Move In Day

Today is move in day. I brought the remaining items to the townhouse which I was going to live in for the next 9 months. It's a little déjà vu. I dragged my luggage from the service apartment to the new place. It was in the evening. The sun was setting but it was still relatively bright. It was really cloudy, and the walk to the townhouse was a really quiet one.

After putting aside the remaining items and testing out the printer, it was time to say goodbye. I saw my parents out the house. I walked up to my new bedroom window. In the darkness I could see my mother putting on her coat and waving goodbye to me. My father joined her a minute later, and proceeded down the driveway.

As I watched them disappear into the darkness, I felt a little choked up inside. It's like one of those scenes in a drama where two people separates and are not going to see each other for a long time. The only difference is that I'm going to see my parents again tomorrow. Dramatic right? They will by flying back to Singapore on the 18th October, which is 10 days from now. So that will give me time to adjust to not living with my parents.

There was a period of time where I lived overseas without my parents. That was when I went to Virginia USA to perform with my SPDS squad. I was not anxious or worried about separating from my parents, because I was with people I knew and am familiar with.

Tomorrow morning, I will be heading down to the campus for my orientation. Hopefully I will meet some nice and friendly people there and not be so awkward. Haha
