hectic

My female owner’s last day in Brisbane was hectic.

Slept at 0300hr: Was packing her things and doing some heavy duty reading for her RA work.

Woke up at 0545hr. To give the washing machine enough time to wash her clothes as she needs to get out of the house by 0700hr.

0700hr: left the house to return the rental car for her housemate. My female owner had to rent the car for her housemate because she was the only person above 18+++++++ years old..

0740hr: caught the bus in the city back to school.

0810hr: prepared for meeting with her research supervisor.

0930hr: meeting (tried to look as if she did a lot of work, not sure if she succeeded)

1015hr: misc clinic work. Ran around trying to get people to sign administrative papers. Sent emails. Made phone-calls.

1130hr: caught the bus to Indooroopilly Shopping Centre

1200hr: looked around for stuff

1400hr: caught the bus to Toowong (or so she thought). Realised after 15mins that she was on the wrong bus… coz she found herself travelling in the wilderness, with grass and grazing horses. Kept sitting in the bus, hoping to go by a train station.

1420hr: decided to cut her losses and turn back. Her Intuitive Fren also happened to sms her at that time. By God’s grace, the bus arrived as she crossed over to the other side of the road. The friendly and empathetic bus-driver told her to take a seat when she told him that she was lost. So nice! You will never get that in Singapore.

1445hr: Reached Indooroopilly Shopping Centre (déjà vu?) Waited for her Intuitive Fren to come to pick her up.

1545hr: Finally came!

1600hr: Reached home. Continued her frantic packing (coz she needed to move at 2030hr tonight), in between talking to her Onli Fren.

1715hr: Left her packing and set off for school for a silly meeting. Got waylaid by some friends along the way to school.

1730hr: Meeting started. My female owner was in her usual meeting mode, i.e. disengaged.

1900hr: Pizza and wine dinner (she skipped the wine). Tried to avoid her CMI supervisor.

2000hr: Rushed home to finish packing.

2030hr: Her friends arrived to help her move.

2115hr: Walked home from her friend’s house. Called a church friend to arrange for another birthday celebration (never-ending!)

2130hr: Reached home. Finally, end of a hectic day of appointments. At some ease (coz still need to clear her room). MSN with Potahto and her Neighbour. Packed her luggage for Singapore. She suspects that she is overloaded again. Made herself a cup of coffee. She wanted to spend some time reflecting on the year.

Actually, that rushing from place to place, appointment to appointment had been her typical lifestyle for the past 9 months, except that in addition to that, she would be doing her coursework at night.

How did she survive with 4hrs of sleep? Oh! Did I mention that she weighed herself at 1115hr and realised that she lost 1.8kg?!
