Received a email fr Sis Aneja last evening; had written to her giving her some updates about some of our friends & about the preps. Though her reply was short, somehow it really touched me. It read something like this:Dear Weipei,
It's always nice to hear from you! You're always so bubbly and full of life, hadn't change much since Sec Sch days! Take care and my blessings are always with you, my dearest friend. =)
Just a couple of sentences but it really touched me & I cldn't stop thinking about her last nite. Have known her since we were 15 & the frenship just grew fr there. The crazeee sec sch days, going diff JCs, rooming together during Uni days... Most importantly, during that v difficult part of my life, she not only encouraged me, she also prayed for my mum and even aft dat, she never failed to call me constantly to check on me even though I was kinda avoiding calls fr friends. & even now, I know that I am constantly in her thoughts & prayers... how more blessed can I be? I miss the times we spent together but I am also v happy for her on the path that she has chosen to take. M also touched that so many pp r concerned abt the preps & offering their help... speci.gif)
al thanks to MangoJo & Tibetan Nun. I m such a disorganised & messy & huge procrastinator that all sorts of help are needed!!! Feel relieved to know that I have soooo many pairs of hands & legs & eyes & brains to depend on... thanks folks!!! & the 2 men in my life who has showered me w so much concern & TLC; Daddy for caring & worrying abt me & always wanting the best for me & Darling for the wonderful times spent together. 1 who has done whatever he can to give me the bestest in life & for putting that smile on my face; the other for keeping that smile on my face for a long long time... indeed I can't be more blessed!!!
Bumped into some ex sch mates of mine whilst @ Raffles City last nite. Was sup 2 meet Hwee & littlebloom but as nothing was set yet, Dar & I decided 2 go Pregos as he hadn't had his dinner yet. So happens that that grp of fren had actually asked littlebloom out as well!!! What a coincidence! Then @ Pregos, my frens met up w another JC mate of theirs; Dar saw his old cycling fren & we saw another ex sec sch mate there as well!!! So many pp @ 1 place all @ once!Adding to that, met Dar's cx's gf e other day & found out that she actually knew 1 of the tellers fr my training branch & that her colleague is 1 of my JC frenz. Also found out that Shanster actually knows my good fren's cousin (whom I also kinda know coz my sis knows him fr way back) & Shanster & her fren actually jioed my fren to go wakeboarding together before!!!It really is a small world afterall!!!
Shall not bore (or rather make everyone envious :P) of sleepy's trip in Melbourne for a while... n also because it takes a while to load the pics n sleepy is lazee so have decided to write a random post...Met up w some ex-colleagues last Fri, supposedly for celebration drinks as Tibetan Nun is finally going to embark on her "secular" life! :p Congrats ya!!! V happy for her and I am sure it will be a happier path for her like those of us who have since left the organisation. Then I found out yesterday that yet another cohort mate will be tendering soon, last day being 30th June... that's 2 in such a short period of time!!! But honestly, counting back, we joined PA in Nov 2001 (correct me if i m wrg huh... old liao...) so for those still in the organisation, it means that they are 5.5 years old!!! That's lg!!! It is actually q an interesting job where you get to meet pp of various walks of life (but who may make ur life miserable), organise events (but ur wkends will be burnt), n meeting your other peers from the other constituencies (but some maybe diff to work w). Ok ok, maybe not such an interesting job, but I guess for most of us, we started off rather enthusiastic about the job, but soon start to get disillusioned as the years went by. I see some of my more capable colleagues/friends in the organisation & sometimes wonder what they are doing there. However, I must add that it was indeed fun working on some projects. Like we had those GRC projects where we really gotta know each other n friendships were forged. Met up with another group of ex-colleagues on Sat whom we call ourselves the "SE gals". Most of us (sans Sharon... dunno how she joined us... we keep claiming it is coz we pityed her haha!), being the younger colleagues in each office @ that time, were often arrowed to work on GRC projects together. To have younger folks working together was fun as we understood how each other felt & cld bitch to each other about each office's working culture. Though we have all left the organisation (amazing hor!!!) we still keep in touch via MSN, emails and have the occasional meet-ups where we catch up on each other's life as well as the latest gossip fr PA haha. I have only 1 last thing to add "MANGOJO!!! when will it be ur turn??? :P"
Most people think that this is one of the most over-hyped days of the calenders; expensive meals which may not turn out as nice as normal days; overpriced flowers... for me, though I do agree that it is a tad overhype, it is also another day where we show appreciation to our loved ones whom we may have taken for granted the rest of the year :) Havent gotten anything for Darling for this Valentine's; did have something in mind but couldn't find anything suitable. And what with the New Year crowds, sleepy is getting tired of going shopping listening to the CNY tunes being replayed over and over again... so I shall resume my search after the hols... who knows, there may be some good deals :P Likewise, Dar has been asking me what I want, but don't really have anything I want in particular so I keep disturbing him by saying that I want another piglet stuff toy just to irritate him :P Coincidentally, when we went to Mustafa couple of days back to buy printer cartridge, I saw the baby version of my 猪仔 & 猪头!!! So cute!!! the smaller version and since I have the big 猪头 & e small 猪头, if I have the baby one it will be like "Do, Re, Me"!!! But of course, couldn't buy them lah, my bed is overcrowded as it is :P Waiting for Dar to knock off work & pick me up. Dar suddenly remembered that as he has rented his car out, we will be stuck w the van for V-Dae... how totally unromantic!!! Actually I am ok w it lah but Dar asked me 2 ask Daddy if we could borrow his car instead. I was like, "ok then Daddy can drive ur van???" :P anyways Daddy said we cld use the car 2nite... whew! Not that I mind taking the van, but prefer the car coz it is more comfy & can drive faster. :) Actually we don't really have plans tonite; just goin for dinner somewhere and then dropping by Hwee's place laters. So i get the best of both worlds; spending time w my darling and also time w my gfs :) coz V-Dae is also Frenship Dae mah and so we shd also show our appreciation for our frens :) I remember back in JC/Sec school, we would buy little gifts for our frens or write little notes to each other... Really fun!!! n I do believe I still have some of the notes written to me when I was in Sec sch :) I am a v appreciative person ok??? hehSo to all those pp whom I have crossed paths with but have lost touch, do drop me a note, I would love to get in touch w u; & to all my dear dear dear frenz... cheerz to our frenship!!! *hugz* *hugz*
