I think I’m getting better at living more minimalistic. First I thought it’s going to be 100% impossible, as I know I have a little bit of OCD and I grow so attached to everything I own most of the time.

Why did I start thinking about being a minimalist? Well last year when it was time for me to move back from Australia to Thailand, I amazed my parents and everyone else around me with 120kg+ of stuff to fly back with me (thank god the whole family flew business class to help me carry the stuff back) plus another 80kg+ of books and portable air-conditioner shipped to me via boat, I realize perhaps it’s time for me to learn to let go of things.

It’s been three months now that I work in Bangkok on weekdays and stay with my family at home in Chiang Mai on weekends. I now get a better picture of the things I really need to have with me all the time at both locations. And now I can rule out many of the things I rarely need to live.

I used to be very douchey about my workstation, stationary and such. But now, I think I’ve nailed it at being productive on the go, of-course thanks to my spacious office cubicle (ahem) and acknowledgment of the fact that I don’t need more than just a pen, paper, a MacBook Air and an internet connection to get at least 80% of my work done.

There, I proudly report to you that I am quite happy with my progress. It’s been a while since I posted last because most of my free time was spent on figuring out how to do things on my new HTC Sensation. Yep, so far I’m okay with it but being an iPhone user for 4 years now things can be tough at times especially when things won’t just work! Expect more Android rants to come.
