goodbyes.


"You know the strange feeling you get when you're about to leave a place- You'll not only miss the people there, you'll also miss the person you are at the time and place, because you'll never be the same again."

Seems like just yesterday when it was my first day at work. Saying my awkward hellos and then unexpectedly being arrowed to help out at an event AFTER working hours, which I willingly and unassumingly obliged. I walked into the room where they were preparing the different items for the event, feeling extremely out of place. The most memorable part was eventually working till 3am that day. That, was my first day of work, But then again, I guess it was all of these amazing moments that helped to built the unique camaraderie that I share with each and every one of the colleagues thereafter. Needless to say, I made 2 very good buddies after that first day at work.

The series of events that I got to helped out with every single Friday thereafter before my long holiday were also rather eye-opening experiences. Looking back, those were some tiring but fun times that I will definitely think about.

It amazes me still, how 6 months of friendship felt like a lifetime. There were compelling reasons to extend my stay, but life often brings about unexpected opportunities that you know you will regret if you don't take that chance. Life is  about taking risks, isn't it?

thanks for e memories

Just when i was trying to decide what to have for lunch, Doug came over n ask if I wanted to join him. So we explored the nice cafe just downstairs. Another free lunch day cos he insisted on treating. Oh well. Must be bcos i witnessed how he was verbally shot millions of time by the sales reps with the harsh qns and gg through bad times together brings ppl closer. Ha.

Had class today- the LAST one of the year. Unofficial that is, bcos after presenting today, there's no point coming tmr. The lecturer is TOO unbearable. It's alright to explain thoroughly ONCE, but he has a habit of explaining TWICE THRICE MULTI-TIMES as though u didn't get it the first time. AHH. It makes me wanna stomp my feet.

But somehow there's this yi yi bu she feeling. It's like everybody knows we probably wont see each other anymore n there's this bittersweet feeling. So contradicting! And to think the person who initiated to take pic together is a guy. HA! What's e world becoming?! But that request kind of warms my heart, knowing ur presence means something to somebody...

For unknown reasons, saying goodbye after class today is extremely emotional and hugging seems like the most appropriate thing to do. HA! but no, i hugged no one! But ya, you get how it feels

It's finally over! Just one more research paper to submit at the end of this month. Hang in there! :))
