"I will start packing tomorrow"

I've been saying that to myself for the past...month. At least. Thank goodness I have a large extended family who take particular joy in fluttering around and helping me to buy things...which makes me need to decide what to buy. It's actually quite funny because I'll procrastinate to the point where I find myself going out to "buy stuff" while not having decided what to buy. The upside of this is that most of the time I can figure it out. The downside of this is that while I'm figuring it out, people pick me out stuff in pink.

Ahwell, I'm sure the colour will grow on me.

It was Mooncake Festival Dinner tonight. I know I rarely blog about specific events and recount stuff but, knowing its the last time I'll eat my mom's homecooked vegetables, my grandma's crabs (which she killed herself then spent 2 hours cleaning :O) and my auntie's duck for a long time makes me kinda sad. I guess its a bit like this song:

And if that joy, that thrill,
Doesn't thrill like you think it will, still,
With this perfect finale, the cheers and
The ballyhoo, who, who,
Couldn't be happier?
No, I, couldn't be happier.
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true.
Isn't it? Happy is what happens,
When your dreams come true.

Go listen to Kristen Chenoweth sing it and you'll truly get the melancholy of it all. Now that I'm finally getting everything I've been working for, its actually not as happy as you think it would be. I have to admit, finally, that I have a family that is epic and loving to the max. As much as I find it uncomfortable, it is touching that they love me to bits. Every. Single. One. And that sort of makes me want to stop moping around and REALLY start getting it all together tomorrow. I haven't loved them enough in my time here and I will make it up by making them bloody proud of me.

...I hope.
