24.Nov.2008 Sunday Salon: Moving Books
Is it still Sunday in the other part of the world? It’s Monday morning here. I’m writing my Sunday Salon post nevertheless.
I’m moving back to Australia from Singapore. Immediately the problem everybody foresaw was my pile of books. So I slipped and I squeezed the books here and there. Inside boxes, suitcases, bags, plastic bags. I asked my mom and my fiance (ooo fiance.. that sounds different! :) to take some of my stuffs (aka books). Books! Books! Books everywhere!
I already sent 40 kilos of two boxes straight to Australia. Also counting the baggage that I, my parents, and my hubby-to-be will help to bring, my stuffs may go around 100 kilos. Not horrible for 2.5 years of living and acquiring new things, right? When I came to Singapore, I brought around 30 kilos of luggage.
There are some books that I definitely need to let go. I know once I’m apart with them I won’t miss them, but it doesn’t make the separation any easier…
