Pre-packing picture

Just one, but... I think it shows just how little I have to pack ^^;;;;

I estimate all of this to weigh about 100 pounds (45 kg) at the very most. Probably less than 75 pounds (34 kg)...

( Snapshot of packing )

I'll probably post an inventory of what's being packed, together with what's not (meaning that if you want to borrow it, etc. you can ask then XD), once the list is finalized.

I hope the consultant won't throw a fit at how little I have to pack...

20 minutes later (and post-consultant)... his tablet PC is so sexy~~! And there weren't any problems at all with the packing; it should all be going by air and I may even get one or two extra boxes for clothes and other things.

Mmm, yummy ramen~ (but no edible visas, unfortunately)

I was overjoyed that my visa documents finally came this morning, about an hour after my last entry. Perhaps the only problem now is that I'm very much buried in paper. ^^;;; (edit: just to clarify, these are the documents that I need when applying for a visa, not the visa itself ^^;;; )

I went out for lunch with my ex-NS colleagues (including my CC) for lunch at Ajisen Ramen in Lot 1 to celebrate a colleague's ORD (and as an unofficial "makan" which there wasn't time for when it was my turn last October) :P

The ramen that I ordered was pretty good (ton toro, with fried pork I believe), and it came with a side dish of chicken teriyaki. It wasn't very spicy and was easy to swallow. ^^ The same couldn't be said for the "volcano" ramen, though, which lived up to its name with a 4-chilli (for hotness) rating. :P Nevertheless, everyone who ordered it was able to finish it, and according to them, it tastes really great, if you can handle the spicyness. Perhaps I should try it next time. Any takers?

After that, it was time for a bit of brief shopping in which I bought two large spindles of CD-Rs and DVD+Rs respectively as well as a 60-page file clear holder for my loose scores, and then checked out the Winter Time warehouse sale at Jurong East. The prices are quite attractive, and I'll be going there tomorrow on Monday afternoon with my mother to actually buy stuff.

The cooking items may also be back on the agenda, because I don't believe that the import/customs duty will be that much. It'll certainly rebut show itsacz that I'm not that underequipped lightweight. :P

And... oh yeah, if you happen to be in the Esplanade/Raffles City area tomorrow evening, do come down to watch NUSPE perform "Da Capo" at the Esplanade Library from 5 to 5:30 pm. ^^

I never knew pianists were bored *and* depressed

I just thought it was one or the other. :P

So yeah... I'm a bored and depressed pianist! XD
