For many, a childhood companion is the cherished "bantal busuk," aka "chou chou," aka "smelly pillow." In most cases, it has already worn out and never to be washed. Therefore, it's usually in a grimy appearance. But have you ever seen a "stinky" so worn and rotten like this?
A woman in Malaysia took to social media to showcase her 25-year-old "bantal busuk," which has become a tattered mess and is barely recognizable. Despite its sorry state, to her, it's a priceless "treasure."
In a TikTok video, the woman is seen sitting in a car, holding a piece of "rag" and sniffing it. However, her way of sniffing is peculiar; she rolls up the "bantal busuk" and inserts it into her nostrils...
This piece of fabric is actually a small pillow, but after enduring 25 years of wear and tear, it has become worn and ragged. She mentioned that the "bantal busuk" has been with her since childhood, now entering its 25th year, and even in its dilapidated state, she has no intention of replacing it with a new one.
Whether at home or in the car, she always keeps the "bantal busuk" with her, almost inseparable.
The video has drawn various reactions, with many expressing understanding of her emotional attachment to the "bantal busuk," while others are grateful not to have such an item. Some have shared their own experiences of parting with their "bantal busuk" for the sake of health.
For those who have their own "bantal busuk," they can probably relate to her sentiments. It's incredibly endearing!
