I'm so bored, that I'm blogging for the second time today.Stayed home, had a little spring cleaning with mum throughout the whole afternoon. So that explains why I'm not online as usual. A real massive cleaning of the storeroom. Yes, not to deny, we're full of rubbish. Finally getting to clear the real 10 years of rubbish, that we initially brought over from Serangoon.
To as much as we realised while clearing the store, there were tons of toys. To my surprise, many of them are exactly the same. Oh my, those toys of mine - memories. I actually do remember stories of toys though. And if I'm not wrong, after a few rounds of clearing by mum and sis, we still have had 3-4 boxes of toys.
Which toy should I start with? I'll start of with those Mcdonald's toy. I think all the people in Singapore would have known that for every Mcdonald's Kid's meal you buy, you get a free toy right? Then after purchasing, you may purchase additional toy if you want(that is if I'm not wrong, or else buy another meal. It had been ages since I've gotten Kid's meal). I dare not even dare to dream about how many Mcdonald's Kid's meal have my family and I eaten, that causes my size now. Toys from Mcdonald's ranges from the well-known famous Hello Kitty soft toy, 101 Dalmatians to Snoopy and even more. It's seriously countless!
Sad to say, out of the 101 dogs that we had been having with us since 10 years back, we're only left with 69 of them. I've got no idea where the other 32 went. Probably they died of suffocation or hunger in the store. So I had the 69 of them sent away. To some of mum's friend. They wanted it, and they don't mind so we gave. Same goes for those Stupid Snoopy and Hello Kitty.
Still more toys, those figurines toys. I don't know where the heck I've gotten them, probably from my brother. But those in good states, are given away, and those that turn sticky and yuckie, had been dumped.
More and MORE! BLOWPENS! Think there were this period of time in Singapore, which blowpens were in trend. Most kids will go, "Mummy! I like this. It'll help me to be more creative and it'll help me in my art. Would you buy it for me please?" Mine actually works, Mum bought them for me. And I enjoyed it very very much. I love those markers and stencils. Having the objective of this springcleaning in my mind, I told my Mum, "Ma, I'll give this away okay? Since I've got no use of it now." That's what I did, so new owner for the whole set of blowpens.
MORE! Mickey Mouse Pool Set. I remembered the story of this very clearly. I once had a pool set(kids, duh) that my best friend's Mum or Aunt gave it to me for Christmas. Mum was quite unhappy that they went on expenses to buy me expensive gift. But she still allow me to keep it. I love this present so much, I brought it with me when I was living with my relatives. Hence, nature of kids, loving toys so much, I took out to play. Nephew joined in, and spoilt my toy. If I'm not wrong, the balls went missing. So Mum decided to throw away, since it was incomplete. Somehow the angry and stubborn Pamela, would make feel so guilty of throwing away her things to get her a new set. And TADAH! my Mickey Mouse Pool Set(: But still, I gave it away. Because I'm no longer playing it, why not share it with some other people's kids and make them happy.
When we brought the Mcdonald's toys, Blowpens, Mickey Mouse Pool Set and some other stationeries. My Mum's friend saw the Pool set, and he went, "Snooker I want, I want" He immediately open up the box to see. HAHA, it feels good to share some love though.
Came back up and continued. A box of my Barbie collection. They are still in good shape. I can't remember how I got my Barbie Set, and the story behind it. But if I'm not wrong, it's my Dad who bought me that. And all I remember about this set of barbie, is I LOVE IT ALOT! I would play with them all the time. Somehow, I get over it after playing with it for few minutes just now, I told Mum, keep it and we'll give it away as well. Sad. But Mum allowed me to keep a few smaller ones.
Open up more boxes, and more things came out. Soft toys, and more toys figurines. Even Polly Pocket. How many of you actually remembers what is polly pocket? I do. Haha. But I told Mum, Ma it's too dirty already, and so many missing pieces, dump them. And we threw them away.
Oh ya, Barbie and friends are still in the storeroom. Haven't take down to Mum's friend, because we brought down too many bags already, got to think how they bring home also. So there'll be more rounds of going down to give them the toys and stationeries.
Remembered that I've got this Playdoh set in the store. It's Mcdonald's set. Can make fries, burger, Ice-cream and more. It's soon gonna be given away too. That one is Dad bought it for me at marina square.
Oh, cleared tons of clothes too. Especially those clothes of mine. Numerous. And oh my fucking god, those clothes' size shows how much rubbish I've eaten over my 17 years of life. We should 1.5 bag full of clothes(the black thrash bag) with another to-waist-height newspaper. And guess what?! It only cost S$2?! Freaky but true. And that Garang Guni so irritating. Selling him so much things, he kept asking if we had more. Until me and Mum irritated, we decided not to sell him anything anymore. And wait for the regular uncle to come. So 3 bags full of clothes waiting to be sold.
Me and Sis did cleaning of our room last night too. Got 2 fans out of our room. Which Mum initially argued to keep to repair and can be used again. Somehow, this afternoon, we got it dumped. Trust me, the bin place downstairs, is full with our rubbish. Boxes and Boxes of them. Even Sis can't believe it's ours when she came back from work. People at this neighbourhood would dig into your rubbish and pick up whatever that is useful or wanted. So some 'treasures' were picked up.
So now, do you have an idea of how much rubbish is being kept in my house?
And there is more to come.
I'll blog about the next time I have a massive springcleaning session.
And oh yes, Sis quarrelled with Mum just now, because sis wanted to throw something, and Mum doesn't. And argued that she gave in alot by throwing away alot of things already.
Whatever.
HOW MUCH MONEY HAD OUR FAMILY SPENT ON THE THINGS WE'VE THROWN TODAY?!
Think wisely before you buy things now. Probably it'll just end up in the bin, like mine, 10 years down the road.
Where will your things be, 10, 20, 30 years down the road?
And what I've just typed, is 3 pages in Microsoft Word.
