Shreds
The fact that I can accumulate so many documents with sensitive information is quite scary. There are documents from work and then there are documents with my personal information. I found plenty of personal documents that I no longer find the need to keep. The thought of discarding a whole lot of trash containing information about myself at one go scares me. I got so paranoid that I did not feel comfortable chucking into the waste paper basket things that I would normally have discarded in this manner. I ended up setting them aside for the shredder.
These days, we spend part of our free time sitting beside the shredder feeding it. It is like “烧金纸”, or "burning incense paper", a rite performed by some Chinese in Singapore, where stashes of incense paper are burnt as offerings for the dead.
