And I did finish my work ! The whole book was finished and I did not expect that. Then I went for their Banking lecture which was on Derivatives and almost fainted from boredom. Lol. The lecturere was not very good. Running away after two hours, we went to a Korean restaurant down on King Street for dinner with some of the others. It was very good, and myself, WoobyBear and SabBear shared a bottle of Soju. Later on we decided to catch a movie at Melbourne Central and me, JinBear and NiqBear watched Hairspray while all the others watched Rush Hour 3. It was sooo good ! I was singing in the cinema and later when all the other people left, the three of us were dancing in front of the big screen. It was really a fun movie. Getting back to IH, I met OmarBear and he took me and JeanBear out to the great Kebab trailer on the other side of Royal Park. Food was still fantastic and I ate one even though I was not hungry at all because it was soooo good. We also talked a lot and it was great to find someone so passionate about his job and life on the whole.

The next day, woke up walk in university, after which I walked to the city to do some errands. Went into the State Library for the first time in my life, and also managed to get JinBear's birthday present. It will take about two weeks though so she would have to collect it herself. (YOU BETTER TELL ME IF YOU LIKE IT!). Then walked a lot around the city before going to meet up with CCBear and KeeBear who had a mega assignment due. It was decided that we would all eat dinner at the Verve and have a mega assignment session too. JeanBear and VeronBear came for dinner too. And the work began. I got so sick of the assignment and it was not even mine and I did not really do anything too ! So glad I did not do any marketing in university. With a mix of assigment, DS, TV, we spent the night there.

Next morning they finished up and finally we went for lunch at Melbourne Central at the Japanese place next to the Crepe place. Then it was Mahjong at Verve where we finally tallied all the accounts...(not too bad, lost 5 dollars in 3 weeks..) and then I was picked up by FredBear to go to Collingwood to pick up SherBear to go watch the SINGALONG HAIRSPRAY at the Jam Factory !! It was so cool ! Basically they had all the lyrics for all the songs at the bottom of the screen so that you could sing along like a karaoke session. It is a really good concept...Went back to the Verve where CCBear, KenBear, KeeBear, DanBear and DamBear had all prepared to go to Seven again. So we went. And it was windy. We got in, and did what people do in clubs and finally left around 3, I think. I remember some fries and some onion rings at Hungry Jacks because they were out of soft serve, and then walked over to Chilli Padi. Bumped into RaeBear who was on the way to get some fries from McDonalds. Hehe. So funny. And then met the rest of them up there. Had some diet coke before OmarBear picked my up along with some other people from IH for some breakfast at 4 am before they start fasting for Ramadan.

It was funny because we were there a bit late and the Afghan food took a while to cook so with only five minutes to go, they starting getting some of the untouched food from nearby tables. Because if they did not do that, they would not be getting any food at all. Then the food came, and people started eating really fast, and debating on the proper time that the deadline was. Tired out, went back to shower and catch some sleep. CKBear came a knocking around 8.30 as he had to go off so had to say goodbye then already. Then slept on off a bit more, and finally managed to get DaveBear to come pick me and my luggage up and go to Seasons. Thanks JeanBear for letting me stay there ! Lugging up the stuff upstairs and then went to Uropa where there was a planned surprise party for JinBear. It was funny and lots of fun really. Probably the last ever group birthday celebration for me with these guys. Lots of food and lots of cooking and some Articulate! later, went down to see IzyBear and buy some chocolates for the workplace. Then loaded luggage on to the car, and then we went off to High Street for dinner with SoBear, RaeBear, FredBear, SherBear, JinBear, RachBear, DinoBear and NiqBear.

FredBear, SherBear and NiqBear accompanied me to the airport and the line was CRAZY long. But we managed to check in, and then had some coffee and mocktails at Hilton before going in.

And then I got on the plane.

Phew.

There.

The holiday is finally over.

But I have had so many new thoughts and revelations on this trip. Which I would/should be blogging about soon.

It is the end of another era....I call it entering my 7th stage of life...

And therefore, truthfully, yes, I did cry on the plane. And it was weird, because I was looking at all the lights in Melbourne and was thinking that it was very nice that they were so nice and straight. Lol. And it came without warning. It just came.

Luckily the lights were all off.
