0011: The July 2011 Summary

I've left you, how many ever readers I still have, for a long time now. I guess I'll begin with something more recent.

The Now

I'm sick but hopefully, it'll subside and I'll get better. I joined the gym and wish I hadn't but I joined it and now I need to be deeply motivated to go. I motivated myself but I need more than my own motivation. I need support.

July 2011

That month was full of days of packing, unpacking and a lot of traveling. It is one of the most incredible months I've had.


Packed and moved to the new house.
Moved my friends' stuff all the way to the new house and I actually had fun stacking the boxes up. It was as if I was playing real life Tetris without the base doing a disappearing act!


Favorite past time: re-assembling.
After putting all the boxes to one side of the room, I started reassembling all of my furniture in the living room. I made a deal that the only way I will accept the small, almost cupboard-like space, room was if I had half the living room as my study area. I won.


The little brother, Verti.
On the 19th, I went to London and met up with my little brother who was going to leave for Malaysia to visit my parents for the summer holidays. He was going to leave on the next day and I was there to escort him to the airport. I had a nice time spent with my little brother. We weren't at each others' throats at the time so that was great.


Cousin's graduation day.
The day next after I sent my little brother, I went to Brighton to visit my cousin who left on November 1st back to Brunei. His graduation was on the 22nd and so, I stayed over at his old place for a few nights, alone. I had the whole place to myself. By the way, the place is owned by an artist, performer as well as a proper scientist! However, my idea of a scientist may differ from yours.


Mochien, the cousin, being awesome.
During the time I was in Brighton, I didn't have much time to be with him as he was working. So, I got to get him out of the place after his work hours to eat at a restaurant! It wasn't the best restaurant and we will not be going there ever again.


The last time
The last day I was in Winchester, I walked through the path behind my old flat to say goodbye to the place. Although I could not enter the building anymore, it was nice to see the ducks there still swimming around.


Heathrow Airport.
I believe that day was one of the worst. Long travel to the airport, waited there for the longest time, had the worst pre-flight wait and… it was basically the worst day of my life. It was stressful, it was saddening and it was an angry day. They only let us on the plane 10 minutes before the gates were about to close! They wanted us to go in after calling out seat rows but someone of higher authority came by and whispered to one of the workers there and suddenly the screen said Gate Closing. It pissed off a lot of people because in the end, there was no use for them to call out our seat rows. They just told us to herd right in like frikkin' cattle. I hope that kind of thing doesn't happen often.

Well, I guess that's it for now! I'll continue the update in the next post!

Until then!
