• this is embarrassing...

  I probably should have mentioned here that I am moving out...to the apartment across the hall.
  You see the scientist couldn't take our living conditions here any longer (seven people in a three-bedroom apartment), so while waiting for our house to be done in Nilai my parents rented the empty unit across the hall to store all our new furniture for the new house...along with their first generation children (me and the engineer, the goth lives on campus so he's excluded). It's funny how that unit will house all new furniture but with old 20-something children.
  
  I protested moving out at first because I had worked so hard decorating this room I'm in (the walls are PURPLE), but then the scientist said that I would be having my own room, along with my own queen-sized bed, and a whole apartment practically all to myself if I moved out. It took me a while to finally agree though. She had me when she mentioned that the room I'd be taking has the only functional air conditioner in the entire house.
  
  We've rented that place for over two months already but I am only just at the beginning stages of packing and moving my stuff there because I was too busy with school before to move, so I told the scientist (who never failed to ask when I'm moving out) that I'd start moving after finals. Only I kind of wasted the whole of last week by not packing anything. Was the scientist pissed!
  
  Now that my room is already fully furnished, today I decided to pack up some things and move them. I started with the things under my desk, which were stacks and stacks of magazines and files and boxes. I spent the whole day going through them. I found some things that were pretty embarrassing actually.
  
  
  I had this as the cover of my plastic file in form 4...I also had one as a back cover, only I didn't want to take a picture of it because it was too embarrassing. It had a picture of a guitar on it with the words ROCK N ROLL on top, accompanied by more Razorlight pictures...oh gosh. *cringe*
  
  
  I called this My Monster Book of Potter. It's huge. And heavy. Filled with nothing but Potter memorabilia I printed/bought/stole.
  
  
  
  
  I think I got Jwen to help me buy this. It cost me 18 bucks.
  
  
  I remember I used to ask book stores if I could have their Potter decorations. I even went to the publisher who printed the Potter stuff here and they gave me a lot of free stuff. Speedy Video were also nice enough to give me all their extra large Potter movie posters and banners. I still have them rolled away in a basket.
  
  
  This is REAL. Dan Radcliffe sent it to me after I sent him a scrapbook I made containing all his favourite bands (or at least I thought they were). *CRINGE* I worked really hard on it. Angelin and Jwen would know, because I did parts of it in class. Oh gosh..I was crazy. It's no wonder I had bad grades that year. He also sent me a letter, and when I read it just now the first thing that came to mind was "Geez what a tool!" He spelt my name wrongly, in a way that made it sound like a really stupid name.
  
  Talk about obsessive. It's no wonder I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 16! I didn't have the heart to throw out the Razorlight 'collage' even though it's really embarrassing because they are a crap band now, and I'm not sure about this, but I think my Monster Book of Potter is worth a fortune. Actually to me it's priceless, because I put in so much effort to get all those things, but you know if I were to sell it, I think some crazy person would actually pay a lot for it.
  
  Tomorrow's going to be another day of packing up things and moving them. Gosh moving is a lot of work. And there's still decorating to do!
