ONE of my precious things inside my head--I MEAN, INSIDE MY BEDROOM -- is this rambutan-size ( in other words, its size is like a typical rambutan!) Berlin Wall rock. This was given to me by my friend, Nang Inday T. A couple of years ago, she travelled to Germany alone to visit (Khalid, "to visit" is an infinitive, OK?) (Are you listening, Vercheyde and Roj?) a close friend. I was levitation-happy when she announced about her "pasalubong" (English translation, please.) to me. Wow, a historical piece of stone!
What is Berlin Wall? (Fine, let's add the article, The, as in THE Berlin Wall, OK, Sophie. Sophie is that cute baby character in the movie Life As We Know It!) The wall was actually a "barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic. Read more on this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Wall
The Wall was, let's say, to separate East from West for some "deep" reasons (Do you still remember Alanis Morissette's I Am Giggling For No Reason?). And by around 1989 to 1990, the cement-based wall was chipped down. Therefore, it became a worldwide-hit souvenir!
