In my primary and college school days, on the day of graduation we would give each of our fellow classmates a piece of, kind of a questionnaire to fill in, as a proof of friendship. There were two kinds of questions on the pre-printed questionnaire that the kids of my culture have to fill in: firstly their personal information, and secondly their impressions on the one who gave you the questionnaire. Most people would fill and return it, because they would also like to have their questionnaire back from the others too. Often there is quite some seen on the paper, such as ‘my pen is blue, my friend is you’ (a lyric from a pop song), Forever Friends (the Hallmark classic figure), etc.
The point I want to make is, we have been borrowing stuff from popular culture, symbols to consturct our own sense of affection and expression from an early age. Something that is not new, something we are already doing before the technological era.
Even I am reading my own hand writings now, I had no idea that I have ever written these kind of things before. I thank my generous childhood company who sent this back to me on my request.
