I wish friday didnt have to end so soon. Waking early to catch the train to work, arriving slightly later than the reporting time to a boss that doesnt seem to mind as long you turn up for work, asking my boss the first question of the day " do you have anything for me to do?", wracking my mind for a lunch khaki during that hour, cracking lame jokes and talking about random stuffs with my colleagues in between the boring afternoons- rushing datelines and stuffs like that, doing errands as the 'courier' - up and down the 2 floors with zeal ( well, that depends on who I'm going look for, haha) , begging for work when there is simply nothing to do as well as opportunities to OT, getting to know everyone and people of my concern and always being stuffed with food to eat. That quite sums up my 4 mths plus at the firm, maybe partial cause there's just too many things to talk about if you ask me.

It started normal and all but when afternoon came, the mood seemed different. I felt sad yet excited cause Im closing a chapter of my life and starting another of it soon. Everyone told me not to work so hard cause it was my last day but being the 'perfectionist' I am, I finished up my work nicely - nothing was left undone ( except for 2 piles of unfortunate ones that I cant help with). I guess it was the training I had gone through since secondary school days, being the prefect and all that, like in whatever you do, you gotta give your best kinda shit? Haha. I guess I did hold on to that principle although some a**es think Im crazy. I mean like what's the harm? It does help when you go for the next job interview, doesnt it? The previous employer has good comments about your working attitude. That looks damn good on a resume.

Its been a fruitful 4 mths plus of work. New discoveries, New people, New working styles, New understanding, New relationships - all great :)

Every single individual I met has had an impact in certain areas of my life. Im grateful, truly I am cause they were there when I had my ups-and-downs and down-and-out days. I mean its like of all people you expect, they were the ones who actually reached out. I was touched, definitely. Some offered advices, some offered a listening ear, some offered to cheer me up and even the smallest of all gestures just touches me. The emotion felt behind my masked facade was gratitude and more gratitute. Especially my boss, although she doesnt say much, her actions are all heart-felt and I appreciate having her as my mentor. It was a far contrast to how she was like and my impression of her on my first day at the firm. I was terrorised!

There's also many issues that were raised and it set me thinking alot more than how I usual would be doing. Things that I've not come across and many other issues that I have not consider or rather my plans for the next 5 years. Its stirring man! hehe.

Another mentor that I had was this guy. I was able to click with him despite the huge age gap and I must say, he's really fun to talk to. Why he's a mentor to me? All the conversations we had, he's always encouraging me and giving advices to my studies, life and even my working life in the future. I guess I've never really had people who's tons older than me and we could click. Amazing, totally.

There's many sweet people whom I appreciate them - their smiles. Who will like someone who doesnt smile? I really cant tolerate especially when you are sorta 'recognise-able' after being at the same place for mths? I have to learn from this espisode : Not everyone's friendly and all smiley-smiley like me. Sometimes being overly friendly gets people into trouble. I guess you just have to use it discreetly then.

The most essential thing I take away with me : Life's unteachable lessons about Humans
Sounds pretty cheesy but that's the way it is or rather it was about.

Invaluable advices and first-hand testimonals are things that I doubt I'll ever hear it again for the next 3 years, might come in handy someday. ;)

Glad that they were part of my life for the last 4 mths plus - THANK YOU PEEPS!

On the lighter note, School's starting soon. I dont exactly look forward or am being excited about it, probably cause Im still used to the working life. This week is precious for tuning myself back to my studying routine. Hopefully if everything works out, maybe I'll try to help them back on a PT basis.

Lately I'm getting more and more ridiculous on the kind of guys I would want to date and probably going to have as an ideal other half. Im quite traumatised at my ownself's insistence on dating a lawyer ( I must be screwed up somewhere in my head ). Sounds contrary but TRUE. Maybe I need some real loving.


*Updates on the RLM thingy : I think he was checking me out today. lol. -trying to sound bimbo about it-
BLEAHS.
