Epilogue : Exodus

One million fifty-one thousand, two hundred minutes
One million fifty-one thousand moments so dear
One million fifty-one thousand, two hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure two years?

(adapted from Seasons of Love – OST Rent)

Well, my friends, after 2 years, the time has finally come. Next month the lease at my current place is expiring, and we have decided not to renew it because it is too damn expensive. So that means that I will have to move…. again. That means sorting, packing, moving, and unpacking. YAY! (that is sarcasm, in case you didn’t notice).

But….. this will be the 2nd last time I am moving around…. YAY! (this time it’s a real yay  =D)

Why, one might ask? Because….. I am actually in the process of buying my own house (well, technically not a house, but more like an apartment). But it’s not gonna be ready until April / May next year.

Oh I’m gonna miss this place….. lots of things have happened here… some good, some not so good, but overall it’s memorable. Actually this place is one of the places where I have stayed the longest…… let’s recap where I have lived and how many times I have moved in the past 12 years……
