20100901: Clutter Let Go

I thought I'd learn of letting go,
but a tinge of meloncholy filled the air today.
The feeling surged like a whirlpool in my empty room.

I took a moment to taste the feeling I'd long forgotten.
Left behind not to be found again.
Until today, the memory lingers & seems to come alive
as I place each item into its compartment.

In another time and space,
remember that sleep deprived night
remember taking out tons of trash
remember cleaning up the closet
remember the coffee & the cold in the aire.

The sweet of joy in everyone's face
as they turn up to say farewell.

maybe this time, Do Not Let Go No More.

20100628: Needless Things

I am surrounded by needless things (a.k.a clutter) due to the former habit of shopping & constantly picking up dead chicken. I'm not one of those impulse buying type though, I hope. Recently I have this stronger urge to reduce demand and increase supply so that the price of things will fall and they will become "ded-chickieen" for me to pick up. It's become like a cycle to achieve my goal, the only thing to do is to wait it out. Hmmm.

How did I conclude that I'm not an impulse buying type? First off, I seldom use my credit card, picking up points for exchange of gift is beyond me. I was having shopping session few days in a row with parents, siblings and friends. I found that people are more prone to spend when they're with their friends rather than relative. One thing is I did not spend money on buying my things during my parents' recent vacation here. LOL, except for the $10 France world cup Giordano T shirt on cheap sale. Hahaha (had to laugh at those Francee' for crashing out, next team I wanna sabo I will buy their T-shirt). For that except for paying for all my parents' shopping expenses, food and utilities stuffs, I didn't spend another single dime... So, only $10 for the whole 5 full days of my parents shopping getaway. Conclusion, I'm not one of them people who feel overwhelm by the hugeness of the high-class shopping center environment, seeing something overpriced and wanna show off they can spend their hardearned blood & sweat money against their normal better judgment in an air-conditioned place full of people waiting to service you with a smile as if their salary depended on it. Nah... not my thang.

This urge I had for reduce demand and supply, well... Me and my buddies conclude that after watching world cup we should do green tiles, green roofing and green everything. One of the goodness that becomes of this is to "j00" g00ogle map's accuracy satelite spy cam on our roof top. Going green and recycling maybe good for our earth. So, if we demand less, people will produce less & mnc company like the one I'm working for will have less customer demand so our supplied output will be less, hence reduction in OT working hours & green house gas emission & I can go back home while the sun is still up & have some quality time daily to update my blog instead of 1 time in 2009. That's the green life all stemming from watching world cup & insomia. Ding...

Ded-Chickieen, there are few types
1) Dead due to sick and throw out in trash.
2) Those kampung chicken crusing in mid air & kena windscreen.
3) Walk walk pok-pok & suddenly the "kai" pokkai drop dead from over feeding a.k.a heart attack.
4) Old & ripe enough to become brands essense of chicken
5) Chicken that wouldn't lay egg & won't die
6) Good chicken that got thrown out for no reason
7 ) etc . . .

Now about achieving my goals, I looking back I think I set them too easy. So, the only thing to do now is to wait.

20100529: Clutter 2010-5

It's almost that time of the year to clear my room clutter again. Hmmm... I declare Vesak day as ClutterDay. hehehe... On this day, I will do things related to clutter.
Start by random reading about clutter:
We are in influenced by things, events, and people closest to us. So it is absolutely logical and advisable to first start clean your bedroom clutter fengshui. The wonderwear under the bed, the skeleton clutter in your closets, sell/throw/flush/burn as many thing as possible not used in a long time. Take out all the items that create visual and heat like TV, computer, PSP (walao, i think i hit a really old article(http://fengshui.about.com/od/thebasics/qt/clearclutter.htm), nowadays TV is everywhere, especially in bedrooms LOL, well just go along with the reading), that do not belong in the bedroom. Exercise equipment, office/work related items, storage items. Ehhhhh... so in the past the bedroom they only put bed?
Other interesting read:
1) The bigger the piles got, the bigger my dread got.

20080805: I Know What You Did To Your

Fruit Juice & Milk Boxes:

20080805: Apples in a Box

Fruits tend to clutter up and rot in the fridge, I found this box to arrange my weekend food, cleaned and plucked, ready to be consumed immediately. An apple a day keeps the doctor away... soon the clinic will be out of business. :-)

20080801: Clutter Other People

Stumble upon this pictures of other people's clutter. Before the clean up and after, looks fantastic. Thought I reexamine the potential of an empty canvas over an over crowded living space & tranform it into some art for easy living. :-)

20080726: I Know What You Did To Your

Timberland wrappers:

These wrappers from Timberland are ideal as box wrappers for my new colour scheme.

Like what they say: "Don't Wear It, Use It".

20080719: I Know What You Did To Your

Nirvana T-Shirt:

"Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be. as a friend, as a tramp, as I know memory... ya... memory... ya...".The moment I heard this song and it's addictive melody, Nirvana & Kurt Cobain became a permanent part of my existance.

This is my one and only favourite Nirvana black rocker's T which was very popular during college days.I've "out-sized" the T-shirt but the smell of teen spirit will be permanently encast in an LCD TV cover at my living space. :-)

"Long live Nirvana."

20080617: Clutter 2008-6

I took this picture while cleaning up. Usually there's no clutter. So I just created some all around just for the title's sake. Enjoy!

20070429: My Ink Painting

I'm suppose to clean clutter today... but instead I spent 1/2 day sketching this room from Orange Days drama [& listening music & eating kuachee]. Not artsy. I'm painting a mental picture as to how a clutterless room looks like. :D The layout is similar to my room in Japan [minus the Sadako :D. actually, that's Shibata Kou.] I used those ball-point, ink pen & high-lighter I could find. I need to work on the lines & control. Must practise more often. Jaa ne. Time for a nap.

20070424: 3 Cats

I bought this 3 cats at a closing down sales somewhere. If they didn't discounted the price, I never would have considered 'em.
Anyway,my favourite one is the kuroneko in the middle. "Black cat, 9 lives, hard day long nights ...."

20070407: Clutter 2007-1

Clutter is a part of my life, these are the pictures I took of my clutters today. Neat huh... I just can't throw away things. & when I do scrap, I only discart a small bag. I seriously need to stop buying things & start recycling. Like Sinead O'Conner: "I do not want what I haven't got." .... Nah... Jaa ne... ;)
