Endings and Beginnings
As some of you know, I am currently between jobs. I left the job that I was working in for past three and a half years slightly over a week ago. It wasn't a hard decision to move on, so I thought at that time but after a week, I realised how much the people I worked with everyday for so long had become a part of my life. My ex-neighbour at work predicted I would cry on my last day. Yes, for those of you who never knew, I can actually be quite a crybaby at times. But no I didn't cry on my last day, I did my crying on the day I resigned. So I was done with that.
As much as I am looking forward to a new beginning, I feel sad about the part of me I would leave behind. The friends I made, the silly conversations and the fustrations. Maybe CP and LJ are heaving sighs of relief now that I am gone from their team. Ha ha ha. But I would like the both of them to know I really learnt alot from them these past few years.
And just as important are the friendships I have made. To HS, FC, ST, JM and GL for helping me inprove my mandarin and dialect abilities. The entertaining gossip sessions and crazy karaoke outings. To HW who was so nice about being the butt of our jokes and GC who always shared his snacks and knowledge with me.

They will probably miss your boisterous personality.
Never imagined you as a crybaby though! :) Aww.
I'm starting work tomorrow!

That quote from Emily Dickinson is lovely.
