Packing is a Nightmare

It’s August! Mooncakes, durians, birthdays, Merdeka & most importantly, 22 more days to Canada! Woohoo!

I started packing today (such an eager beaver I am), mostly because my mum badgered me to it. Who knew I had so much junk? By the time my two large suitcases were full, I still had a lot of stuff yet to be packed. :/ Crap.

No idea how I’m going to magically squeeze the remaining stuff. Curse you large puffy winter jackets.

I won’t be able to bring any of my high heels, dresses, dolls and little knick-knacks. :( 

Now the question is, how the heck I’m going to carry 2 heavy oversized bags??

Shit Happens But All the Time?!!

The Gods must really love screwing with me.

Yesterday I mailed a cheque to the landlord of the room I was planning to rent in Canada & just this morning, I received an on campus residence offer from SFU. WTF Last month they told me the residences were full !

So my parents, being the protective kind, told me to stay on campus. So the money we spent on the rent deposit & mailing fees all went down the drain! That’s like RM 2000+! I feel so bad my parents are using so much money for my Canadian education.

First, there was the switch of universities and now this. I did tell them that it was okay, I don’t mind staying off campus and I’m sure York isn’t as dangerous and life threatening as my parents think it is. But my parents just care a lot, maybe way too much. To them, money is a small matter compared to their daughter’s safety and well-being.

Their hearts are at the right place but I feel so guilty about the amount of money spent. I am officially the most expensive daughter in the family! What with the medical bills, one year student exchange and my transfer to Canada. Plus, the Canadian dollar just keeps on rising. My heart skips a beat every time the dollar increases and I frantically make mental calculations on the costs. And you guys know how much I detest Mathematics so I pretty much end up in migraines. :(

25 more days! There’s so much to do!! Feeling the pressure already.

Currently having HP fever again. I’m gonna re-read every single book & re-watch the movies. Ron & Hermione are just so adorable as a couple. :)

Haven’t been feeling so well lately, physically and psychologically. I blame the Problem & more than half a year later, I’m still not closer to obliterating it entirely from my life. Getting a bit depressed about it but no worries, I’ve still got some optimism left in me. I believe I can overcome. God doesn’t give us problems that we can’t solve, it’s only a matter of time.

I’m counting down the days till I board that flight leaving dear Malaysia behind. I haven’t got started on packing yet because quite frankly, I don’t know where to start. Mum is more worried about it than I am but I know she just cares a lot for me. Since the tumours, I’ve come to be known as the weak one in the family. My parents are worried I’m gonna have to make hospital visits in Canada alone or I’ll freeze to death from the lack of thick clothing (definitely not happening, considering the amount of winter jackets my mum bought).

I haven’t exercised in ages. Becoming a bit of a lump now. Got to get my exercise mojo  back and work up a sweat.

I have less than 30 days to go! And so much left to do: replace my student visa (because I switched universities), find a place to live, sign up for orientation etc. There’s also so many people I want to see before I go: A4 gang, Sum & Dae and my college mates. It’s gonna be tight but I think I can manage. :)

Finally watched HP7 Part 2 with Michelle before she flew back to Limbang. It was awesome, so watching it twice! Although it was lacking the finer details the book had and some scenes were a bit weird, it was still a great end to the series. A lot of my friends like Harry and Draco, but my favourite is still Ron Weasley. He and Hermione are just so cute together.

I’m having some difficulty packing. There’s just too many things I can’t bring myself to part with. So I’m bringing some of my favourites with me. My mum thinks I’m crazy haha. I’m definitely bringing George Orwell’s Animal Farm and the original version of Gulliver’s Travels and the Picture of Dorian Gray. Nothing can beat the classics. :) 

Oh did I mention I’m going to haul half of my Pikachu collection with me? :D

Halfway There

My exams are finished! The semester is over!! Woo hoo!! I’m going to Canada soon, baby!!

I went to the PC Fair at PWTC yesterday with my mum and I got myself a new lappie! Although I didn’t get the model that I wanted (Toshiba Portege R830), I still got a pretty decent one. I settled for an ASUS A43S, in red. It’s not anything too fancy because I don’t play video games and I only need a laptop to do my assignments and surf the internet. So I’m happy! The only thing left to do is to give my little red beauty a name hehe.

On another separate note, my host mum and uncle got a Facebook account so they can stay in touch with me! I was pleasantly surprised when I received their friend requests this morning. I miss them so much.

I have 30 days left before I go, yay!!!!!!
