I’ve started spring cleaning early this year. Chinese New Year is only one and a half months away so I started with the storeroom last Monday. It has always been my choice to start with the crammed storeroom filled with useless stuff from wall-to-wall. If we didn’t sort out the storeroom every year, god knows what species would breed down there. Spring cleaning, to me at least, means getting rid of unwanted stuff. The problem is deciding what to throw and what to keep. I have a rule when it comes to making such a decision, if you can’t give me a straight answer what you’re gonna do with the stuff, bin it.

I also cleared out most of the stuff in our home office cabinet. It was full of dust despite being stored in cabinets and drawers. I threw away lots of stuff – CDs, computer hardware (lots), books, magazines, and many more. Some of the stuff like tape drives and floppy disks, the big black ones, I didn’t even know these things still exists. Off they go into the recycling bins. Books and magazines though, I’m going to sell them to used book dealers.

The bedrooms is on my list for the next few days …
