Living with rubbish all this long

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

Due to the unbearable messiness in my room, and the promise I’ve been keeping so long that I’ll clean it up during the holidays, I’ve done it both yesterday and today. It took me 2 nights (5 hours) to clean up only 2 parts- my desk, including drawer and my shelves.

What took me so long? Because more than half of my things are RUBBISH and I’ve not clear it for centuries which I think I haven’t been cleaning up for more than half a year. The main point is why are there so many damn rubbish?! I’ve noticed that I’ve this weird and bad, very bad habit. I love to collect things, from postcards (I’ve got over hundred!) to stamps (at least some stamps are valuable) to stickers (there are just too many stickers and I ended up sticking them around my drawer, why on earth did I collect them?) to cards/ envelopes to angpaus (why??? Some are even normal ones you could even get it in pasar malam!) to coins to papers (a very bad habit cause I like keeping all of them to recycle and reuse them) to Arsenal merchandises (not very weird la but quite waste of money, but what to do?). So now you see how I manage to clear up until 4 big plastic bags of rubbish except for Arsenal’s. I think I’ve got this weird thinking last time, and why it took me so long to only notice that those are rubbish?! It’s so so ridiculous like I’m some kind of retard, like to make my drawer pile up with unused stuff. While throwing them away, I kept questioning myself, why on earth do I collect them?? The worst is I don’t even remember keeping them. I think it’s because I like to put them in one place and leave them untouched for centuries but not thinking of throwing them away.

Still there are plenty of places in my room yet to be cleaned. It’s like infinity spaces in my room and rubbish everywhere. It’s true that one of my friend said that she will throw away more than half of my room’s things. I will stop keeping unused things, be more cruel to them, throw them away or donate. I don’t want to live with rubbish!! But I’m giving myself a big clap first for being such a good girl hahaha.

Another record!

Wore formal for the whole day today, from 8.30 a.m. to 12.30 a.m. Wonder anyone ever wear formal for such long hours. Don’t get me wrong, I dislike wearing formal a lot! I rather wear something more comfy..Anyway, back to explaining why. I had presentation in the morning and it’s only 1 presentation and therefore i need to wear formal and class will not end till 3.30. After all classes, Bing, Step, MC, Lynn and I, all of us have to rush to Times Square to sing K to celebrate Step’s birthday cause happy hours are only until before 7. Therefore, I had no time to change! 1st time wear formal sing K, 1st time wear formal shopping and 1st time wear formal celebrate birthday. Thank goodness I did not wear heels. It’s a good thing that I dislike wearing heels. Hopefully next time don’t have to wear formal for so long again even during internship. Sweat…

rating for outing today: 9/10- 1 mark deducted for being too exhausted, partly because I only had 5 hours of sleep and partly is because of BING!!! Made my mouth so tired…

After this post, I might not be posting again till quite some time I guess. Cause been really busy lately. A lot of research papers and final projects need to be handed in. After shooting for Advertising final project, need to do Pop Culture report- 3000 words, then move on to doing powerpoint, then to finding informations for English Literature and make my own notes for presentation which is due on next Monday, next to finishing my double spread (used 7 hours plus to finish it), print them out and do sketch book, continue with Advertising project- editing, start doing English Literature individual assignment- 1000 words, start preparing for Pop Culture quiz (next Wednesday), prepare for Design Layout presentation and lastly, final touch up for Advertising project and prepare for presentation (next Saturday). After all the "asses" and presentations, I only could rest for a tiny short while then need to study for finals!!! Though it’s only 2 subjects la haha. Can’t believe I need to rush everything like SH**…

After all, I’ve sacrificed my half day’s time celebrating Step’s birthday. She should be touched hehe… Oh ya, teacher MC set a date for me to sit for piano exam. My god! It’s on this Friday! I haven’t started practising yet. I’m so gonna fail! :(
