I think when I dont want my train of thoughts to be disrupted its better for me to blog in English, cos typing in Chinese is slower. And I gotta admit that after years of abandoning Chinese, I had to grapple with the right choice of words to express myself. Alrighty, I shall try to blog in chinese occasionally to prevent my Mandarin std from sliding to the pits!

And yesterday was officially, finally... my last day of work. Don't get mistaken, I said finally not cos I can't wait to leave that place. In fact, I cant bear to. But 'finally' becos I had extended twice, and whether I want it or not, its time for me to go back to sch and dutifully be a gd student. for my final year.

The past two days I had been doing things that I do not have to do, but took great lengths to... becos I know if I dont go out of the way, I wont see certain people or go certain places anymore. Which was why for e.g. I delivered the A4 size white envelopes to Biz Control personally cos I know they need it badly since a few wks back.

What really touched me the most was the well wishes, the lil' gifts & warm emails that I've received when the colleagues from other dept knew I was gone. Come on, I am only an intern. Alot of them could care less, given their busy schedules & business travelling plans. Bryan, Annie, Thomas etc.

ok, this is a badly taken picture, cos I was trying as much as possible to NOT include the other stuff on my study table. As you may have guessed, my room is a mess after a week of work + sch. Uncle Teo gave me a pen that he said he didn't had use for. He said someone gave it to him in the office. Mum actually suspect that he bought it for me, but didn't want to say so. I will never know cos I don't want to ask... But he's still like a dear fatherly figure to me all the same (:

Then Gladys gave me another surprise. Maybe I shld trace back to Thurs nite. I went home for dinner and back out again to JP to pay my hp bills. While msging each other we realised that both of us are in JP. haha... she was buying this water bottle for a friend and I still helped to input some comments blah blah. That friend was me la! hahaha. Seriously gal, I dunno its for me. But really really thks, so thoughtful of you... Now when I use it in sch I'll always be reminded of you... So sweet :P

Vikkie was surprisingly very nice to give me a note & a Carebear too. We only talk at work, nothing like what I do with Gladys, KTS, Jo, Wylin & Jer etc. But since Thurs she sent me nice msgs & told me to take care and stuff.

all this just made me cant bear to leave the place more. Yet somehow I feel, I didn't leave the place at all. Cos I know I'll be keeping in touch with some of the dearest people there (:

was a very impromptu lunch at Secret Recipe, IMM. This time with a new addition to our dept, Vincent! it was so last min that we had to borrow the company pickup, with permission of cos. And lao ban was so nice to ask us to charge the meal to her. It was quite fun to ride in that rickety pickup. The doors creak & stuff... LOL.

Ok, one lasssst thing before I end this long entry. I did a damn reckless thing with Jo last night. We were walking from Cine to Far East for her hair cut, and was about to cross over to HMV side. The traffic light was flashing green... and we decided we'll go for it but quickly cos there's not much people left on the road. So we walked out on the road but within our first two steps or so the traffic light turned red. We were like, shit!!! Cos fri nite there's like so many freakin' cars on the road. And seeing the light turn red I was damn worried that the cars will just zoom across the road like some F1 race. Being a typical Taurus who is risk-adverse, I dragged Jo back, ready to head for the curb.

But Jo screamed and pull me back onto the road, 'What? Run la!!!'

OMG, then the two of us just ran across the road like some crazy primary sch girls released from the sch gates. And when we got across safely to the other side we were laughing at how silly we must have appeared to others. Or crazy maybe.

God, xiao mei makes me feel that being 21 is not so young afterall. But also thankful that I have someone around to remind me that we shld do crazy things once in a while. Let you hair down, gal...
