It is now 27th December 2007, 12.55am. Boxing day is just over. Only 5 days left to school reopening. The holidays have come and gone so quickly.For the past hour, I have been stripping. Of course it's not the stripping that you might have in mind. It's stripping wires. We're moving in the morning 9am. So the tv cables and DVD players need to have the wires stripped. Everything is like so tangled and its so dusty. I'm going to have my last shower here after I finish my post.
I decided to blog for the last time in Merawoods before I strip the computer wires and shift in the morning. And I don't know when the next time I will be blogging. Maybe in a week? As soon as we get internet connection. I really want to get onto a com on new year's day. Change the url.
Its been 8 years now. I've actually become quite attached to this place now. I remember saying that I hated this place around 3 years ago, but I take back my words. It's really sad for me that we have to move now, really. 8 years is more than half the life I've lived so far. Plus many memories. At least some good things are still around. Like the new house I'm going to live in is only across a small road, less than 100m if you measure from guard house to guard house. And its the same area too, everything is the same. Its a bigger unit too and the renovation made it quite nice. Otherwise, I still feel sad leaving. Very used to this place already. But guess we always have to move on. I will surely miss the view facing the roadside.
As well as watching F430s and Gallardos revving down the street and listening to them bang off shifts. It's really nice to watch them go down the streets and overtaking all the other cars and at the same time making loads of noise. I mean, music. In future I can only hear without seeing anything. And the music is going to be quite vague.
Today has been tiring. I didn't pack in the day. Went to tanah merah to fly radio controlled planes. Younger cousin who is Ronald's age has got one. But its very lightweight so the plane is easily thrown off course by the wind. That makes it really hard to fly straight.
I've been dreaming actually. About buying the suitable parts and then fixing my own plane which is heavy enough to resist the wind and at the same time have a motor powerful enough to propel it. And it shall come with wheels so I can play taxi-ing, and then runway take off as well as landing. Sounds possible if you ask me. Either you really find ways and means to get the parts and end up broke, or you want the impossible? Get a real plane. But haha thats impossible and I don't really want to sit in the plane and fly it. I want it to be radio controlled. So I guess the solution is the one that makes you broke.It should be possible. I mean, I've seen people do that sort of thing before at big fields. But it must cost a bomb.
I spent my whole day doing stuff at their house before me and ronald ( he stayed over since christmas day) were fetched home by my mum. Then we went to do the usual packing and I assisted my dad with moving fish tanks to my auntie's house. She has a German Schnauzer currently at her house. The owner's on holiday. I find Schnauzers very cute. Like the better-looking dogs.
I shall stop here. Bye Merawoods. Bye people. Till I get my internet connection. Bye.
