My mom-in-law has started spring cleaning in anticipation of Chinese New Year. I was surprised when we went to her house today. Boxes, books, old clothes and many more boxes of garbage were strewn across the driveway. She has decided to clean up the store room once and for all. Lots of unused stuff are thrown into the store room and many of them are never to be seen or used again. For instance, there is an entire box of skincare and acne products which has expired years ago. Books and papers dating back decades. Old clothes which can be categorised as retro left gathering dust. And tons of old cassette and VCR tapes and even vinyls. The recyclers are going to have a field day when their truck arrives tomorrow.
