Last night in Brisbane

To think that 4 and a half years would fly by that fast, this is my last night here in brisbane as a student / semi working bum.. But anyways, good times, bad times, it has all been for the best i guess..

Somewhat unreal feeling that during this time, i managed to finish my studies, worked in a few different areas, experiement with what i like doing, drove 5 cars over 4.5 yrs, incredibly enough, learnt more than just studying over here in Australia and so much more along the way.. How time passes me by is such an amazing thing..

Got meself brunt driving around the coastal regions and soaking up the sun, perhaps a bit too much but hey, last time already... Pigged out on a tub of ice cream that I may not get back in Singapore, not that i miss it... Just that it did helped me gain a few pounds... hahaha..

Planning and more planning for the long term ahead is probably one of the more important things that I'll be doing the next few months ahead, hopefully by the grace of God, something will turn up somehow.. =)

Packing and Sending

Kinda depressing to know that you would be uprooting yourself from a place that over the past 2 years have come to be known as home. Seeing bits of furniture go, either selling them or throwing out the old stuff its like you will look at it and think about the memories of it.

The big ass coffee / dining table that supported so many a fellowship, happy times around it or just nuahing in front of the tv with something to eat or plain studying, not that i do much of that anyways =)

The queen bed that the two of us have been sleeping on for the past 4 years, good times, bad times it was always there to support us in our sleep, wonder how I'm gonna adjust back to sleeping alone and on a smaller bed... Changed to the double and sure as hell not used to the size, HATES single length beds to the max, cant stretch out comfortably nor can i sleep lengthwise without my feet sticking out over the tip of the bed.. Issues of being too tall somehow..

The burgundy little car "marble" that will be gone by friday night, a friend for the past 1.5yrs, although it did sucked my money on the repairs and maintenance, it was a true blue fuel miser.. Thankfully it didnt go to someone who wouldnt appreciate it but someone in church, happy to have found a decent home for little marble.. =)

Things that I have already shipped back and are in Singapore waiting for me, little bits of my life accumulated and probably accompanied me over the years in all. Hopefully I dont develop a sentamentalist streak and refuse to throw things out when the time comes. Cant stand excess and yet, cant bear to throw it if it works..

I guess in all the times that I've been here in Aussie land, it was an experience trying to balance out the freedom from not having parents around and buying everything that I've wanted since being a kid and the amount in the bank. Might have did pretty well for myself, having a bit of savings at the end of everything but yet, there is a niggling sensation that I might need to save it for a rainy day as well..

Time flys and before you know it 4.5yrs have gone by, areas of study that I was interested in and still am, have been looked at over these years, not that i can say that i've learnt a lot but more of what i had learnt over these years, not just in studies but as a person as well.. Reflective musings of a guy, strangely enough...

And on that bombshell, its time for me to go and clean the house.. =)
