And so the Big Day has arrived. No, not my wedding day, but the day my family were to shift out of our Tampines home, for good. Inevitably, I feel a little sad and nostalgic, as staying in Tampines was all that I've ever known, though I was born while we were still based at West Coast. I spent about 8-9 years at my Avenue 5 flat, and the house I was leaving now, I had been living in since I was 10, a good 14-year-period. All the hard work we've done in preparing to move out culminated in the actions done today. We had been slowly transferring essential furniture like the beds bit-by-bit to my sister's house, while the rest of the major household stuffs meant for our under-construction Nusa Idaman house are to be transferred to our rented condo in Johor, which serves partly as a storage area and partly as an alternate home. After shifting our possessions out, my parents handed over the house keys to the new owners to signal a new chapter in our collective lives.
