WORK IN PROGRESS...What can I say....I have this horrible weakness of not completing projects that I have started. The list is pretty long. There are ones that I can pack up and keep hidden in a box (for years) like abandoned sewing ambitions and repair of clothes and such articles and those that cannot be stuffed into a box like the 4th wall in my living room waiting to be painted. It has been waiting for more than 5 years. Apa la..? But visitors never seem to notice it. Or if they did, they never said anything (out loud). Now, I am even thinking of repainting the whole house...
In my quest to de-clutter, I've thrown out some projects. Literally sent them to the dumpster. Kenapa? Cause the 'lil ones who were measured masa semangat berkobar-kobar nak buat tu, won't ever fit into them even if I did eventually finish sewing them.
So, I really actually do not have any hobbies since I am BAD at following through ape-ape pun. Kalau nak buat ape-ape, it must be pertinent that I complete it OR ELSE....such as cooking lunch, installing the piping, plumbing and shower in my bathroom, sewing school uniforms (baju kurung) for my girls...stuff like that. Itu pun, after making maybe a couple of sets each, the third set may hibernate till winter comes to Malaysia.
So the cat is out of the bag!
This time, since time and tide awaits for no man (or woman), I have pledged, as a new year resolution that I must complete all projects that I start.
While I sit drumming my fingers on the table, thinking of the yards of cloth that I have bought with ambitious intentions over the years, I wonder if that can materialize. Anyway, I have 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 living room, 1 store room, 1 laundry area and 1 kitchen to sort out. While flying from one room to another figuring out how best to rearrange furniture and finding homes for specific items and stuffing unwanted stuff, I realize that, hey! I am human, and I know this will take more then 3 weeks. I have one more week left to get the reorganizing and de-cluttering done whilst baking some cookies. Another to get school stuff ready and baking blanks for next year. The De-clutter and reorganizing - 60% only completed. So I gotta buck up and get things completed. I do not want to start the year like last year with so much regret. Menyesal dahulu pendapatan, menyesal kemudian tiada gunanya.
LIFE IS BECOMING TOO SHORT TO KEEP PUTTING OFF DOING THINGS and completing them.
