I’m so sorry, we’ve been busy packing and exams and kids and blah blah blah….
The movers came to take our belongings today and I’m currently sitting on the floor typing this post. The movers were very professional and may I say, over-enthusiastic.
Why?
Because they packed our shoes as well. We were left with only our flip flops, only because they weren’t in the house but in the backyard!! If they were in the house, we would have to go out barefooted to get new shoes. Hahhahaha.
We did a quick shopping trip to get us both new pairs of shoes (Nad said I looked good in a pair of dress shoes and bought it for me as well as a pair of pink sneakers. Hehehe) and we also got Sunshine a new pair of sandals even though her shoes were not accidentally packed away (her shoes were in the car).
In a few days, we say goodbye to our home for slightly more than 2 years. And we say goodbye to the state we’ve lived in for about 3 years.
We close a chapter of our lives and open a new one. We view this change with slight trepidation. It’s a little of a deja vu as well. Deja vu because we’ve moved from Singapore to here with only Faith on our backs and now we’re doing the exact same thing.
Now if we had tons of money, moving like this won’t be a problem. Hire people to pack and move for us and get plane tickets, get a nice house and have it ready for us etc… but we are not. So unfortunately, we have to bear with some inconvenience that comes with the move. I’m hoping it will be our 2nd last move (and our last interstate/international move).
I am going to miss my new found friends here in WA. Both the knitterly ones and the non-knitterly ones. I know we won’t be missing the summer here though!
Funny I thought I would be more stressed out about the move than I actually am right now. Maybe because I have Nad who is very supportive and responsible around to take care of the family. And even though it seems like it’s taking a stab in the dark where the future seems so uncertain, I know he is with me. BUT most importantly, God is here with all of us. Always. And I know we’ll be fine.
Tomorrow I go to school for my graduation. My results for the entire year are:
*clears throat*
Maths – 93% (1st in class!)
Physics – 94.4% (2nd in class!)
Chemistry – 91% (2nd in class, sharing the spot with another very clever lady! Who thinks she beats me anyway because she got half a mark more than I did in our final exam… Lol.. )
So next year, I will be doing the entrance exams to Medicine as well as Year 12 (equivalent to A levels). I was doing bridging to Year 12 this year, by the way (Slightly higher than O levels I would reckon – I’ve never done most of the topics we covered before)….
I can’t wait. I hope and pray that I will be able to make it into Med school.
I don’t know how long we’d be offline for. Probably more than a month. I don’t want to rush Nad into anything and being online is one of the least of our least worries for now. (My current biggest worry is that there is a cockroach loose somewhere in the house and we’re sleeping on the floor tonight…………………..)
I’ve packed quite a few projects to cast on and am excited to unleash my castonitis, just dive in and indulge with all the new projects, baybee!!!!
Alrighty then…. till we meet again, please take care and have fun!
