4 more days to New Zealand!!! To be honest, i am more stressed up then relaxed that i am leaving..
Life seems to be playing tricks at me recently.. Just when everything seems to fall into place, some issue crops up.. and then things fall into place again..
My new tenant moved in on Saturday around midnight, a ridiculous time for moving, if you ask me. His reason was that his mover was delayed. When he mentioned the word "mover", i knew something was gonna go wrong.. True enough, when he arrived on Saturday night, he literally moved "the whole house" into his one tiny room.. He brought a huge office desk (when we already bought one for him), 2 pedestals, a few huge luggage bags, and like 6-7 huge card boxes.. At one point, one of the movers who was lugging the office desk stopped and asked me where he should leave the desk, cause i think the room was already full. I just looked at him, rolled my eyes at K, and told the mover that everything will go into the room only. Before he moved in, there was already a super single bed, a wardrobe, a book shelf and an office table and chair.
I knew it was impossible to fit everything into his room, so the next day, i saw boxes in my living room. I was totally pissed off and kept complaining to K that it was not fair to treat my house like a storage place when he only paid rent for one room. On the same night, my tenant explained that this was only temporary until he finds more space in his room to store everything. It's been 3 days, and now there is only one card board box in my living room. Which he says contains empty boxes that he will dispose of. I guess i can deal with that.. = )
Then last week, i got an email from the family who was supposed to host us in Auckland when we arrived for the first 2 days.. They said they were not able to host us cause they had some personal commitments.. So i became stuck with no accomodation for the first 2 days. I was quite freaked out at that time, and asked K to quickly start searching for backpackers' hostel. Both him and my mom in law even suggested that we sleep in the airport, since we will be arriving late at night anyway, and it was dangerous to travel at night. I was totally not happy with that idea of sleeping in the airport after a 10 hour flight!!
Then 2 days ago, another family responded to my earlier requests and said they could host us on the first 2 days.. So now i am waiting for them to provide me with their home address and contact number.. it's been a day and still no reply, getting a bit impatient as the days passed by.. = (
So just when everything seems to be falling into place, i hear news of the Swine flu that has killed more than a hundred people in Mexico, and spreading to parts of US and even in New Zealand. Perfect. Exactly what i need. So this afternoon, i went to my company doctor for advice. All i can say was my visit was fruitless.. cause there is no vaccine yet. The doctor just gave me a few motherhood advice on washing my hands regularly, avoid crowded areas blah blah blah.. Don't even know why i bother to go..
Lastly, my house is in a mess!! And we haven't started packing everything in yet. But from the looks of it, i don't think we can fit everything into our luggage... = (
Also, K has been coming home late everyday because of his work and settling his business matters.. I'm a bit worried for him too cause it looks like he is fighting for time everyday.. really worried will both fall sick from all the stress.. My period has been late for 20 days now, not sure if it's because of the stress.. Then again, since life is playing so many tricks on me recently, maybe i am pregnant..
Sigh.. why is life playing on these sickening tricks on me!! I don't have the strength to fight them already.. don't know how long i can last..
