Okay, so I've had a relatively busy period of life since exams.
Here's a summarised version:
THE DEGREE
So I passed all my exams this semester and because of that, I completed my degree :)
 |
| CONFIRMATION OF DEGREE |
Rather happy that that's over but it's not fun to be without campus friends and stuff now.
Especially since the gee-eff is in Mozambique since last week.
I feel so alone :/
Took forever to finish campus stuff by the way :/
With the amount of checking and confirming I had to do.
Apart from having to deal with staff replying to my emails with "goway" :|
Seriously. WHO DOES THAT?
Otherwise, it's been job hunting and stuff. Bleh. It sucks. DO NOT LIKE.

So anyway, the reason that everything's been busy and stuff since exams is not just because of campus stuff or job hunting. It's mostly because my cousin, Reuben, was getting married! (Again, congrats/condolences!)
I have a relatively large amount of overseas relatives so because they were down, we were trying to see them almost every day.
I got to see Mary Rose, Indran and Caelyn. Got to take care of Caelyn for some time this holiday.
Hayley, Sastri, Devak and Jai were also around and we got to see them for a while too :)
Before I got to hang with them and stuff, however, I was ambushed.
THE AMBUSH
It was a dark and stormy night.
Okay, no. It was a calm and relatively average day.
I went to visit Verushka in order for her to help me with my CV and job hunting.
We spent most of the morning doing that. Suddenly and unfortunately, Verushka received some stressful work-related news (her own work, that is) and I decided to stay a little longer and make sure she was okay. Not too long because her family was coming over for supper that evening.
It was getting towards late afternoon and we had just about sorted everything out when SUDDENLY... some family arrived. :/
Panic stained the air.
Thankfully, Trishanta and Yulishka arrived first. I knew them and apart from seeing their disturbing faces, I was okay with them being there.
I needed to escape quickly so I started getting ready and then was struck with another blow when I heard a second car pulling up the driveway.
[Horror movie music starts playing in the background]
Relative after relative was introduced to me. I received stares, nicknames, and then... compliments, jokes, warming smiles.
This family wasn't so bad :)
In fact, they were very much like my own. A large family, but one that I enjoyed being around.
Of course, I was not used to everyone yet, but they seemed like actual good people.
Slightly calmer now, I managed to mingle a little and to even laugh and talk.
All in all, an okay experience.
Perhaps I would not mind seeing these people again.

ANYWAY, the actual big event. The wedding:
THE WEDDING
Reuben's wedding required us to help out quite a bit and to see most of my family very often. I don't mind seeing my family as I'm very comfortable with most of them.
I would say everything went swimmingly: the bachelor party, nalangu, and the wedding itself.

| I don't have a picture of the bridal couple, but I managed to take this delightful pic of Jai feeding Caelyn. |
Anyway, glad that everything went well and all the best for Reuben and Kemsila in the future. :)
They do, in fact, make a wonderful couple. (Good luck, Kemsila. You'll need it.)

DRAKENSBERG
So after the wedding, we were free to spend more time with Indran, Mary Rose and Caelyn.
We actually went to Drakensberg for a couple days. Thought I'd just briefly mention it (LOLbrief).

Yep. Was rather entertaining. The little lady kept us busy and when we actually got to spend time with Indran and Mary Rose, they were excellent company as usual. :)

BIRTHDAYS
After we got back, I attended two 21st birthday events. Yashaar's and my cousin, Brandon's.
 |
| The traditional cake photo. (Well, him as well, but I meant the birthday cake that is ON his face.) |
Sorry, Brandon. I didn't take any photos at your party :/
Oops.
But another happy birthday for each of you! All the best, God's richest blessings, etc etc.

Um... I think that's about it for the holiday summary?
Yeah, okay. More posts to come shortly. Then after they're done, they'll appear on this blog. Yay.
