Here's to another attempt at reading my Finance book. Have a half-mark test coming up. It's not quite a midsession exam but hey it's pretty much that.
Sydney-Dubai (+ Lloyd's last Sydney day)
I was meant to meet up with Lloyd right before he left but he got so caught up doing his last minute thingamajigs in the arvo that we had to postpone it til after 9pm. So I was just hanging around work, studying and kinda helping them fix the rosters at the same time. The work-related bit is kinda frustrating. I decided to be uninvolved but I led them to the right direction anyway.
I dragged Al to my Company Law class cos she's having the undergrad version the exact same time and it was relatively as boring. I sat through most of the lecture without having my mind wander around which is a big plus for me.
Decided to really head home afterwards. I kinda got over my sadness fairly quickly anyway. I have more concrete justifications on the matter, really which I need not announce.
Intended to ring Lloyd prior to his flight yesterday morning but Sririn accidentally slept in so I opened the store on my own anyway and got kinda busy that I didn't get the chance to grab my phone and ring. Oh well.
Central-St. Leonards
So I caught my train from Central. I don't really like that place but the first bus from uni was from Central so I took it cos I wanted to get home quicker. Got on the train and accumulated a collection of eccentric personalities prior to crossing the Harbour Bridge.
Asian dude sat on my side of the long bench after this lady got off and he soooo reeked of Rugby! The Rugby we have back home that these poor homeless kids get addicted to! It was that awful overpowering varnish-like smell that would just not stop intruding your senses! Good thing that dude decided to aim for a 'better' spot.
I wasn't sure if the Rugby was coming from him but he seemed to have brought it on to our spot and as he left I was still trying to snort out the funky smell from my nostrils. I saw this lady on the other end of my bench and she had a weird look on her face which made me assume she was thinking along the same lines as me.
And poor lady, this weirdness of an old man across from her decided to comment upon her obvious discomfort and dubbed her "uptight." Mr. weird old man started preaching to her about religion and all sorts of stuff that she couldn't help but smile in a rather awkward manner. Guys sitting across me were grinning themselves. Poor lady must have had one of the weirdest train rides ever.
There's just funny people everywhere.
Wynyard-Kensington-Maroubra
Yesterday's class was pretty boring. I was happy to be sitting in front of a rather talkative Alex. He woke me up every now and again. I had to barge out of the class during the break cos Al needed help to get home.
It was like winning a trip to Maroubra. Her place was far out there although I have to admit the neighborhood is nice. Nicer if you have a car, though. The granny house was equally charming.
Maroubra-Town Hall
Had a nice night out with Jenny to cap the day off. We hung out for like 4 hours originally intending to watch a movie and decided against it. We engaged in like 3 series of mind baffling discussions about life and everything else in it. It was fun. We drank so much as we went from the Jap resto to Starbucks and then on to another cafe.
I call that a sign of getting old. We'd rather sit down and talk rather than do something active. We walked a fair bit from one place to another though. Last night was late night shopping but we didn't really remember until 9pm, which is when the shops close!
Oh well, maybe next time!
