Neither

To-do list:
1. Tidy up the room.
1. Decluttering

Here comes the chicken-and-egg question.

This is exactly where I was stuck at. Often in the midst of tidying, I thought I'd get rid of the junks first, that are left untouched ever since they had settled in there. And each time I pull the pile of things that once labelled to have sentimental values out, I would stop and walk myself down the memory lane and eventually allow myself to place them back, as if they were meant to be there. Those are the things that my mom would coin them as, junks. Erm for example the red packets that I have collected over the years, articles from old newspaper that I have yet to read, leftovers from each DIY attempts, seashells from beaches I went... and many more, for a person who can't help herself from adding different sorts of collectibles into the collection.

I often lose my sanity when I ran through all these in my mind. Because it is an impossible mission to de-clutter literally! The most I could do is rearrange, or throw them some away. And as usual judging the values of those stuffs and deciding to keep or throw, for an indecisive person like me, can use up one whole week without eat drink sleep, that's if I were to. Now imagine the clutter ugh.

Sigh this post is not going to give myself more excuses to avoid the task, I hope. Keeping things that are once memorable could be heartbreaking but placing them in the dustbin requires more courage than I thought. There are still many things that I prefer not to touch, not to be reminded of. While those fated to be in the bin shall never be mentioned again.

I am back

HELLO IM BACK (in the blogosphere).

The reason for not updating is, simply being ashamed of my typical boring routine that will never intrigue any of you. Well, not that I'm implying this entry would though...

For the past few weeks, I have been treating my stomach well, to the extent that I eat even before hunger strikes. Having said that, I no longer practice the frequent-tea-time as I did back in Glasgow then. The previously-mouthwatering M&S cookies and Belgian chocolates have somehow failed to appear appetising to me. Weather does wonders heh.

Besides that, I have been busy decluttering. My pigsty is in a mess and I mean it. This is like what, the top of the to-do-list everyday. Which is left overdued a million thanks to my laziness. Everytime I look into the mess in the drawers, I just wish I'd never open it or more ridiculously silently hoping that things will rearrange themselves when I open it the next time. Well, there will always be a tomorrow right?

Hee, I am not being coherent again and it's time to sleep. Night.
