5th time … 26 yrs old … when family home was rebuilt

6th time … 27 yrs old … moved to Neptune Court

7th time … 30 yrs old … moved back with parents with BF at their request

8th time … 31 yrs old … moved to St Patrick’s Road after parents sold the house

9th time … 32 yrs old … moved to Commonwealth after parents migrated to Canada

10th time … 33 yrs old … moved to KL

hahah …. first thing to do when u pack for moving … buy lots and lots of heavy duty black trash bags and throw things out …. discipline in discarding wat is not needed is of the utmost importance

that’s when u find out how sentimental u are … and if u’re a hoarder … or a thrower

after so many times …. i’m used to it …. i used to get tired and there was quite a lot of stress involved

recently …. i’ve learnt to take the move as a time to start things anew and reassess life …. get things in order

change is good … change makes u grow … change makes u feel alive

it only sounds fun to me. Plus, this ensures that your house is always clean and rubbish-free. =p
