Marvin Chan from the Museum of Shanghai Toys continues with his toy collecting story. In this installment: Marvin relates his conversation with Ah Chun, the toy seller and how he learns about the big buyer trying to set up a museum… the beginning of a dream.
“Please, I really liked the toy. How much will it cost me? Just say a number, I will purchase it.”“SORRY, ALREADY RESERVED FOR THE BIG BUYER” replied Ah Chun.
“How selfish is this Big Buyer, why don’t this big buyer let more people enjoy the fun of toys and want to purchase them all?” is the 1st thing in my mind at that period.
“Why not?” I asked An Chun again.
“Just tell you the truth, this Big Buyer wants to open a toy museum in Singapore, that’s why he bought all the toys.” replied An Chun.
“The idea of this toy museum is trying to reserve “ALL” the toys which played by the South East Asia children. This is a very meaningful job. I am supporting him.” said Ah Chun continously.
(I was shocked when I know someone who wants to open a museum like me, but really feel happy as Singapore has a toy museum in near future. Although I have a dream to open a museum, I know I never has this chance.)
