all done, ready to go

aaah...what a beautiful day it is today.
although i did not get much sleep yesterday...blame it on the nap i had in the evening...i woke up with a sense of purpose.
i knew i had to wake up early for a reason. so as soon as i got out from my room, dad told me, go dress up, you are bringing grandpa to the bank. well, that made waking up early worthwhile. so off we went to the bank. grandpa had to put his signature on some documents. it is kinda morbid. he is signing and letting go of some shares so there would be no follow-ups later when he 'retires' to the nether world. gosh, it is hard to think that my grandparents days are kinda numbered. they are almost 90 now but of course no one in the family wants them to leave us yet. it is cool to still have grandparents and ppl actually nodded in awe when you introduced your grandparents.

so after coming back from the bank, it was morning papers time. then mom got back from her breakfast and 'kicked' me to move the old book rack which will be turned into shoe rack outside. so got down to some cleaning and dusting and moving shoes and rack...and voila, now there is only one big shoe rack outside the house instead of 2. yippee...more space ;P

then lunch...just some vege and sweet and sour pork. had an apple too. dun wanna eat too full because i am going out for dinner with ying.

next up, billy bookcase. aah...had to do some stretching first. man, the unopened box weighs 35kg ok. no wonder we were huffing and puffing carrying it into the house.

luckily i did not need any electrical gadget's help. just did it with my own hands and some physical power and also help from mom.
so yours truly worked according to the manual given.
and voila, this is the complete bookcase in its corner. mom was wondering if all our books could fit into it...

and here you see, all the books in the bookcase. too bad, whatever shakespeare's quotes are all covered by the books. and frankly, one bookcase is not enough for all our books. i have to double park some books. and damn it, i realised that some of my books are missing. where are my harry potters??? i only saw 2 out of 7 i bought!!! we also lost the first artemis fowl.
there is no space in the house for another bookcase, so you can save the suggestion.
getting all hot and sweaty was fun especially since i haven't been doing any exercise. lazy me. will make sure i swim everyday i am in krabi.
and audrey...you want these books? not many but i can keep them for you...all 10 of them.
rest for a while, fb sikit, watched amazing race and back to work again. got all my shorts, tees, singlets, umbrella, cap, socks, swimsuit, goggles, etc and chucked them into the new cabin trolley. yup, its virgin trip.

isn't it purplelicious?? i don't own many purple stuff, but i think i am beginning to love this colour.
i am almost done. some toiletries are yet to go in and i think that's it.
so ...
dates: 27-30 november 2009
venue: krabi, thailand
accomodation: ao nang princeville spa
itenerary: fun fun fun
well, i guess that's it...so see you all when i get back.
looking forward to my dinner with ying now...i miss my friend.
