Last day in Brisbane

16 December 2008

It's a mixed feeling... Happy that we're finally going back home for good, but at the same time it's sad to say good-bye to a place we've grown attached to, especially after such a long time staying here. We may no longer see our friends we're leaving behind, but for sure we'll always remember them, forever!

So, on this last day, mummy and daddy had to sort out lots of things. The delivery company picked up our stuff that will be shipped to Brunei. We had lots of boxes and loose items, and the delivery van was full! After measurements was made, mummy was told that we had an extra 1.5 cubic metres more than the government allowance that mummy is entitled to, and we had to pay around AU$650 for the extra bit. Hehehe... It's expected right, after all, the allowance is meant for one person, but the stuff is that of the whole family, including nini laki and nini bini! Hehehe...

At the same time, we also had a carpet and mattress cleaning service today, as directed by our real estate agent. Mummy and daddy also had to make sure that the house is clean and tidy, and so cleaning works had to be done, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms.

After all is done, we went to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre to sort out our phone lines, broadband as well as mummy's bank account. Then, we relaxed and enjoyed scones, cappuccino and hot chocolate to celebrate our last day in Brisbane. Finally, a stop at Guyatt Park to end the day.

Tomorrow, we'll be flying off to Brunei... Bye-bye Brisbane!
