Cleaning @ new apartment

we only got home at 11.30pm after doing some cleaning at the apartment just now.. we met up in front of the apartment after work and checked the apartment.. we chucked away the stuff that we dont need and made a list of the stuff that we need..

we went down to Rundle Mall to do shopping after that.. we bought a vacuum cleaner, a kettle and a couple of mattress protectors for our beds.. brought everything back to the apartment and went down to Cafe Primo for dinner! just round the corner!

we did some exploring of the building and the car park so we know where Benjamin can park his Ute for unloading tomorrow.. after dinner, we went back to the apartment and started cleaning.. i vacuumed while Miyuki wiped.. and moved the furniture around.. by 11pm, we were wasted~

what's left?

another round of packing.. have been doing packing here and there after work everyday..

i have officially emptied all my drawers.. the top shelves of my wardrobe are emptied and so are the bottom shelves.. right now, i still have most of my clothes hanging in there.. well, that can wait till tomorrow when i bring back another archive box from work.. haha..

been trying to clear the fridge by eating all my packed lunches for lunches at work and also for dinners at home.. a few more to go still.. i left all my containers at work so i dont have to pack them.. hehez! my pantry is 70% cleared.. will leave the rest till Saturday morning..

i have dismantled my shoe rack and all my shoes are packed (some are at work).. and i'm going to throw 3 pairs of flats away.. hehez!

i have come to the conclusion that packing, travelling and moving is a big part of my life..

Moving

Yup, i am going to move again! been packing the whole day.. and at this moment in time, i cant do anymore packing.. not because i have been packing vigorously (packing has become part of me) but because i'm sick of packing.. even though it has been a relaxing one.. relatively easier than before..

i have a new luggage replaced by Qantas because my Lojel has officially been declared deceased (thanks to Kenneth for helping bring it back from The Luggage Place), a big 'Chinese' bag, which look nothing like the 'original' blue-white-red plastic bag.. mine is a cute one with black and white pigs.. i also have 4 little boxes (those that fit A4 size printing paper) and 1 bigger box..

at this point in time, all the drawers of my desk and my bedside table has been cleared.. though i must say that most of my clothes are still unpacked and hanging in the wardrobe.. Geez!

2009

HAPPY 2009!!!

I reached home at about 3am last night, or rather this morning.. haha.. took a good shower (yup, that includes shampooing my hair) before jumping into bed at 4am..

i had a good start to 2009 by drinking my favourite coffee at GJ's! Yum! the rest had ice cream while me and Mag slurped on our coffees.. Y had hot chocolate as it was a pretty chilly night..

work finished at 4pm and i came home to chill and got ready before Kenneth came over to pick me up.. he invited me to the BBQ party at his place and it was great fun meeting and talking to Mag, Mo, M & Y! and not to mention all the food that was there! hehez!

at about 10pm, we made our way down to the city.. the cars were parked in the city and the initial plan was to catch the tram down to Glenelg.. however, after one unsuccessful attempt to get on the tram and witnessing all those people who were already drunk.. we decided that it's a wiser choice to take the substitute bus for the tram..

it really turned out to be the wiser choice because J & M, who got on the tram before us, reached Glenelg much later than us! the bus was also not as packed as the tram.. it was 11pm by the time we got there.. we walked down Jetty Road, all the way to where the jetty starts.. it was pretty crowded but not as bad as i have expected.. there was a makeshift concert 'tent' and some band was performing..

when the clock finally strike midnight, the fireworks began.. it was nice though nowhere near magnificent.. but it was enough.. my initial plan was to spend it with my bed and TV and it turned out to be much better than that!

after the fireworks ended and the crowded started to disperse, we went to M's friend's place which is really just next to Jetty Road and crash his party.. though i must say most of us were already quite dead at that point in time.. haha! that's when GJ's came into the picture!

it was a night well spent and i enjoyed myself thoroughly!

Bye 2008!
