what a day

Today i spent almost my whole day in ubd. Went to FBEPS to hand in questionnaires, settled with my so-called salary, met up with nining and finally, passed the gift to my supervisor.
He's going on leave again next month for 3 months; he's trying to clear out the leaves he has accumulated since a few years ago. He said he's going back to UK for further medical treatment. Hope his health is going to be ok. When i talked with him, it felt so nice. I was a bit reluctant to leave the room. Because i don't know when will be the next time i'll see him again. Feel a bit disappointed when i found out that he won't be here for the convo.
Actually planned to come home before noon. Then another lecturer called and asked if i could see him at 3pm to discuss for the courses i did last two years. Oh yeah! Can anyone tell me how should i react when people praise about my classification? I feel bit awkward when a person tells another person that i top the class. I guess i'm just not used to complements. I have no idea what to say except smile and say thank you. Now i feel lucky that most of my family members don't understand the classification system of my degree.

I'm sure i'm going to miss the time in uni, just like i miss the time back in sufri. That's like the most care-free period in my life up to now. I ate whatever and whenever i wanted, talked about almost anything with the old ladies and enjoyed the excitement my study brought to me.
It's amazing that till now, things haven't changed much between me and the old ladies, except maybe i'm a bit quieter now when talking in a group.
When i walked around the campus today, i was stucked with a mixture of emotions. Happy because of my results, a bit sad because i'm leaving the place soon and relieved too that i didn't encounter many problems during my time in ubd.

Nining kept assuring me that i am not fat now. I know i am not, if based on the definition of 'fat' in brunei but it's a fact that my clothes are tight now. Plus, no harm losing a few kilos to feel better about myself.
But tomorrow i'm going for a lunch buffet with the old ladies and night time i've asked lizzy out for dinner at the new gerai in tutong. It's going to be a fruitful day for my tummy!

I have sent out a few job applications and so far, no reply from any of them yet. Next month i'm going to start my RA job at IM. I actually hope i can get a permanent job before september. Just don't feel secure with a temporary job. I'm being choosy. Since i still have some savings, i think it should be alright for me to choose jobs.

People, this august is the ghost month. Whether you believe in this or not, just be cautious with everything, especially while driving.
