I have done it!

Selamat Hari Raya Adil Fitri. It has been a quiet holiday for me being left alone at home. So after reading the newspapers, I set out to tidy the living room, which has been inundated with boxes and heaps of stuff all over the place.

The problem is, I have too many things and insufficient places to put them. Despite of giving away so many things and throwing away and selling some, I still end up with so many boxes and things too good to throw away. Looking at some of the boxes, I felt so helpless and frustrated that I quickly closed them and pushed them aside. As a result, I have lost track of somethings that I need.

What I have done today has been to tidy up the boxes, and arranged everything neatly under the staircase. To be more precise, hid them under the staircase. They still look untidy. So I sat in front of them, and started to think. I have decided to get the decorator to construct two white panels matching the wall, to act as a screen to hide all the stuff under the staircase. When I need to access the boxes, I merely pull out the panel screen. Next thing I have to do is to set up my grotto by the side of the staircase.

I had originally planned on tidying the place by 1 October, so that the movers will come on 2 October to collect all the empty boxes and refund me the money. This has now worked out and tomorrow, I hope the movers will show up. It is such a relief to see the place finally taking shape.

Tomorrow, someone is also coming to set up my home theatre. So another busy day. I have been having people coming and going, trying to finish up the renovations, that I had problems going out and having my haircut. Yesterday I managed to do that. At the same time, I have been on the lookout for UPS to deliver a parcel to me, which incidentally arrived a while ago. I have a problem communicating with the workmen because they all speak Mandarin, some being from China.

It has been one month now since I moved house. I am more settled now and getting to church earlier than when I was staying close to the church. Since I stepped down from my church duties, someone has been harassing me to resume my duties. This person is someone whom I dislike and used the excuse to step down, I will continue to turn up early and ignore him to frustrate him. He is really thick!

Till then....
