i'm a very sentimental person. Too sentimental for my own good sometimes i think. Especially during breakups and when it is time to say goodbyes. Which makes it a really difficult time for me right now. Cos it is that time of the year again. Spring cleaning! i can take ages to clean my room cos i can't bear to throw things out. i have stuff which i had kept for decades! Gasp! Big part of my room is taken up by my double bed (fit for a princess of course!). So with the limited remaining space, i really have to resist hoarding. My kind of spring cleaning is to take my things out for an annual airing. Play, read, or look through that item. Wipe away the dust. And put it back where it is. :p Horrible ritual right? No matter how early i start i would always end up finishing on New Year's eve. That itself is quite a miracle actually. hee....
Next goodbye, my grandparent's place. Grandpa had a shophouse which was my first home for 7 years. Even though we had moved out long ago, it was always there even after they had left us. i always remember the reunion dinners where the whole extended family would cramp into that small space. It was probably easier when everyone was still kids. After grandma left, the reunion dinner shifted to xiaogu's place as Grandpa shifted with her. But the shop was still around and we would still go visiting during CNY. After Grandpa left, the shop was still a gathering point before setting off to visit Granduncle. But after he left too, i cannot remember what did we do the last CNY. But now, the shop is to be sold. It seems that the only link to my grandparents is going to be cut. It makes me very sad. That place is the only constant in my life and it is soon going to be gone.
