Fade away..
Friday, April 20, 2007
Today's the day I left Citibank CCMU..and it has been a truly wonderful experience that I've enjoyed throughout my stay here. I've had fun, unadulterated fun that I've hardly enjoyed for a very long time here, and its all cause of all the wonderful people I've met here!

Even so, I realize that I hardly blog down my thoughts nowadays..its almost as if the happy times weren't listed down here while the sad, desperate thoughts would hover around this blog page. Its almost as if the happy times were never important enough to discuss and pen down..but I guess these memorable times were just too wonderful, penning it down would do it no justice at all..

Frankly, I couldn't have asked for a better "last day". Life was slack these weeks, had been in the ORD mood for quite some time. Was sitting at Chacha doing their accounts for the past week, being the upgraded version of a tempstaff there! Haa..yup, its really very endearing to have such responsibility hefted onto you when you're a temp! All the perms have been really nice to me, treating me to lunch for both days already! The previous night I had a gruelling time preparing each and everyone's presents all the way till 3am...and every effort was well worth it! Luckily, there was a scheduled department meeting at 4.30pm and everyone promptly left for it after Ken announcd my imminent departure with the usual voucher presentation and round of thanks. I suppose being the longest serving tempstaff really does have its benefits!

Anyways, its just the both of us left and I begun my whole round of gift-laying at every table! Passed her the presents I got for her...out of a stroke of luck, apparently the colour of the CD and her flower was bright orange - her fave colour! Haa..but of course, silly ol' me just didn't capitalize on the time left...I'm glad she didn't shy away from it like what I feared! Still..I can't make of whether the response is favourable or just a friendly gesture of thanks..but positive or neutral...at least it ain't negative! I went about my merry way giving away presents later on, and then later went on a camerawhore spree! Sadly all my pictures are stuck on the lousy camera at the moment, it doesn't have a USB cable!!! Anyways, I'm really satisfied with how the gifts turned out, how everybody's gift was given/hidden on their table! Thiam Chye's fish was still hidden until I told him about it..too bad I couldn't manage to burn him a game before I left instead..Eric seemed reallie happy with his CD-of-songs, and I hope she likes the chocs/CD I got her!

Anyways...I kinda felt pretty sad when I was bidding everyone farewell..its been a really fun 5months that I've spent here, and now these pictures will follow me as long as memories serve to remind. It's been another beautiful day, a perfect day that arrives as rarely as a blue moon. I'm satisfied with how things turned out..and I can only hope that things get better..

Thank you, everyone :)

There's a Hole in my

Sidewalk
I
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost...I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

II
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in. Its a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault. I get out immediately.

IV
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

V
I walk down another street.
