But during the couple of weeks i guess we kinda like clicked n all...it was nice to have her as a fren...yea... anyway when i left home at 6.10am it was like drizzling and all...so nice weather n cold too...decided to take a jacket with me...n headed down the airport by train.Took the skytrain at T2 to head down T1(she was taking Quantas)...nostalgia filled me as i walked past Times Newslink(which was the old WH SMITH)...--I rem my stint at WH SMITH during my JC holidays and the many pple that embraced me here as did Borders...I always thank them for bringing up this lil' kid over here...whom never really touched something called real life working before....nor seen how bad pple were at their worst....they brought me to the world and opened my eyes..to see things from alot of angles....and brought laughter to my work...they were a bunch i called Kaks(elder Sisters..they were all girls...im one of the few guys there) . They taught me about the politics of work...and yet...showed me how unpolitical they can be when working with me...i loved them...Fast forward to now...Borders...4months here...isn't short...but ain't long either...but still it holds as much memories and lessons as WH SMITH...if not more...the pple neverending(Turnover rate of part timers n full timers is quite high)...diff encounters diff experience...but yet...i still love them all the same..cos everyone's been so nice to me..Taufiq,Latifah,Tracy, Maya, Joyce, Geraldine to name a few..even pple whom im not tat close to asked me not to go and continue working...im really touched when i heard that...n it makes me sadder to leave..u all played a role..in this chapter..important roles..finishing this small yet significant chapter of my life in 2wks time to open a new paragraph and new chapter...but i left space in this chapter Borders...cos i noe i'll have a chance to fill more stuffs in...--Went down to the bus stop to wait for Maya..and she was late for almost 45mins...haha..and she was cursing the freaking bus....yea...tats her....well...anyway luckily Lydia's flight was delayed...and yar..managed to chat her up and have breakfast still at the T1 Changi Kopi tiam...something like Kiliney kopitiam lar... quite sad that she had to go...but well...at least its not forever...wish her the best over there...and hope her experience there would be really good and nice...and lydia..rem...only learn the good stuffs yar? the bad stuffs there would be overwhelming.....or so i hear...hahaReminds me now that Kenny my good ol' softball pal would be leaving for Austrailia too...sigh....he's really been great...one great great pal to have...spontaneous and always on the ball for fun.....i really felt blessed to have known such a great pal...and that he had to leave...was another sadness...but then again...when u gotta go..u gotta....but make sure...u'll keep in touch...and never lose the softball spirit we always have and preserved....n of cos...take care there...well...i'll make sure i'll send this good ol pal off...hopefully...with my face dry...argh...im so emo these days...freakin shit man...sucks...must be the weather...if everything else...jus blame the weather....haha yea...it works almost all the time...
