Moving??? Tell me about it....
I can't recall when was the last time I moved. 11 years ago?? And back then we were staying juz a couple of years in Malaysia. And tell me about moving stuff in a couple of dozen boxes when we moved from Brunei to Malaysia. Still that was back then. NOW when we are all so nice, comfy and adjusted to the environment, we are going to move again, of course to a better place...hehe
Not that I'm complaining. Ok yesss...I'm complaining about the sheer amount of stuff that we have amassed over the past decade plus years. No, I'm not complaining about the new place that I'm going to move into soon. The huge amount of rubbish and useful stuff is probably as high as Gunung Tahan then I have to agree with someone that shifting or moving is one of the biggest, energy-draining, time consuming things that one certainly have to come across in life well at least once...Thank goodness I don't need choppers or cargo planes to move my stuff. Granted, one can move more than once depending on various factors but of course financial status does allow more "moves".
For the first time in a long time I have to think which should be classified as "real rubbish", "soon-to-be-rubbish", "fake rubbish" and "sentimental rubbish". It gets extremely difficult when you begin to develop some emotional attachment to something that brings back sentimental memories and are priceless. Ok, yeah even some sentimental memories can be ranked differently.
Ya sentimental rubbish can be things that people give you, when that particular person is very important to you. But there are so many important people who have given me all these things which had become sentimental over time. So its like trying to discard something based on how important a person who give you that something is. Granted, I would have called up all those people and say.. "You know what.... I'm going to dump that card you gave me because there are better things you gave me later on. "
(Hmmm, I can see something that looks like a chair flying to me right now.)
Moving is indeed one of the hardest things to do. Its not just about moving furnitures, your oven, your gas tanks, the ASTRO satellite dish/decoder, your water heater, air-cond and clothes. Its about thinking what needs to be thrown away if there's already an excess of them. Its also about whether or not you want to have stuff that reminds you of something so poignant, sentimental and touching that you have to continue having it so that one day you can say...AHhh, I remember this...yadayadayda.. Also, figuring where to put those things in the new house. Ok, buying furnitures is not my business but is kind of when we start choosing which is nice. And designing and planning the layout of the house which of course involves the insides and the outsides.
So yes..I'm moving.
WOW talk about moving. Quite a number of people that I know have done that already this year.
