Bye bye house

Am feeling extremely nostalgic and sentimental this morning...today is the last day i will be spending in 3/3-5 Blaxland Ave, Newington. This apartment has held so so many wonderful memories for us and it has been a wonderful refuge from life. Sigh...i think this sentimentalism has been over exaggerated by my raging pregnancy hormones!


Yup...that is pretty much what's left of our living room...that's our "sofa" and our dining table and coffee table!
Tonight we are moving into a service apartment in another suburb. And interestingly...this service apartment is the very same one we holed up in during our first week here in Sydney. Indeed we have come a full circle...finishing where we started...
Looking back at the past has made me realise how far God has taken us...still remember being extremely homesick and pouring my "lostness" through endless pages in my journal...feeling displaced in every sense of the word...and how things started to fall in place. Now we say goodbye again...
We had a lovely weekend snatching whatever time we had to meet up with friends for the last time and we even had an authentic steamboat reunion dinner at Chinese Whispers (a friend's mum's cafe). It is so hard to say goodbye to the people that God had brought into my life at the most crucial times...friendships that would have to take a different form now...sigh! Oh ya...Blessed lunar chinese new year to all!
This might be my last blog entry in Sydney...as i might not get to an internet access during the week...well the next time i won't be "lost-in-Sydney" anymore...maybe "blur-in-Singapore"?
