Foolish Games

Changes

The last several days have been rather hectic, and I expect more of the same. Please allow me to outline events via dot points:

Thursday 6th:
- Work
- Cricket practice
- Finally got the keys to the house =)
- Moved a carload of stuff
- Started vacuuming (lots of fluff and loose tufts from the carpet laying)... ducted vacuum is really cool =)

Friday 7th:
- Work
- Had instantaneous gas hot water system installed
- Packed and moved more stuff
- Finished vacuuming the entire house and mopping the hardfloor areas (2am)

Saturday 8th:
- After 4 hrs sleep, finished packing
- Removalists arrived at 9am and finished at 12pm
- Jenn, Shirley and Helen were visiting from Sydney =) Came over with Dalvin and Sam
- Lunch at a vietnamese restaurant (yummy beef noodle soup for me as usual)
- Floriade (lots of silly photos taken)
- Dinner at Iori... soft-shell crab, sashimi, sushi, wagyu steak, green tea cheesecake, green tea mousse... definitely want to go back there when not in a rush...
- To Tehillah, with a guest speaker =) Was good to gather again after a few weeks with other stuff on instead
- Finally got back home around 11pm, with stuff all over the place and piled up in the garage... but all I needed was sleep, so found the linen and felt weird lying in bed in the new environment... with no curtains as yet >.<

Sunday 9th:
- Church... after dropping by the old place to brush my teeth (yes, had not quite moved all the loose items yet)
- Played tennis...
- And then yum cha... yummy!
- Floriade again, with most of the yum cha'ers... er... *shrug*
- Back to the old place to grab a few things and clean up... cut short by...
- Watching 'Cinderella Man' with Dalvin and Sam... a good movie I think
- Missed out on McDonalds dinner (closed)... so...

Monday 10th:
- Woke up and had McDonalds breakfast =)
- Was sounds of construction from 7.30am or so... fortunately I'll always be up for work anyway and houses around me are mostly done. Previous night I had stuck newspaper over my bedroom and study windows, so don't feel as exposed before getting curtains.
- Was on leave today because Telstra can't schedule anything (please be home between 10am and 2pm??? Something seriously wrong with that)... fortunately it gave me a chance to do a number of things, like...
- Have the TV antenna installed... no more rabbit ears for me!
- Have someone bring a few curtain samples over and measure the windows
- I cleaned the fridge, inside and out
- For the record the Telstra technician arrived around 12.30pm and took an hour...
- Before I could make a few calls...
- And exchange one of the light fittings (wrong type of glass)...
- Change my address...
- And finally having lunch at 5pm
- Then a trip back to the old place to transport the last of the odds and ends, and to clean the place up (hopefully well enough to get my bond back!) took me more than 3 hours =(
- So I picked up some Chinese food for dinner at home...
- Whereupon remembering (again... hehe... can easily forget things if I don't attend to it immediately >.<) to call a friend to say 'Happy Birthday'... this was 10pm...
- And also, in my letterbox... was a much awaited wedding invite! woohoo! Sorry Ling... this was my first letter at the new place =)
- Finished my dinner and unloaded the last of my stuff from the car...
- And could finally relax a bit... and write this...

hmmm... don't know why I wrote all that, but if you're still reading, well done! =) I'm normally so slow, ill-disciplined and laid-back that nothing happens or gets done... but with a bit of momentum... whoosh! So while perhaps I should have spent a bit more time at home unpacking, etc, I was out most of the weekend and had a lot of fun AND still got things done... I even had a little cry last night... *sigh* did I tell you as was moody? I pray that God will change this troubled soul, to trust in Him, rely on Him, to love Him will all that I am... and there find true happiness.

Amen, and goodnight! =)+<
