Hello, I'm back.

And finally the MEGA event is over and all of us are back to our normal lives. Had woken up a couple of times in the middle of the night thinking that there were still some follow-ups to do (yes, post-event trauma) but overall, am glad that the event had gone by without any major hiccups. The best part was that I really got to see world leaders, like, this close. And oh yes, including dear Mr. Obama, who looked much shorter in person than I thought. Too bad I din have the courage to take a photo of him with my handphone. I was too concerned that I might be towed away by the bodyguards.

Another "highlight" was being invited to the men's toilet by my boss' boss, standing alone with him looking at some showcase aimed at impressing our international guests, and trying not to feel awkward about the whole situation. He did seem really excited about the technology. But like, it's the men's toilet!

And now that the event is over... it's time to bury myself in books and notes and what-nots. Just finished the first paper today, and have two more to go. Am a little worried about the last paper - I didn't attend classes for that module at all the whole semester, and I heard that there is a compulsory question on SPSS. I mean, since when did a comms grad dip become a statistic one?! Wragh!

And..... then it's time to find back my long-lost friends, whom I haven't seen for ages, and whom I'm looking forward to catch up with sometime soon. I've been so out of sight/touch/sound/smell that I probably need to re-introduce myself again. I feel like I've gone overseas for a year and come back... really.
