and so..

today was my last day at work..

i tot i would tear but i did not.. maybe that's cos monday i still need to terp (interpret) in court..

but the past week was sad.. with every announcement given (about my leaving), people were sad and i felt even worse knowing that i was the reason for their sadness..

but like what my boss say, they should be happy for me as i am moving on to a greener path..

well.. sighs.

the new interpreter has started work this week and i had did all the necessary handover..

cleared my drawers and ended up with 4 big bags of stuff.. today another 2 bags..

but still, my table is full of stuff.. i never remove the pin ups, neither did i clear the stationery..

but i took everything that is personal to me:









all these that used to be hanged at my desk, now all in a big bubble envelope..

and oh my clock where i listened to class 95 everyday.. =)

the stuff were all pinned up behind the PC as u can see from this pic.. and my clock on top of the CPU.. =)

still, the desk look full.. i guess its cos i never remove the calendar, and files and well, all other information that are pinned up..

well.. maybe deep inside my heart, i am hoping that this isnt true.. that maybe i am staying, but i am not..

had a talk with my ando.. was nice.. my last talk with him in his office.. =)

received gifts from interpreter subcommittee members and colleagues:











i especially like what is being written here:

you can always count on true friends.

they help you weather every storm, they cheer you up when you are down, and they chide you when you are wrong.

sometimes you get so preoccupied with life's mundane troubles that you do not find the timeto tell your friends how much they mean to you.

if you have not already expressed yourself, do so now.

such moments seal the bond of friendship forever.

and i realised that's me, too busy with life's mundane troubles.. and i hereby apologise for it..


i still love you, my friends.. those i trust completely, those i don meet as often but still miss, those that are so far away from me that internet is the only way of communication..

i love you all. =)





now that i am sitting here, i am still trying to convince myself that this is the end (leaving of the job)..

and i realised, it has been an interesting year from 2008 to 2009..

• i lost a r/s i thought i would never lose..
• i got a job i never tot that i would be in..
• i lost friends i tot are for life..
• i gained new friends that i never tot i would have.. from work and outside..
• i have put myself in confusion in things and situations i tot i would never landed up in..
• i got enlightened in conversations i tot was superficial..

its really interesting to me.. alot of changes.. changes i never tot of..

i never expect my life to become roller coaster..

if more than a year ago, u were to ask me, how will my life be in a year's time, i would have said, got engaged, applying for flat and getting married..

maybe a stable job in the government sector or hospital..

that's it.

being an interpreter, involved in Deaf community, being single again, losing old friends and gaining new ones? not a chance!

but i did..

and to tell the truth, i am glad for the changes.. it made me a clearer person.. =)

not necessarily a happier person, but i learnt to be more independent..

all in all, i hope this change (change of job) will be beneficial..

i forsee a busier me but maybe, a more satisified me too..

which is good.

i hope for you, the reader, will become a more satisfied person in the coming year and treasure your friends, those who are really true to you are hard to come by.

once lost, it's forever..........................
