A very eventful day, or was it?

First of August. Gosh. August already. I'm still unemployed. Bah. That's EIGHT months of sitting on my arse. Pfft.

Anyway. First of August marked the day I went off to Sydney for a whole half hour, then came back. It's the day I went to send Yongs off, till the next time I see him again. It's also the day of my last IB. Also my worst. As in worst IB, not worst day.

So I started the day, waking up at 7am, to shower and prepare for my 3-hour bus trip. I also conveniently managed to damage my glasses the day before so I had to put on my contacts. Got to the bus, took a nice long ride into the neighbouring state.

When I was nearly reaching my destination, Hongs called and said "Xin where are you ah?" I'm like...erm, reaching soon. She went, "You do know our bus leaves at 11.15 right?".

Xin: You serious? But my bus is scheduled to ARRIVE at 11.15. Crap!
Hongs: Erm, never mind lah, you just get off one bus to jump on the other loh.

Crossing my fingers, I hoped we reached there early, and we did, lucky thing. The other bus also arrived late. Luckier thing. So I had a half hour in the airport, saw Aits, talked a bit, farewelled Yongs, hugs all around, photos a bit bit, then took another 3-hour long bus trip home.

Then got home, went to the city for a bit, rested a bit, then Hongs came over to primp and doll us up. Us being Shuey, Su Yin and I.

Primp and proper, we walked in heels to the International Ball. The night was a disaster for me. I didn't really have fun, the food was bad, performances....mehh. By the mid of the event, I was already half dead and gone. My eyes were so weary I could close them in a snap.

What I disliked MOST about the event, was how there was ZILCH schedule around. No one had any idea what was happening or when. MCs were entertaining themselves with suggestive jokes on stage, people on the floor were too busy doing their own things to care, it's like people on stage were in a different world to those on the floor.

And was I disappointed I didn't go up on stage? Yes. I do like to be in the limelight and I like the attention, I'm definitely not shy to admit that. I bothered to dress up to stand out in the crowd, but my effort was dusted off like a piece of lint.

And not just me, I must add. Yeam did a fantastic job dressing up too. And all his wonderful videos (I see an alternative career path should he decide to give up on Econs) went unappreciated.

Owh wells. And I also found out that it is my last ever ball, or formal dinner. For the year, possibly. Unless some other ball comes up. I won't be attending Malam Gemilang, cause I won't be around. I'll be home, rotting, while people (hopefully) have fun without me around. =( Am tiny bit regretting the decision to go home. Cause so many awesome things are happening whilst I'm gone. I'll miss out on so much. Boo.

I guess, an eye for an eye. I get to go home, and enjoy the company of family. I should focus on that yay part. And try to forget the fun I'm missing out on, the money I could be earning, the people I'll miss. Cheeyyy say until like I won't be coming back. =P

So, Canberra, don't miss me too much. I'll be back within a month! *blows kisses*
