I just realized that BZPower's back. Am I very late in this news? I'm sure I am!

Well, the period the board went offline was as long as I needed to get ready to go. I'm heading over to Boston - tonight! On the AirBus A380 no less!

Yet, I feel many pinches of sadness about the people I'm leaving behind: Family, especially the old folks, my wonderful boyfriend (we're going to make this LDR work!), and the friends I've made through secondary school and polytechnic. And, of course, Lucky. I feel really bad for him because he won't know till I disappear for a week or two - and longer. I hope he doesn't cry.

The packing has been hectic. The parents are ecstatic, especially Mum. In fact, she's even more enthusiastic than I am about the affairs of getting there, getting in, and even fitting in. I left most of the packing to her, in the end. It was horrible: leggings, inner vests, and the debate of my favourite pyjamas and winter-cold pyjamas. XD At least she cleared the DS Lite, and figured that getting a video camcorder would be a good idea too. Now I'm thinking of how to prevent theft and keep my stuff safe.

Of all the wondrous things I'm bringing, the most insane of them all is the Magic Pot. It's a thermal cooker with a pot in it, where the pot is to be heated then placed in the cooker. Somehow, the technology of the pot will retain the heat and let it continue to cook the food. The absolutely wonderful thing about it is, even if I left soup in it overnight, it was still scalding hot in the morning. And, the real question is, is it an appliance? Can I even bring it into my dorm room?!

Ah well. I'm heading to the airport real soon, after a spot of dinner. I'm so excited at this aspect of a new journey, and a tad bit nervous as well, about what the future would bring.

Especially the really-close future of going through Heathrow Airport.

Wish me luck!
