Clearing out old stuff!

The advantage of staying at home is I finally get to sort all the minor things out.

There were things in boxes that remained in boxes since i moved out of my parents' house, such as albums and old books etc. When I moved out i took everything with me into my own home, and they remained in the boxes in storage for over a year. Now that we moved again, I finally have the time to go through them, can't believe so many junks followed us from one city to another, when they could've gone into the bin ages ago.

I am a collector, I used to collect old letters, books, ornaments and memorable little items. As a kid, that is fine but as I grow older I find myself having more and more junks, at the same time finding it hard to dispose because every time i go through them it brings back so much memories, and it reminded me how long I've had them.

Today, I found boxes of piano books since I was a kid, i do not know why i kept some of them, perhaps thinking i might use it to teach my kids some day. But to be honest, some of them are in such bad condition, I doubt I myself want to play from it. So off they go to the bin.

I already did a big clear out on old mails, cards and letters few months back, and yet i ended up keeping some. I think it's time i really part from them, so that I have room for newer memories.
The special box i used to keep things from Frank since we started dating remains in tact. Some of the things in there though, I have no idea where i got them and what the memory is behind it, maybe i should dispose of such things because i can't remember them anyway, Frank might do, so i better keep it until we have time to go through together.

I still kept my old English tuition notes and essays I wrote since high school. I do not know why I held on to them, that was the only high school work i kept. Perhaps it was because I really enjoyed the classes at ACEdventure (I think that was what it was called), I heard they eventually opened up a private school, good job Teacher Ann! Reading back what I wrote when I was 16 surprises me (more than 10 years ago omg!), I was pretty good :P or it just means i never improved since then and my grammar has gotten worse instead haha. Can't believe I brought all these books with me from Malaysia to New Zealand and kept them in storage for so long....  Yup, definitely time to throw them away once and for all!
