Collecting Pleasures

Collecting can be easy, simple, enjoyable, bring much pleasure and fun as well.Sometimes though it can  become serious,time consuming,taxing,create rifts and friction etc.The bottom line is there are two sides of it so choose wisely.Sadly though many get dragged into the path which brings more unhappiness than joy or pleasure.So, the question is, how come?
Collecting is all about fun so first and foremost you got to decide on what you gonna collect, it should be the items that you fancy most.There are a host of things you can collect, its your call, i for one started collecting fishing reels some time back, in fact i collected anything related to fishing,some encouraged,some sceptical and some critical  but i remember this particular incident when i was buying a vintage fishing reel, a curious vintage watch seller said" Apa lah main mesin pancing, ni bukan antik, orang tak main benda ni, orang main jam tangan lah, ni baru antik"( reels are not antiques,watches are, and people dont buy reels as antiques), i just smiled and said that, i enjoyed fishing very much(at that time)and loved fishing stuffs and that i respected his view.
A few months later when the  Berita Harian GP joran boom hit the country, every angler wanted vintage reels and lo behold, the bloke who told me off about collecting fishing reels offered me a nice reel for a reasonable price." Nak jadi cerita kan".
So lets see what you can collect

M & M collectibles(worldwide collectors)
cigarette tins( there are many different types of sizes, shapes,brand names)

Playing cards- i know a nice gentleman from sarawak who collects airline playing cards,

coke collectibles.

oil lamps

watches and the case/box as well( watch pic missing though)
Woodart- This pic was taken in one of my mentors place in cherating,Pahang.Awesome guy!Awesome Art!

Porcelain items- Check out the Antique Porcelain Collectors FB.Amazing collectors with much passion.

Coin Box- there are older castiron/metal ones mostly given out by the banks.(u can see one at the background UMBC(plastic).My Friend Mr.C  is a ardent coinbox collector.

Airline related items- the items in the pic are from the old MSA( malaya/singapore airlines) before the split
Police/Military items

The list is endless.You can collect anything under the sun if you like and have the money and time to spend on it.One last story to share before i sign off is about the same bloke who told me off about collecting reels.He continues to trade for a living in the same place and guess what does he sells these days besides watches/clocks? CEREK ELEKTRIK( ELECTRIC KETTLE)!  i met him last month and enquired whats the story behind the electric kettle? he answered" SEKARANG ORANG KOLEK NI !
I asked him" NI ANTIK KER?( is it antique?)" he replied" BUKAN KIRA ANTIK,ATAS PADA ORANG NAK KOLEK"( its all up to what one wants to collect).My oh My.What a wonderful world!

Do you understand there is a 12 word sentence you can say to your crush... that will trigger deep emotions of love and instinctual attraction to you deep within his heart?

Because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's instinct to love, cherish and care for you with his entire heart...

12 Words Will Trigger A Man's Love Impulse

This instinct is so hardwired into a man's genetics that it will make him try better than before to make your relationship as strong as it can be.

In fact, fueling this dominant instinct is so binding to getting the best ever relationship with your man that once you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...

...You will instantly find him expose his mind and soul to you in a way he's never experienced before and he will identify you as the one and only woman in the universe who has ever truly fascinated him.

As stated by Stanford Medical, It is really the SINGLE reason women in this country get to live 10 years more and weigh an average of 19 KG less than us.

(And realistically, it really has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and really, EVERYTHING related to "HOW" they are eating.)

P.S, I said "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
