Wednesday morning, my campus was closed down because of H1N1. I returned to ipoh the very same day later in the afternoon. Well, this post is not actually about the event but rather on something that I have realized that I should have realized some time ago. This is a tribute to my watch and leather shoes that is nearing their time.

My watch started moving slower recently. I even saw the seconds’ needle failed to leap successfully, the normal signs of battery running low. Or at least that’s what I thought. So I went to the shop, and they checked the battery out and say its still usable. I saw the voltmeter showing a quite high reading. But I didn’t bought a new watch yet.

My leather shoes inner skin is peeling off. Not the leather itself, but the layer protecting the leather. Even though no one will see it when I’m wearing it, but when I remove it……. Again I choose not to buy a new one yet. I polished them.

These two items have sweat and bleed with me for years. The Polo Club watch has entered countless exams with me, including my STPM. We have fought battles together. My pair of leather shoes have walked me through almost my whole uni life. I really liked them. They cost me RM200+ each, not much to most people, but it’s the memories that made them valuable to me. I thought we could have forge through my uni life together. So sad…….
