Last month, I helped my dear friend, Earl, to move his stuffs from the old loft to his new abode at Bukit Jalil. I thought I’ve trouble throwing away things, but this fella has more stuffs than I do. A very handy advice for people who are shifting, please ask your friend to help you because it will help you save time and space.
Time as he/she will help you throw away things which are not useful but you can’t bring yourself to throw it away. Given reasons include I might use/read/wear it again. Believe me… you won’t.
Space as you’ll need to find space to store the above mentioned items, which you swear you will use/read/wear again, whereas in reality it’ll be left forgotten among the pile of things that you’ve assured yourself that you’ll definitely use/read/wear again. Do you see a pattern here?
I used to keep stuffs like notes, school bags, erasers, bus tickets, VCR tapes, name tags, shoes and the list goes on and on. I had my drawings, notes, text books from kindergarten until Form 5. Crazy right? I keep telling myself that these things will become useful one day but unfortunately that day never come. The stuffs that I’d thrown/donated are more than those I’d moved to my apartment.

And that is why my room is like a time capsule. ;)
Since a few years back (marraige issues), I've been moving about a bit. Somehow I don't really keep much stuff with me anymore.
(Yay, new post!)
I toss plenty of stuff. And I'm amazed Earl is a hoarder.
But but but~ those are so nostalgic~!!! I would cry if i were to throw those lap sap away~ in fact i did cried when i moved just last year~ *sob*sob*sob*
Nivlac loves to throw things away too.
Yeah I know... :P
The best rule to determine whether a thing is lap sap or not is to ask this question: Do I ever use/need it? If you hesitate to answer, then it's a NO. Proceed to throw it away.
Sam: date back to Jurassic!
Ban: You're a minimalist!
Savante: Me too
Jason: One keeps and one throws to keep the balance...
Alex: Good advice! :P
