All Set!!!

Finally, I am done with my packing. It was a bit gruelling for me since there are just so many stuffs to bring with only 23 kilos allowable check-in baggage and only a single hand-carry luggage with dimensions no bigger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm. Whew!!! It took so long before I finally relented to leave some of my clothes and shoes. Definitely, I can’t leave the pasalubong for the people back home and some items for my BIG DAY!!!

My taxi booking has been confirmed and it will be picking me up tomorrow from my flat at 5:30 in the afternoon for the 45-minute drive to London Heathrow Airport. Hopefully, motorway traffic will not be that bad so I may have enough time to relax before boarding and check out the duty-free shops.

Too bad, I wasn’t able to do my laundry before leaving as planned. It’s not that much anyway and they should wait until the new year before they will be washed. Hehe!!! The kitchen, lounge and my room has been dusted and cleaned except the other room where I am doing my packing. I should remember to do the cleaning tonight as well as dispose whatever is left in the fridge and bring out little rubbish collected in the bin. Most importantly, I need to secure the window and door locks of my flat and car. Not that burglary is rampant in my place but it’s more of peace of mind that I still have my belongings to return back to. Hehe!!! All along, I was thinking of shutting down the main electric switch so as to leave the property safe and conserve energy, but I was informed by my estate agent that I need to keep the heater on its lowest possible temperature just so to air the whole flat and avoid dampness especially at the onset of winter. Well, she should know better than me. Hehe!!!

As for work, I already finished my deliverable for this week and my review is scheduled this afternoon. My boss will be driving down here from Huntingdon in the course of the afternoon solely for my second-half evaluation (you see, he is based in a different office location). So, that leaves me with an unruffled Friday and I would just be counting the hours to keep me occupied.

Just a few more hours….and I’m all set for my departure.
