Beginning October

Drinks, parties, farewells, dinners and running errands were the activities that surrounded me. What an ending for me here.

I met up with some almost the same group of people every night. That longing of wanting to spend more time with them suddenly crashed upon me. No matter how tired, I pushed self to make events happened. The girls are really sweet and kind. Played good hosts of preparing steamboat and cleaning the place after the mess. Kat and Sean threw a Braai at home for me as well. Sometimes it takes someone to be leaving to make people gather and treasure times together. Drinking was no longer enjoyable after the second night. It became so hard to even smell alcohol. As the drinks got sipped, it then became less noticeable. Of course, once we get going, we could not stop.

Running errands was what I hated most. Not because of anything else but to get from point A to B, it took too much time. Cabs stop turning up. The wait was almost an hour or more each time, while the travelling time took less than 30 minutes. On top of it, the inefficiency of people at work there was beyond what I could bear. The people were rude, dishonest and "stupid" too. With all these, it just reminded me why I chose to go.

Mixed feelings. One part of me really hate the place. My only hold back was the beautiful friends I have. The people made 3 years of my life less lonely, more interesting and most memorable.

What will I be without friends?

Meeting Uber soon drives me nuts. I am so afraid that the distance and time had affected us. At the same time, that insecurity drives the negative thoughts. Of course, the wait is coming to an end and worth celebrating. Just hoping things will go on well...
