Packing My Life Into Boxes … again

by JermynToh on 13 June, 2008

The one thing that has been a constant in my life has been packing and moving.

My first time was when I was 21 …. running away from home.

2nd time again when i was 21 …. moving back home.

3rd time … 24 yrs old … flying in SQ so wanted to move nearer the airport

4th time … 25 yrs old … moved with my parents while the family home was being rebuilt

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

11th time … 35 yrs old … moved from 8th floor to 23rd floor

12th time … 36 yrs old … moving from where I am now to Jalan Tun Razak

wow …. this is the first time i’m actually counting the moves … hoping i stay put at this place longer than the average 1 or 2 yrs i spend at any place

me think me needs things not to change for a while so i can finally settle down and maybe grow some roots?

sigh ……. back to taping up boxes and filling them with things i’ve accumulated through the years here in KL.

I swear I arrived with 2 suit-cases and a couple of boxes …. at last count … its 12 to 15 cartons + 15 plus pieces of furniture

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
