Having moved house twice in my whole life, of which I am still in the midst of moving the 2nd time, I can save with some certainty that packing and transporting the goods is so tough when you get down to it, but they look like child's play once you get to unpacking.
So now, as I am typing in the new study room - a dismantled table stacked behind me and many cardboard boxes in the sofaless living room outside - I am starting to feel extreme admiration for Rachel, an ex-classmate of mine who's father's job required her to move from country to country almost every few months (though I feel nothing but envy for the fact that you attended private school in New York at the company's expense and lived smacked within Shibuya). If moving within Singapore is hard enough, let alone travelling the globe with cardboxes in tow.
Anyway, moving to this new abode has led me to display (unwittingly) several unpleasant symptoms. I have deduced, from observing myself over these 2 days, that I could possibly be:
1. Allergic to strong air-conditioning.
2. Allergic to dust.
Not that the 2nd one is anything atypical, but as for the first, that might just be a bizarre freak of medical science.
3. I do like swimming after all.
4. I have been using 'moving house' as an excuse for not making anything beyond the doorstep of the Bleak House.
5. (Not exactly a discovery related to moving house, but discovered at the same time anyway) I must learn to enjoy the comforts of hawker centre food.
3 was because I tried the pool out for the first time today. Which leads me to ask if the public pools are even cleaned at all? I was happy to not be swimming besides floating leaves, hair and whatever unknown substances that could have been inside.
Ok I've just reread point 4 and deduced that I really should be doing something else other than blogging.
Before I go: I can't wait for lessons at Bunka to start! Though I'm certainly not looking forward to the travelling back and forth at peak hours :P
Edit: I forgot to mention this. I am dying to get a radical change in hairstyle. An extremely radical one with spiked ends and all.

Haha want to "Aoi-dize" your hair? Or is it "Ruki - dize"? Maybe your hair is going to be "Kai-ed" lol.
ReplyDeleteThe new place is such a contrast to the old one in terms of temperature. The winds here make it so cold... if only there were more privacy though...
:) :) don't get too hard on yourself. and un packing will probably take forever, but you're going to have to master selective listening and patience! :)
ReplyDeletelove, sarah :)

ReplyDelete@ Sarah: Yes yes, selective listening:D Anyway, the next post is for you!
