Throwing away of the OLD

I was clearing my drawers in my study when I saw this bunch of cards: 11 ICC worth S$10 each and 6x M1 top-up worth S$18 and 1xM1 top-up worth S$28 and 1x M1 top-up worth S$40; A total of S$286... all spent in less thana year to call the previous guy I was with who was studying abroad.

I used to tell myself and him that we can make a long-distance relationship work. I do not know what I am trying to proof, nor who I was trying to proof it to. Over time the relationship became lethargic, and I shall not rake up the past unhappiness. Well, thanks to this guy, I've grown up and met my current Dear who is physically older but still mentally young and fun!

I am now in the process of my yearly ritual spring cleaning, which is always not done until the very last minute just as my chinese new year guests are climbing up the stairs. Opps. I'd better learn to be a better homemaker (these things take time to become a second nature habit) so as to better prepare myself for my future life. Of course, daddy and mummy will be happier to come home to a neat and nicely done up home than a pig sty!

So this season I will throw away more old stuff, not be too sentimental or thrifty :" this is remembrance of blah blah", " this thing might come in handy, so keep it so that next time no need to spend money to buy"... All these are traps which cause the massive accumulation of unwanted "useful in the future" stuffs that makes the most of the clutter.

Anyone who is reading this please give comments, encouragement, household tips etc. Thanks :)
