Keeping A Bit Of The Past



Does anyone in Singapore still remember these Pokemon erasers from their primary school years? They were a huge part of my primary school life (as you can see from the large amount of erasers I have). I'm not sure if any of you played with these erasers the same way my school did, but we would take one eraser each and flip until one gets on top of the other completely. It sounds like a very simple game, but it was one of the few fun things we got to do in school when lessons got boring. I can still remember the nervousness and excitement that followed with each flip, the tense atmosphere of uncertainty that lasted a split second when the eraser was between staying on top and falling off. It's become a game of the past now, but the joy of this simple game still lingers, while the erasers serve as a time machine for me to reminisce this joy. 

It's been a decade since I got my first Pokemon eraser and I'm planning to keep them for a few more decades, in hopes of keeping a bit of the past with me in the fast, ever growing technological society.
