Somehow I managed to find the urge to clean up my full-with-unnecessary-stuffs cupboard. I still remember in one of Oprah’s shows that you have to get rid of things that you rarely use for more than 6 months…and my things were like just stuffs with lots of memories. The house is très small so, keeping those sorts of garbage stuffs would not make things any easier.
The momentum of my clearing process was inconsistent because I tended to just flip through the cards, letters and diaries to see what the old me had written or received from other people. It was amusing to me that there were a lot of amazing things that I went through but somehow they did not stick in my mind. Well, life was kind of occupied as my goal before was quite focused on trying to fulfil my mum’s desire and expectations.
Coming back to the clearing process, I had a final good laugh, embarrassment and tears seeing the old things that I had but as it was time to let go, I only kept some
) Anyhow, my glorious stuffs did have one of the things that caught my interests ---> the introduction part of my year-2000 diary. I was a big fan of Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys and still am but it was funny that I did submit to one of the fanatic fans’ features, eg: having the stickers all over the place, not limited to the sticker album that I had. Regarding my old ambition, I was shocked that I wrote that I wanted to be an engineer because I now realised I’ve no interest in that field at all. But I am so glad that the part that I wanted to enrol in a university had been fulfilled. Yey for me! I hope that I can fulfil the second part of the goal too. 
Despite of my lack of interest to have any ambition or clear goals these days, I find that it is indeed worthy for us to have written about them in any part of our life because when we managed to look back at what we had have in mind before, it can be a good weightage of seeing how much we have changed. Seeing my old stuffs were undeniably exhilarating and liberating. This reminds me of an essay that I wrote in 2005 , if I was not mistaken was entitled “What will I be in the next 10 years”. The essay was/is with our ex-tutor, not sure if he still keep it. I could not remember what I had written but I’m sure am curious about it…

I baru terbaca dalam hadith pun ada. Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Empat perkara yang membawa kebahagiaan iaitu wanita yang solehah, RUMAH YANG LUAS, jiran yang baik dan kenderaan yang selesa.” -Shahih Ibn Hibban, no: 4032
I terfikir kalau rumah penuh dengan segala barang, mansion pun takkan nampak luas, btul tak? Motivasi untuk menderma, n berwakaf apa yang tak digunakan.
