Salute to 71 Oakmeadow



So for those who don't know, i moved in mid decemeber. It was a hectic time since it was during my finals when all this happened. I actually had an exam the day we were supposed to leave. Anyway, this was our first home in Canada which makes it a total of 15 years that we've stayed in this place. Some may consider this a short period of time, but i consider it as long. I've spent more time in this house than i did in the two places i lived back in HK. It's also worth noting that i've spent the majority of my childhood and all of my teenage life in this place, so much memories were had.


I admit i was sad the day i left (not to the point of crying), but at the same time i had this pleasant feeling within me. By all means, it wasn't that i was happy to leave an old house for a new one. I was just glad that i was able to spend my childhood years in this place. It was a cozy home. Also, looking ahead, i saw it as a sign of change in life. As i'll be finishing up my last year of uni , parting with my old house was in essense, parting with my inner child. Now don't get me wrong, i don't mean to say im mr.adult now. And as most of you know, i still take part in all sorts of child-like shinnanigans. Basically, all i'm trying to say is that moving houses is symbolic of my moving into a new stage in life. Anyway, here are some pics i took the night i moved.

Oh yea, these pics are of the house when everythings been moved. Pics of how the house actually looked when we were living in it are in a photo album somewhere and it takes too much time to scan.








Ah farewell 71 Oakmeadow











Considering how we've lived in this house for 15 yrs, the white carpet's still....white



































There goes my L table







How i spent my night before final. Tifa poster is new btw.








Everything's been moved to the new house by now, so i had to sleep in a sleeping bag the night of exam.




In my final moments in the house, i decided that i just couldn't leave without striking a few poses.

Me thinking...
