And I cried. No, it's not my last day at work yet, (although it's only less than 10 hours away) but because of what my CAWCGHKCBB wrote in her card to me. I read it in the office & tears just rolled down uncontrollably. My vision turned blur & so I didn't really catch the entire content of the card. Not wanting to freak my other colleagues out, I kept it away, along with the present she bought for me.
When I got home earlier, I settled down & read the card again. And, I cried again. When I opened the present, I cried even harder. Silly her forgot to remove the price tag, so I know exactly how much she spent. She even gave me a good luck angpow. Her sweetness just melts me. From strangers, we became colleagues. I was very afraid of her when I first joined the company, but somehow we grew closer along the way. And from colleagues, we became well, good friends I guess. Although she's more like sister to me. We shared like the hottest gossips in office, bitch & whine to each other but we kept a very professional relationship still when it comes to work. She's not exactly my direct supervisor, but she's till somehow part of the boss category. The fate we have with each other is indescribable. We were from the same primary & secondary school, she's same age as my brother & we live just 5 minutes away from each other.
She was one of the first few I informed when I found my new job, and she was extremely happy for me. Happier than anyone else did. And that's when I realised she will be the person I'll miss the most when I leave the company. Although everyone will say "you guys can always keep in touch even after you leave..." But trust me, the relationship will never be the same again. The distance is there, unfamiliarity grows and awkwardness looms. I admit, I'm never good at maintaining friendship. I'm always the passive one. I guess it's time for a change. I will make this friendship go on & long.
P/S: I cried for the 3rd time while writing this entry.
