Finally managed to finish cleaning my room. Just for a bit. It was hard and tiring though, and I didn't really manage to clean everything I wanted to. But what I managed to do, was to clean up the war-torn areas in my room.. caused by 9 weeks of neglect in BMT.. Prior to today, I typically had to step over a few items strewn on the floor before I reached my bed. Never really had time to clean up, and things kept piling on my desk one by one.
I ended up having to throw a lot of things away. close to 10 NTUC plastic bags' worth? i don't know. I lost count. But in the midst of all that cleaning up, I ended up chancing upon some items from my past, and i'd sit there reminiscing for quite a bit, wondering if i should keep or throw them away. I hate that. Sometimes I wish i could just leave my past behind.
So i'd sit there wondering if i should keep it or throw it away.. I know i should throw it away, but the sentimental side in me just... felt like i'm throwing a piece of me away. I guess i ended up throwing most things away...
but sooner or later, i'd want to throw most of the things away... I'd want a room such that.. when i DO get married, i'll just need to shift the things i'm using, and i don't have much i'll need to throw away. I hate having to sit through this ordeal again... but that'll mean another 2 days' worth. I cleaned up most of the stuff I shifted from my old house some 6 years ago.... now all i'm left with is all the rubbish i have collected in my various drawers, plus the rubbish on the table, some of which I might still need to use.......
here are some photos.......
BEFORE: the war-torn room. I wasn't kidding!
That's where I put my bow strung up all the way on days i don't shoot. The table then typically becomes my workshop where I make strings, do fletching, etc etc.
My room's used for ironing..... so that part can't really be helped, really.
Not quite standby condition yet!!
Still leaves much to be desired, but hey... at least i've cleared all the items from the top of my cupboard... all my old stuff, all the bugger stuff i have under my bed (which had collected a LOT of dust), and my LBV, helmet, field pack, duffel bag, and all my other army stuff... which had been blocking the ironing area for months now.
