Just b4 i left Macau, i finally met up with wei young and since i had lunch with some ladies that day, i met him for dinner instead & caught "Wanted" which was all so exaggerating.. and Angelina Jolie didn't have that much to do in the show... After which, i left for Macau over the weekend...
Back from Macau... It was a pretty boring place.. just full of casinos and uncles playing...
Then again, i was glad for the break from work and time to just chill n relax.. Except for the fact that i'm pretty sick of Chinese food now coz we eat chinese restaurant food EVERY DAY, LUNCH & DINNER.... haha..
Well no complaints.... the reason i even went was to keep my parents company.. since i'll be going away for a long time come end july... just spend some time with them...
Once i came back, it was crazy busy at work.. with all the last min handover i had to do... goodness.. i didn't even have much time to nua or rot like my other colleagues who have tendered... their last few days were a breeze.. Luckily the weekend came quickly.. I had to teach then went for trainin as usual on sat.. came home after that and met up with him for late dinner @ Keppel Bay Prive... such a lovely place! and i wasn't even aware of its presence till now.. We were supposed to catch Sex & the City but it was too late so we decided to just chill out there... n i had 2 martinis.. *HIGH...
So ended up catchin Sex & the City on Sunday.. (FINALLY).. i really loved the show.. the story and how it reflects women's thoughts... it was great! and the day just ended all too soon.. :)
Monday came and i was in zombie mode the moment i entered office.. taking longer than usual to look at things and to try to remember every single detail in my head... i was startin to miss everyone.. Anyways, somehow we arranged for an afternoon off on tuesday to all go out for lunch & to sentosa for beach volley.. for my farewell.. which touched me totally...
So tuesday came.. first off, there was a bear at my table and it was from dear constance n siew lan.. such dearies... Tap 1 turned on when i went to thank constance and we hugged.. Then i went down to find siew lan... she turned on my tap 2... coz she started seeing"RED"... went back up to gather my stuff and stopped to chat with Big boss Wee Boon for awhile... then went for meeting... then did my exit interview with boss.. cleared my desk.. it was all just so saddenin...
And so, i took boss' car to vivocity mussel guys for lunch.. Attach folks came soooooo late!!! coz they went queensway to get my volleyball! haha, it was a long lunch n we had a guest.. this ex hp guy who joined us... n lunch was tough for both of us..
Left off for the beach and the sun was out, everythin was good.. had a good game and i got thrown into the sea after everything... n eventually.. everyone got wet.. =) how sweet...
Just when i thought i was gonna head back to office, boss suddenly just stopped us for a round of beer.. a quick one, he said... 2 jugs n some finger food came.. finished.. and another round... finished.. and another n another.. i was already pretty much high by then.. and the last round, i had to drink half of whatever everyone had left (basically a full glass) and "da" till the last drop...... that really made me totally gone case... When the last glass came, i was sad that i'm officially out of HP there n then... i toasted to everyone and when asked for last words, i didn't know what to say and got a little emotional..
it was fine.. until i saw my uncles' eyes gettin red... now that's somethin u dont see everyday or that i would have expected.. what with them actin macho or man n all... i was so touched that all hell broke lose... and the dam just broke,unable to contain all the water.. hahaha, my two most loved oness, kent & chong yeow... gave me a hug, makin me uncontrollable... we finally left & went to the train station where we parted ways.. before that, they all signed on the volleyball.. seein that, my emotions were overwhelmin at that time (mixed effect with the beer).. A one last hug to my 2 darlings and subsequently everyone... One last look at the tears streamin down their cheeks, i can only try my best to register that image in my mind.. and my heart just wrenched... thinkin back, i realised just how much my presence in the company meant to them.. since they are usually the bo chup kind... i was just sad beyond words...
All the way back to office in boss' car, i dont know what to say except thank you... i was wasted & had puffy eyes, basically looked like shit.. came back to shower and found more gifts on my table which made me feel even worse... WY came to help me pick up my stuff..
After i showered, the last thing i needed to do was to bid my final final final farewell to siew lan.. found her at the courts... gave her one big & long hug.. it was all i could do... seein her break down got to me as well.. coz she's the macho kind... ya know.. imagine 40 & single & Absolutely strong... well, i was startin to miss her...
thank goodness for the pillar of strength beside me to help me with my stuff n all coz i was very much disoriented by then.. thanks to the beer.. think i had 1 plus.. close to 2 jugs.. =
i was so tired by then n just glad to leave the workplace coz i was so emotionally drained and too much tears in a day... it was just so drama...
i really didn't have much appetite for dinner n got some panadol so that i can better enjoy Hancock.. It was nice.. will smith always is nice.. and GV GOLD is SHIOK... haha, with blanket provided, totally conducive for sleepin.. =P
After that we went to Klee @ Portsdown road for a quick drink & to check out the place, its lovely... and finally i came home... Thanks for your help...
My boss said we've never had such an emotional farewell b4 and i guess i just got really attached to the boys... lookin at the collage they made for me all framed up and the card with all the touchin words, my tap managed to work just one more time and then i had a conversation that at least put a smile on my face and stopped all the sobbin...
Today is the first day i'm off from work.. accompanied my mum to the banks and brought her to eat good lunch... simpe and well rested... but i'm startin to miss my guys already n i was kinda hurt when kent said he doesn't wanna meet up over the weekend coz he doesn't wanna be sad!! =( guess i'll give him sometime to get over it.. as boss said that office is different today.. unusually quiet...
I love you guys for everything you've done for me for the last 1 year n 9 months, up until the last second of my last day... and i really appreciate it... i miss you guys already! The most i can do now is to remember you guys, keep in touch and pray that all goes well for work... =
Emo Nemo.. Peace out...
