while everyone is in bed…
i am surprised that i am still awake. a rarity these days especially when i am usually too knackered from work. and each night, i collapse in sheer exhaustion. my mind is not willing though my body could hold up. it just shuts down and i doze off into slumber land in secs. and i hardly could even turn on my laptop, or that i turn it on but collapse before it boots up. it’s been 2 days and i have been lunching at my desk with short 10 mins gobble-up-my-lunch-stunt since the departure of my lunch buddy. partly due to the sheer amount of work that i am rushing…

life is so fragile.
my mum just called and somehow, looking at the time.. the first thing that came to my mind was.. did something bad happen? and my worry was more for her. don’t ask me how i know, i just had the sudden feeling it was bad news. well, she was a sobbing mess and she managed to say that my grand aunt just passed away and that i have to attend the funeral in msia over the weekend and on monday. i just checked with HR and i am NOT entitled to compassionate leave (because she’s aunt, not ma), and oh wells, i texted my boss and applied for annual leave…

my farewell book
i chanced upon it when i was doing a little spring clean yesterday. decided to take some pictures and share. i guess no one really had a chance to see the entire book except me, because it was completed just minutes before i had to run (to the airport) on my last day of work in ph.

Pictures of my last day
finally have a bit of time to myself this week. since the return from melbourne, i have been really tired.. and so, i finally looked at the pictures taken on my last day with my colleagues. unfortunately, many of the pictures of me came out blur (using my dslr).. errrmm.. i am presuming it’s because its too hi-tech for my colleagues to use. hee. and so, here’s the pictures. the sad thing is not the entire team was around. it was a busy week and a lot of them had to be out of the office. still… the last memories of 6.2.3.5.3.5.3.5. errmm.. that’s not me. it’s a life size…

Up in the air.
[typed on the plane journey from sing to bkk] I am penning this down at thousands of feet high up in the air. Usually, I will be really happy going on a trip, filled with excitement, but I am not feeling like that now. Started reading the scrap book that Soo Leng made for me after I boarded the plane. It was a simple but very pretty thing. Although there aren’t many pictures (I held hostages of them), but it’s so nicely done up and I’m so impressed! Kinda funny going through it as it reveals my little milestones in the company. My first birthday celebrations… the retreats and the…

Goodbye moriji!
Moriji is this orange toy that i bought 1.5years back or more to cheer myself up at work. It’s huge smile and bright colors make me feel cheery when i look it it. When ade came on board and was seated beside me, moriji was asked to be placed on the panel between us because ade like moriji so much! More so, moriji saved her from the thoughts of burning her desk or shredding all the paper on her desk. Haha. Ade always say she’ll shred everything on her desk to ease her workload.. Cos no evidence will be left. And when she moved from the administrator role to the…

this email cracks me up on a friday night. // Greetings to my wonderful partners-in-crime last year, It’s time that one of the partners-in-crime has decided to turn straight and leave us… hence, I need to organise a farewell dinner to have a blast of a time, and enjoy the fun times together (though i am pretty sure it won’t be the LAST!) and of course, GET A FREE DINNER TREAT! (joking lah!) We will have to start missing our partner after the 12 May…… So, to all the invitees in the list… may i have the honour to propose the following dates for a possible meet up? 1. 4th…

goodbye uncle
at about 2pm this afternoon.. wei’s dad departed this world. i saw the man whom treated me like family each time he sees me, always making sure that i have eaten or should eat more drifting slowly away from me and the rest of his family.. his blood pressure dipped all the way to 30+, and is long brain dead due to the lack of oxygen.. till the moment the heart finally gave way. everyone crumbled.. me included. there were more than 50 people crowding around the icu.. there were more tears than words.. i didn’t know how to describe the feeling.. all i could do was hold wei and…

speechless.
i think SHE is super insensitive. as usual, i had my lunch in my pantry. cooked korean instant noodles topped off with succulent prawns, leafy vegetables, some pork and an egg. just when im busy preparing my fare, i got a call from wei. he told me our friend Patrick (more of his friend than mine actually) jumped off his flat this morning. no one seemed to know what is wrong. his colleague remarked that it might be due to stress. he stayed on the 21st level. just weeks back, he had just passed his driving license and was talking abt buying a car. my poor wei is crushed. i…

the treat for fred
meant to post this on friday night, but my lids were heavy and alcohol’s not making it better. didnt get to post it yesterday either cos i din have enough time to finish the collage and pen my thoughts. so it’s here now, way due. dinner at tony roma. the laughter we had, so infectious. and my stomach actually cramped from the laughing and the full stomach. i hardly laugh to tears, but this gang of people never fail to make me feel that way. i’m gonna miss all the “or-ah-beh-ah-somp” days man. drinks at bistro 21. bala was packed this other place selling german beer (cant rem the name)…
