okies, the unpacking's 75-80% done. think it's already quite an achievement, wah seh... so many things to be categorized. as i stashed away some, i bought more. a never-ending cycle. =P. ikea boss is probably smiling in his sleep, there are many like me around, thronging that alexandra mall like it's kids playground, overnight we transformed ourselves into 'Ikea Friends', swipe and swipe the plastics like it's FOC. But, cross my heart, some of those small barangs are really cute and useful @ same time - cool 'wall-mount' shoe drawers, sturdy birch roll-kitchen table, rugs and throws, I got them all. =)
the first few nights at new place, sleep didn't come too easily. perhaps it's the new hard pillow... or maybe it's over-exhaustion... or perhaps it's trepidation twds institution-reopening.. in any case, i like my new place - small enough for that cosy feel, and definitely small enough for all those juicy govt rebates to come. *hee hee* cheapo i know, but heck, after busting my account on this nest, i thought a typical national identity would be to put out one's hand and ask the govt what it plans to do to help, right? =P
this yr's pre-hatchday celebrations involved spending time with different grps of dear pals - had jap bento lunch @ some citylink restaurant; german sausages & pork knuckles @ Baden, Holland V; watched the 'Guantanamo' movie @ PS; and went to temples to say hi to grandpapa, grandmama, and mama. and oh, also attended a sec 4 fren's wedding @ Hilton, on my hatchday - now how much better a friend can you get?
term has started. i resolve to get my nest sorted out before i plunge full-body into the limitless abyess of the unknown where evil lurks amongst the mountains of scripts and an utterly punishing schedule beckons.
by the time Youth Day arrives, i would have finished all the unpacking, did an overnight mahjong stint, visited an 'about-to-give-birth' gal pal, finished marking 100+ scripts, and bulldozed my way through all the ppt slides for a 40+ pg lecture topic. that's my wishlist.
dear santa, can you come by 6mths early?
