Delight in simple things!

Apparently Google has bought over blogger. And so the new interface of blogger is falling in line with Google+ and GoogleMail and all other Google apps… It feels floaty to me. Clean and sleek, but like no base.

Life's been a little bit different for the past few weeks, and as I adjust into my working world, taking on yet another perspective and outlook towards work, I'm feeling pain all over again.

Each day is really unique, and I just have to accept the fast pace of life, knowing that things will never be the same the next day, no matter how I want it to remain. Friendship, treatment to one another, love, character…

It's just the matter of fact in life.

And as the days grow closer to another farewell of a colleague, I realized how much I've actually been so reliant on my dear colleagues, that without them, I don't think I would have survived at work. I must really thank God for giving me such understanding and patient bosses and colleagues, that I can freely express myself…

Too much freedom in fact.

And that was one of the things which weighed terribly on me. I confided in so many friends, in Christ and senior people. And truly I have much to reflect on. It's not easy being a kid, and neither is it easy being a growing kid.

8 months into my full time job. 16 months into this company.

Time flies…

And the person who has walked with me through most of my steps in this company, is leaving for another branch…I'm happy for him :) In a way it is a promotion.

But as time draws nearer for him to leave, I realized how much I've walked this company journey with him being my angel, always keeping a lookout for me, and understanding the pains that I am going through. Even better than the one in my previous post.

Guess it takes one incident to wake a person up to see things clearer from another point of view.

In all areas that I've struggled, I only look towards someone else for comfort. But in actual fact he's there through most of the things.

Sadly, I woke up too late from this little dream I used to have. And now that I want to make things right and better, it's time for him to leave…

He's the first person that I met when I stepped into the office for my interview. He's the one whom I had dinner with so many times when we OT. He's the one who kept me company when I needed to OT while being left behind by the boss to do stuff which I didn't have to…He's the one who taught me technical matters when I couldn't solve. He's the one who stayed out with me, comforting me of the unfairness of life and work. He's the one who taught me so many facts of life. He's the one who would send me home when it's late. He's the one who would advise me on how I should grow up in this working world. He's the one who teaches me how to appreciate good food. He's the one who showed me why we are survivors.

So many times I take him for granted. So many times I overlook him. So many times he is overshadowed by the goodness of the other person when he actually is better looking on hindsight.

The past 2 weeks have been really happy and fun, keeping company almost everyday at lunch and dinner. But I've realized how painful it is to know that we won't be able to have lunch nor dinner nor supper together anymore from next week onwards…

He said he may be back in Singapore soon. Or maybe he won't even go. Or maybe he would just go back to China for a while and return again…Or maybe just bring me over to China.

Maybe…

Maybe I think too much…

Good men are hard to find and I'm just not fortunate enough to own them...
