms being kept.
I also had my kids first baby dresses kept.
The first dress they ever worn when they will being released from the hospital,i had it kept.

Yah,furniture from our old folks were too sentimental to be disposed and i guess it's like giving away a part of our lives too.So,better keep it for our next generations and teach them how to value old things too.

Thanks for your responce dear,happy weekend ahead happy

I have a beautiful Cigarrette box from Christmas 1914. It belonged to my Grandma's father when he was fighting in World War 1. I'm not sure what it's made of, but I think it's copper. Anyway, it's polished and it looks really nice. Considering I just came back from Ireland today, I can't show you. I could have taken a picture if I was still over there.


myLot reputation of 98/100. jaiho2009 (11604)   ranked 20 out of 19,273 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Hello Sparkz,
