Singapore Blogger!

As you can all see, my other half is also busy blogging over inPerth. As for us over here in S'pore, we have been left with no camera, so pic for now. Guess I will just have to rely on my creative side to describe our remaining life here in S'pore .

So far so good! Can finally say that the chaos is almost over. Cupboards are empty, fridge is almost empty, all curtains washed, sheets washed, boxes packed, sealed and ready to be sent off. Poor Belle! She had to say goodbye to her precious cot on Sat. How sad! This is the last of her worldly possesion that she witness taken from her. She is now reduced to sleeping on her cot matteress on the bedroom floor. I promised her that she will be rewarded with a "big" bed (like Sarah's and Seth's) when we get to Laos. So she is clinging on to that promise. Sigh! She also has no toys to play with either, as all that has been packed away in the boxes as well. Can you imagine how miserable she is right now??? Took her and Seth to Toys R'Us yesterday and she had a ball playing with all the baby dolls on the rack. At first she was all fascinated by the barbie section, which she calls "furby". But then she caught sight of the baby doll section and got stuck there. She took down some of the life size babies and just planted her little bottom on the floor and had a great time playing by herself. I was so tempted to buy her one of them, but thought maybe it would be nicer for her to receive it as a present for x'mas. As her mum, my heart has really been shredded up a little lately seeing how this 'big' move has been affecting her.

As for Seth, he is older and more able to grasp the reality of it all. Still he was quite distraught to know that we will also be giving his bunk bed away next week. Last night our friends ask if they could have the second room empty so that they could use more of the space. As you all know how "spacious" our apartment is, where else could we store the bunk??? So it will have to go. And amazingly, my big bro asked if he could have it earlier during the day. So I guess it won't go to waste after all.

It does feel funny though. Watching the house being emptied out while we are still "living" in it. Sad but somehow feel "lightened" in the heart. Like we are not so cluttered with worldly things anymore. Must enjoy this feeling while it last. I know it won't be long before we will have to surround ourselves with such "necessities" again.
