Boxing Day "Spring" Cleaning

Once the cleaning bug bits you, you can't stop cleaning lol. It's Boxing Day (not that I have much to do anyway) and I continued with my "spring" cleaning. Today's target is my book cupboard. I started in the late morning and didn't finish until 9:30pm! You would think that one cupboard is easy peasy. Oh I was so wrong. I am either a hoarder or I am just sentimental. I kept lots of things in that cupboard from my SCGS-NJC student days until my MOE HQ working days (spanning from 1984 to 2003). All totally forgotten until today! 

I was in ELDDS in NJC lol

Assignments and course notes from UQ and NIE

My beloved Battlestar Galactica books and comics!! KEEPING! :)

I realised today that I have lots of memories hidden away in the cupboard from my SCGS-NJC days, my UQ days, my NIE PGDE days, my NIE MA(Applied Psy) days, my teaching days, my MOE HQ days - lecture notes, assignments, photos, meeting notes, etc. Amidst the taking out of books, files, notes, etc, the cleaning and the re-organising (including deciding what to throw and what to keep), I was also reminiscing and sharing my fond memories on Facebook haha.  
In the end, I had to harden my heart and threw out all my lecture notes (if I haven't look at them in the last 10-15 years, I probably won't look at them in the near future). Now my cupboard looks a little better, not so crammed. :)

Notes & To Do

I was fiddling around and trying out the different (free) Notes/ To Do apps on App Store. I downloaded a few to try out: Sundry Notes, MobileNoter, Infinote and To Do's. I don't want to pay for something and then realised I don't like it. (Actually I bought Notepad Pro but I prefer something more colourful after I started using it haha :P) So it is quite good some of the apps have the free version for you to try out before you pay and upgrade to the Pro version.

So far, I like Sundry Notes. Quite colourful and useful as digital sticky note pad. :) But I think I need a To Do kind of app. To Do's is not too bad but it is boring lol. :P Maybe I should pay and get To Do for iPad. It is like a real planner. So fun hahaha. :)
