[A new beginning...]
Today marks the day I moved out from my parents' place and into my own place. I am adjusting to the new surroundings, the new routines, and I have a million thoughts in my head and I am tired. Hopefully the rest of this post makes sense.
While I am excited to finally have a place of my own, it was also a bittersweet moment. Last night, I was keenly aware that I was lying in my bed for the last time. Twenty-seven years is a long time. The same bed I looked forwarded to after a hard day; the same bed I missed when I was in NS.
My sister bought ice-cream for everyone last night. Biting into the chocolate-mint ice-cream sandwich only made me think of the times I spent with my sister in my parents' place. I literally watched her grow up to the young lady she is today. We've both come a long way since we first set foot in that flat.
I still remember the smell of the renovation works when my father was working in the flat, getting it ready. I still remember the smell of the new furniture, the fun times I had with my sister growing up. The times in NS when I wished so hard for it all to be over, to be able to crawl into my bed. The times when I am overseas, felt homesick, and wished to be home.
So many memories.
I'm spending the night alone in my flat tonight. The Wife should be staying over from Saturday onwards, when the bed is delivered. I suppose today is the "soft launch", while Saturday is the official day we start our new lives together.

[Something new...]
Someone at work offered me a piece. Now I'm hooked.
