14-12-2023 (KUALA LUMPUR) A young woman from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has garnered attention after showcasing her cherished rotten pillow, which she has been using for over 25 years. Despite its severely damaged condition, the pillow holds immense sentimental value for her, and she carries it with her everywhere she goes.
Intan, a 25-year-old Malaysian woman, shared a video clip on her TikTok account @innnnnn_tan, revealing the worn-out state of her beloved pillow. The pillow has deteriorated to such an extent that it is challenging to recognize it as a pillow at all. Intan disclosed that she has been using this pillow since 1998, meaning it has been a constant companion throughout her life.
Not limited to just home use, Intan takes her treasured pillow along everywhere she travels, even when sitting in the car. Despite its almost unrecognizable condition, she has no plans to discard it and has no desire for a new pillow.
