Hard Times

You know times are hard when your mother asks you out of nowhere how much your childhood stamp collection is worth.


To me, they are priceless, since they are my earliest gateway to the world. Through these stamps, I learnt about world wars, kings and queens and revolutionaries, where coffee and tea comes from, and which country is famous for what. So no, they are not for sale currently. Maybe when hard times turn into desperate times then I'll be left with no choice but to part with them. My mum said if each one can fetch at least 10K she'll retire and sit at home. Fat hope.
