The end of Jan

Whewh! In a blink of an eye, January is coming to an end. What have you done this month?

Me, I celebrated my birthday with some good friends. Had mad fun on a secret project which I know will work. Handled my finances this month, though with less discipline than I'd imagine. And planned for a trip to Manila in March, which is mad exciting because I'm planning everything myself!!

I've also been sorting out my room. I realise that I have a cluttering problem -- but not in a way that you think.

Mostly, I've been hoarding items like boxes, paper bags, boxes - basically any reusable stuff. Looking back, I did this because I wanted to give these things a second chance, to be used as something else. To wrap Christmas presents maybe, or re-purpose into pencil holders, or re-craft into new cards. 

But time has a mean, mean way of depriving you of essential moments to sit down and work on those things. SO it ended up becoming a habit to hoard stuff but for no absolute reason.

Therefore, I have decided to "clean" everything away that I cannot find a purpose for. Tossing things out is painful, admittedly! But its better and healthier. 

Plans in February? Maybe another family dinner. Go to Damai with the family during CNY. (We're not celebrating since its less than a year since my father passed away.) I still have some books and papers to sort out before fully declaring the spring cleaning over. And what's life without some movies and fun now and then? :)
