Clutter
Today is the 28th day of the last month of the Year
of the Snake, a day for clearing the clutter and tidying up the house for the
red posters to be put up. What a good practice!
But it is really hard and slow to decide what to
keep and what not! I could be sitting down there on the floor for hours
clearing the drawers but in the end, the stack of things to keep was much
higher than the pile to throw away! Why? This ticket was from the trip to a
museum and that coin was a gift. Then that was a Christmas card
signed by all the good colleagues of the school office! Next to it was the
programme of the school musical! Can you believe that I still have my report
cards from primary 5?
I also like to keep tins and cans. They come in all
colours and sizes. I give myself many excuses for keeping them such as they
are good for separately holding my
collections of coins,
stamps, shells, book marks etc.
Well, in Hong Kong, space is most precious. If we want more space and can't
afford big flats, we have to clear our clutter. I know but it is just not so
simple!

So my resolution for the
Year of the Horse is not to clutter from the start! By the way, the photo
attached is NOT my room!
