its not the end...

it was really an emotional day today... its the last day of work for my closest confidant!

had been planning and preparing for her farewell since the day she tendered. besides the initial sense of loss, i thought it wouldn't be that difficult to handle her departure since we have became great friends and i will definitely continue to see her. unfortunately, my tears were not as controlled as i planned!

the thought of not seeing her almost everyday from now on only hit me a couple of days back... once the news of her resignation was more known to everyone, a few concern colleagues were asking me how i will feel if she left. even my boss asked me if i am affected by her departure during my appraisal! it was all these questions from everyone that got me thinking more deeply into the impact of her leaving... no one else will be able to replace the chemistry we had in the past 4 years and 7 months. too much memories of my stay in KFC is linked to her. from the moment i started working on her farewell scrapbook, i have been having recollection of the past, which were all great memories! also had a video made for her, which obviously was the tear-jerking moment today.

well, i have to learn to work without a great buddy just behind me to give me strength when i needed it most, to cheer me on when my morale is low and lift me up when i am feeling down! but hey... it is not the first time i lost a close colleague, so i will survive! besides like what we agreed... its not the end, we are still going to be great friends (unless she forgets me!!!!!haha)

so... wishing you all the best in your new job... take care of yourself without me around (haha... me so thick-skinned, just to make me feel important in your life)
