The move

Ok here goes, I am finally taking the plunge. Welcome to the blog. I love organizing and would like to spreaaaadddd the love. I wasn't born this way but I have to admit it was something that was waiting to happen. Some people call it obsession some people call it OCD. While I don't believe I am the latter, I have a bit of those tendecies. But if you see some of the pic I post later in the series, you know I was not aiming for perfection; but I like it if certain things are done certain ways ;-), guilty as charged.

Kota Kinabalu city I now call home. I know, breathtaking isn't it, we are lucky and blessed....

I actually moved to a new city late last year and that has somewhat changed my outlook on how I see material things. I am NO longer attached to these things the moment I had boxed them (a gruesome experience that I don't wish for anyone and mind you we had movers ) and whisked away by the movers in a jiffy. We had to wait 10 days living out of suitcase - us the family of 6. When the container arrived I was happy cause there were things that we should have brought with us which was in the container.. OK I was NOT organised AT ALL at that time thus the suffering. I also didn't researched enough about moving 1000 km across the ocean and the do's and don'ts. I suffered. While I was happy when we moved into the empty house and the container arriving, I suffered. Let me share the extend of this suffering, we had to open a few boxes marked kitchen utensils in search for the kitchen knives and there were boxes i didn't open until 6 mths later. Thats how I know I needed to change. We will have to move in the next few years and I might research and share on "the move". I for once don't want to go through such an unorganised chaotic move.

And I have digress......which will happen a lot on this blog :-). You see the move change me, and spark something up there and change the way I am wired. You don't need the move to change but that is my story from chaotic to some structure, to finding the beauty of organising.....
