Happy Old Year (ฮาวทูทิ้ง..ทิ้งอย่างไรไม่ให้เหลือเธอ)

Minimalism is like…

a Buddhist philosophy.

Okay.

It's about letting go.

I see.

When I was working in Sweden, I really liked this style.

When I moved back, I wanted to apply it to this place.

What was this place before?

- A home. - I see.

My mom and brother are living upstairs.

- I turned downstairs into an office. - I see.

Yes.

What did you do with your stuff?

I threw them away.

- Everything? - Yes.

Don't you feel attached to them?

Personally, I feel that things we no longer use are unnecessary.

So we should throw them away.

As for things I have use for and are in good condition,

I think…

they will be here. They're not going anywhere.

I see.

Then…

Can you give us some tips on how to get rid of things?

Excuse me.

Come on, you cheap ass.

Are you for real?

I only need three pages. Will they sell me three pages?

This isn't a damn library.

Don't be stingy.

I'm designing a minimalist house.

Why should I buy books on minimalism?

It's the era of cloud storage.

You don't need to spend minimally on a minimalist house.

Let's go.

Hey, won't it be easier to rent an office space?

Do you have the money?

This is actually a nice area.

You can take the Skytrain when you're in a rush.

That's true.

If clients come here for meetings,

there are parking spaces in the daytime.

It's quite spacious.

- They can park in the alley. - I see.

We're here. This is my home.

I think it can be turned into an office.

- Definitely. - For sure.

Let's have a look.

I'll walk you through.

Close the door.

My house used to be an instrument repair shop.

My dad also ran a music school.

Mom, my friend's here.

Mom.

Hello.

Can you turn it down? I need to talk business.

Okay.

I think I'll get rid of everything downstairs

and turn it into the main office.

Take a look.

My house gets lots of sunlight, but it's blocked by all these walls.

There is too much wood.

I want to make it more minimalistic.

Why do you keep this bumper?

Go ask my mom.

Stop taking photos.

I think we have to tear down some walls.

This is Jay, my brother.

- This is Pink. - Hi.

Hi.

Right.

I will turn this room into your home studio.

What studio?

Your own home studio, you know?

My home studio?

Does your mom sing one song all day?

You need to put in lots of soundproofing for me.

You want a minimalist home,

but this clutter in this place is the fucking opposite.

Can you do it?

I can fix up the house.

What I can't do for you is to talk to your family.

- Your brother doesn't even know… - I know.

- His room will be gone. - I know.

Have you told your mom?

I will.

You'd better, Jean.

I've seen this before.

You'll get a broken home before you get a new house.

You'll be wiping out your whole history.

You want a minimalist Stockholm house.

Have you asked your family here?

I wouldn't have come back if I had a choice.

I don't care. Just be nice.

From the timeline you sent me,

you need to send me references and clear everything out before New Year's.

We can start working after the holidays.

Okay.

Minimalism is like a Buddhist philosophy.

It's about letting go.

Are you nuts? You want an empty house?

Things will be more organized.

Let's start over.

Take this room, for example.

It's so cluttered with stuff, right?

We'll clear out what we don't need and we'll have more space.

Our lives will be greatly improved.

And when people come in,

- they will see… - Where will the living room be?

It will be on the second floor.

You can sing your heart out all day.

- I'll turn it into a karaoke room. - Not the second floor. No.

- Why not? - I don't want the second floor.

The first floor will be my office. You have to move.

I don't want to.

- It's so messy here. - No.

- I'm always here. - We'll all move.

You will have your own room.

Just tell me what you want.

- You name it. - You go. I won't.

Are you going to sleep on the chair?

You can't. It's weird.

How is that weird?

I always sleep here.

- You can't. - Why not?

I've done it for years.

Doesn't it give you a backache? You can't sleep here.

It's because of my shoes.

What does that have to do with it?

You're not listening to me.

Do what you want, but the living room must stay.

It can't. It's not minimalistic.

Minimal what? This is my house.

Jean, don't do it.

- What? - It's too much of a hassle.

Jay, we've lived here since we were ten.

We're almost 30. Everything is too small now.

What about your online clothing shop?

Don't you want storage space for your clothes?

Damn.

It feels so cramped here now that you said it.

I felt fine before.

Well, take a look around.

This belongs to the previous generation.

Everything is out of date.

Why are old people afraid of change?

I don't get it.

This is our time.

Yes, you have a point.

The floor plan is set.

We can't change anything.

We're so used to it that we don't think about it.

That's what I'm saying.

This is our time.

It's our generation's time.

HOW TO DUMP STEP 1

SET YOUR GOALS AND FIND INSPIRATIONS

Your office is amazing.

Thank you.

If you have questions, feel free to ask.

Sure. I'm a fan of your work.

Thank you so much.

Yes, I can.

Actually, it's being built right now.

I hope it will be finished by next month.

I guess it will have to be.

Well…

I hope we'll get to work together.

Excuse me.

Are there more garbage bags?

There's no more on the shelf.

We're out if the shelf's empty.

Isn't this enough?

The world is campaigning against plastic.

Trust me. It's worth it.

What are you getting?

Cleaning supplies.

What's that book?

I don't know. It's a Japanese book. It's funny.

She says tidying up the house once will set you free.

It's a best seller. It might help.

Just download a PDF file. Books take up space.

No. PDF files hurt my eyes.

Let's go.

All right.

I've been waiting to do this.

HOW TO DUMP STEP 2

DON'T REMINISCE THE PAST

Publishing is dead.

It's the era of Apple Music and Spotify.

God! This was before cell phones.

A VHS tape rewinder.

I haven't heard that word in ages.

Do you want this pencil case?

Toss it.

Shit. Good old days.

Shit. Did you steal this from a temple?

You did. Don't blame it on me, Jean.

The Shang Dynasty invented it.

You're throwing things away mindlessly.
