The start of the rush!

Everything you see here (except the laptops) are for sale!

We started to pack a couple of days ago to get ready for our move to New Zealand. Between Hannah and I, we probably have 12 bags! There are so many more things to get rid off!.... I guess 5 years in Florida really stocks up a lot of things. There are lamps, pet's toys, lots of books, clocks, mirrors, blankets, TV, TV stand, air bed, plates, bowls, pots and pans and so many more things!.... We decided that we should have a sale...an unique bag sale. Everyone who comes to the sale pays $5. This entitles them to a Walmart bag which they can fill as many things as they want.... what a sale!...

The long journey!

It was a long journey, there were ups and downs, and emotions was running wild!... Firstly, Hannah's application took ages, then there were problems with my application, and there was a time which seemed that it was not going to happen. We talked about it, and decided that we would try to make it no matter how hard it is. It seems that the sweetest reward almost always require the most effort!

And today, finally, it is here!.. Our New Zealand student visa is here! For the past two days, we sneaked out of Melbourne, and went to pay our last visit to the caves in North Florida. Unaware that as we were diving deep in the caves, our student visa was on the way back to us. We came back home, tired and happy. And to our pleasant surprise, our student visa is here. Well, they were at Yaprak's place (we used her address as our forwarding address). Damla called us to inform the good news. Now what's left to do is to pop the champagne, sell our stuffs, pack our bags, say good-bye to good friends, and we will be on the plane to New Zealand on July 9th 2009!

Vince is my new hero!

So, I am sure everyone has seen the "Rap chop". Funny thing is it really makes me want to go out and get a slap chop!... Hannah and I are going out next week to get one for our trip to NZ, and definitely getting th sham-wow along as well!.. Here is the original infomercial.... watch it and tell me you definitely want one!

"Rap Chop" featuring Vince (Steve Porter's Slap Chop remix)

People, blame it on the fact that there is just too much time on my hand! I came upon this video, and Hannah was saying I need to share this with everyone! Remember "Headset" Vince - the guy who was selling Sham-wow on TV? Do you know he also sells a device call "Slap Chop"? Crank up the audio and enjoy!
