moving out
Friday, May 25, 2007
Moving out of the dorm was an experience of a lifetime. I promise you would not want to experience it ever again. It was really funny how I felt busier and more stressed out after my finals, which ended on Thursday afternoon. I started packing on Thursday evening, through Friday and Saturday evening. I was really amazed at the nonsense that had accumulated over the year. My goodness!
First, I packed things like my comforter that I wanted to store over the summer. And I managed to fill a 24" x 24" 24 " box to the brim. When the box was picked up for storage, the guy commented that it must have weighed a 200 pounds.. he could barely lift it up into his van...
Then came delofting, which was the worst part of them all. Katy moved out earlier in the afternoon, and after seeing how she and her other friend managed to deloft without any major problems, I thought it should be an easy task. But I was so wrong. I forgot that they were rowers...
Esther, my housefellow, together with Trina, helped me deloft. It was the hardest thing ever! The bed frame was so heavy, and it was not easy to slot the metal frames back... No wonder they say you need a mallet to deloft... And came mopping! Gosh! the amount of dust that had accumulated, despite the fact that we vacuum the room *occasionally*... I really don't know how the dust came to be. They just appeared! and accumulated happily...
Miraculously, I managed to return the room to its original state. Don't ask me how... I don't even know how I did it...
It's goodbye to lakeshore for now... It's really ironic. At the beginning, I thought I would be looking forward to moving out of the dorms. But now, I feel that I will really miss everything about dorm life and about lakeshore...

I am so excited about going back to Singapore!! woo hoo! Singapore in 3 more weeks!! My goodness! The wait could have been 2 weeks... but all well... its just 1 week more... not much of a difference... i hope...
ANyways, there's so much to do over the summer, and the wait is simply killing me...
And I have made a "To Eat" list when I get back to Singapore:):):)
The top 4:
1) Pork floss bread from BreadTalk (ooh.. my ultimate ultimate favourite)
2) Chicken Rice (mainly because I miss the chilli)
3) Yong Tau Foo
4) Walnut cookies
The list is exhaustive...
How about a "Not to Eat" list (lol)
which isn't too long for obvious reasons...
1) Dim sum (overkill during spring break...)
2) Ice cream (too much in Madison)
3) Pizza
