fun fun

My female owner woke up feeling miserable. It’s Saturday and she has nothing to look forward to in Brisbane. In sharp contrast, she can think of heaps of things to entertain herself in Singapore. The last two days in Brisbane hadn’t been fun fun.

She arrived on Thursday, was picked up by her friend and “slept her sianz away” in the afternoon. She woke up around dinner time, coz Mr Nice Guy was coming over to decorate the house for a farewell party for some bible study people on Friday. The first time he said to her was “eh, can you come outside to help me carry things?” Hmm.. wonder why my female owner always get suaned by people.

My female owner tried to find reasons for coming back to Brisbane so early but couldn’t. Her consolation was that Mr Nice Guy, Housemate and her went out for drinks after decorating the house. Ah, something that makes her feel at home. What’s more, there were some male eye candy in the shop.

Friday came. My female owner tore herself from home (remember, she doesn’t like going out if transport is difficult) to meet her new clinical supervisor. While the meeting was good, it didn’t help that she could only start her placement in Feb. Her first thought was predictably, then why go back to Brisbane so early? Even more sianz, she messaged good old Best Fern who told her to just relax in Brisbane.

Her next intended stop was the university as she wanted to settle her visa issues. In the city, she met an acquaintance, literally someone whom she had spoken to once. My female owner ended up having lunch and going shopping with her. Was a fruitful time for her, she reckons. And she ended up getting Mr Nice Guy to pick her up from the city to go back home for the farewell party.

Farewell party was sweet, wacky and nostalgic. Everyone turned up. My female owner knew deep within her heart that this was the main reason why she did not change her air-ticket or why she stopped praying that her flight would be overbooked and that she would be asked to travel later (this happened to her before). Still, my female owner felt a sense of distance from the group but reckons that she will warm up fairly quickly.

After all, nothing could be worse than last year when she returned, when she did not have a place to stay, had to go house-hunting in the hot summer sun, had to join a new bible study group and complete the remnants of her internship . In comparison, this year is much kinder. She has a house to return to (but she is moving room!!), no need to move stuff or buy furniture and an established bible study group of friends to hang out with.

For now, she is still feeling blue.
