What were we thinking???

After more than two months, we finally got our hands on the stuff that we packed from Singapore. How many boxes? 21 in total.

Spent a few hours unpacking the things, and i started going "What was I thinking?"! Having found a few nearby charitable thrift shops to donate to, we will spend some time to sort our things up into different categories, and send them to the people in need.

With our stuff in, our place is starting to really look like a home, and not an empty shell of an apartment. A few more things to do and we'll be done!

Wah biang!!!!!! 21 boxes!! really, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

At 7:23 PM, Jonathan

You know... as we pack, there were two lines of thought.. perhaps three.

1) are we going there for good?
2) are we going there for a short while?
3) what would happen to the stuff left behind?

Come to think of it now, i rather we grab everything over here, and use/donate/throw/give, rather than letting them gather dust in tiny little rooms back there.
