y'know, perhaps i should've cut my nails before i came. lol. they're unbelievably long, and quite a pain when it comes to trying to wrap glass chess pieces in newspaper. anyhow, the removalists are coming in on saturday night, so we're busy packing all the more precious stuff, the bone china, crystal, bone carvings, one real, dried alligator. *blink* and other crockery. all very english, as it came from my grandparents home in england after they passed away. the type of teacups you feel you should hold with your little finger sticking out. *grin* they're also taking the carved table, japanese screen, and the korean cabinets. jeez my family likes to accumulate junk. we've got shitloads of national geographic magazines as well, from ages back.

also have been wandering around the house remembering my favourite parts of it, since it seems unlikely that i'll be back here til the land has been sold and the house pulled down. it reminds me of another side to me that i tend to bury very deeply when i'm in singapore. the me that never had long, talon-like fingernails *grin*, the one always bruised and scratched from doing silly things and playing about outside, the one that was used to snakes and spiders and the like. who didn't mind dust, and using a chemical toilet. lol. seems i'd lost that person quite far back, as perhaps the people that saw me on st john's at the camp would be likely to assume. *grin* then again, singaporeans tend to bring out one particular facet of my personality, and that particular role is one that's quite hard to shake. perhaps i'm more of that person now anyway, but i always could come back here to keep at least some contact with that other bit of me, and that's just not going to be possible anymore. guess this time i'm going to have to take it with me hm?

exam results. this friday i believe. eek.

remember that goanna i said that had eaten the chickens? woke up this morning to the sounds of rex powering out of the house with his gun, with the chickens squawking away, quite panicked. think he got it too. ah, the excitement.

finished the paperwork so far. have been finding really cool stuff that belonged to my grandparents back in england. my grandfathers MBE insignia, along with instructions on how it is to be worn, "in morning dress, on the left breast of the coat" etc. and a picture of them with the president of Korea. some Korean medals. a 50 years of service medal from the Salvation Army. a scroll, also in Korean. photos of brandon and i when we were very little. or rather, photos of him when he was very little, and when i was very little, of him 11 years older than me. :p

brandon's been telling me stories of where our family used to stay when we first came to Australia. caravans, rented property, living like gypsies for the most part. and when they were building our house, and how it was done. stories of me when i was a baby, and the terrible things i used to do to the cat, and him pushing me up and down hills in my pram really fast. *smile* it's been a fairly alrite day i would imagine. we cleaned out my dad's room almost completely. found about 4 old cameras and one of the very early video cameras that you had to wind while you were filming. and all sorts of things from when i was a little girl growing up here. *sigh*

staying here probably another week at the most, then driving down to brisbane. will try to get a plane back to singapore soonest, but we're waitlisted on a flight on the 6th, and we don't know the status of that yet. will be contacting legal aid tomorrow as well, and god knows how long that's going to take.
