Counting down..

3 days more. That's the time I have in Delloyd. I've found many good people here, along with the bad ones of course. But the good ones, are more prominent than the bad ones. I actually felt sad, to leave them behind.

One colleague asked me today, just before off work.

"What kind of place will you be staying after this?"
"I will rent a room, not the whole house. Why?" I'm curious to know why she asked in the first place.
"Nothing. If you are staying in terrace houses, make sure you don't sleep on the floor." She answered.
I was thinking, what the hell does that mean?? Then she continued, "You have problems with your back, you shouldn't sleep on the floor. You will feel pain and it will get worse. If it's double storey, tell the owner you have to take the room upstairs."

At the moment, I felt so grateful for knowing such person. Knowing that I've been to doctor for me back pain, she actually cares for me and giving me advice to take care of my health when I'm away, alone in the city. The feeling of joy and happiness is really an understatement. How could someone I barely know care for me that much? Now I'm already missing them so much.

I even got a little booklet, bearing signatures and greetings from some of my colleagues. Simple, but I was really touched when they presented me the booklet. It's definitely something that I will treasure.

3 more days, and I will be leaving them altogether. I hope all the best for you guys, you have been really kind to me. Thanks for looking over my shoulder all this while. Thanks.

I can feel tears building up in my eyes now. Really amazing fellas here.. can't believe that we still have good people like them in this cold world.

Road back home -A marriage of accounting, planning, and acting skills

What a jovial mood i'm in. Nothing particular exciting but just felt good, at least until now. Gonna go back home later on a 2 1/2 hours of bus travel... Sigh... Just realized that I've been travelling back home like this for years. During my uni days (hah, sound like it's been so long!), i couldn't afford to travel back home every weekends/month. Too far away and the only transport available is airplane. So, I went back twice or a year, sometimes during holidays, sometimes during term break. Remembering back then, we students are really good in calculating the lowest expenditures to go back home.. Many of us had actually mastered all the required skills (accounting and planning skills) and can easily passed off as travel agents or accountants. We even mastered our acting skills especially to the staffs in airlines booking agency and airports ( it's due to the fact that we are almost certain to bring overweight luggage every time we stepped on an airplane).. The who...

My funny friend and I

It's funny how it all started. We hated, or perhaps in a better definition, "dislike" each other when we first met. Both of my closest friends were someone that wasn't pleasant having around at first. Probably i'm the one who need to be blamed for not trusting people easily. This particular friend of mine was my schoolmate* in uni (*noted that school here refers to School of Psychology and Social Work, not secondary school/high school/primary school). We heard about each other, we disliked each other, but in a very unexpected way, we became friends after attending a same class in our 2nd year! (God have it's own reason i guess..) She was not in my course by she took on of the subject in my course as an elective. And after the IVAC ( Inter-University AIDS Conference) 2004, we became even closer. Closer than any of my coursemates whom I've accustomed with their presence in my uni life for 2 years. I was really skeptical at first. How can a person trust some...

Face-o-lo-gy

One night, my Ah Yee (My Aunt, mum's sister) said to me: "Ah Ling ah, your nose is big and fleshy. It indicates that you will be having a good life in the future." Literally means that I will earn big bucks in the future. Yay! Money come money come... "But your nostrils can see the sky (whatever it means) , it means you are like me! Earn big and spend big. But no worries, you won't get poor." Haha, so I can spend whatever I want from now on?? "You have a round face, lots of bak (means meat or flesh in Hokkien), indicates that you will get early recognition from your boss. Hmm, not bad." Yeah, not bad huh. Should tell my boss and ask for a raise soon! " Your eyebrows are quite nice. Dark and long. It means you will get a good husband in the future. But... wait , where did u get this scar?? Haiya, its not that good la like that. But again the scar not that big, shouldn't be a problem la I think. Hm.." So is it good or not??! How come ...
