Packing sucks
So here i am just 5 hours before i head down to the airport.
One luggage, one hand carry duffle bag and one handbag. And i'm still not done packing. After stuffing (now try saying this list in one breath man)...
2 pairs of jeans, 2 three-quarts, 3 skirts, 2 belts, i think about 13 tops, 2 tees & 1 bottoms for my PJs, 1 jacket, 3 pairs of socks, 1 pair of shoes & 1 slippers, undergarments, 1 big & 1 small towel, my bag of toiletries, my glasses, a simple 1st aid kit, my hair accessories, traveller's plug, charger & batteries, my bible, some stationery, a journal, a novel (Bill Bryson's "I'm a Stranger Here Myself" to keep me occupied & sane during my long flight there & back), & other miscellaneous stuff like wallet, hp, passport, camera, sunglasses & water bottle...
DID I MISS OUT ANYTHING???
Man... i feel like i'm going to war or something. And this is only stuff for 2.5 weeks. I shudder at the thought of what i'm going to have to bring for 6 months in NZ. I'm beginning to think that i really need to teleport my whole room there somehow someway. Sighhh... Winter clothes = heavy = bulky = see-u-per big luggage is needed = the superlambanana needs to carry elephant-loads of barang-barang = excess luggage *beep beep* = *kaching kaching* money for extra weight please = damn it i'm already broke so what's the freaking problem = .........
And tonight, my home number has become some sort of a hot-line. The phone's been ringing incessantly for the past half hour & the last call from my aunt went something like this:
Aunt: Hello, when you guys leaving for the US?
Me: 6 hours time.
Aunt: Oh your flight is at 4am?
Me: 6am.
Aunt: So what time must you reach the airport?
Me: 3am.
Aunt: Oh... they ask you to go so early ah?
Me: Yes.
Aunt: Hehe, are you all packed already?
Me: No.
Aunt: Better hurry then, you only got a few hours left!
Me: Ok.
Aunt: So are you excited?
Me: Tired.
Aunt: How come?
Me: Packing. Phone ringing non-stop. You the 267th person to call.
Aunt: (LAUGH)
Me: *snort*
Yes. So much for conversation. The beauty of mono-syllabic responses. Yes, the see-u-per lambanana is drained. And she hasn't bathed. Sigh. And she is a tad worried about her NZ airline tickets, cos till now they haven't been bought. woo hoo... i forsee another mad rush when i come back from the US... lalala... *yay* And has she packed for NZ? Noooooo she hasn't. HAH. She is so asking for it eh? 6 months worth of stuff not packed + visa still being processed + air tickets yet to be purchased + need to prepare for convo + want to meet up with friends + need to meet up with family + need to clean up room = mission impossible if this is to be accomplished in 4 days. lalala... Superlambanana is gg a little mad now... must be that disgusting chicken rice she ate for dinner.
Sheesh. I've veered off topic. From packing to chicken rice. Ok. Maybe i shall post another entry just before i leave Singapore... (and for some strange reason, the song "we are Singapore, Singaporeans" starts playing in my head...) :
