Birthday, Farewells, Quit And Future

Okay, me, 27th year old past 6 days ! Feel a little bit older but wiser..: ) I worked on that day ( actually, from 6.30 am until 23.00pm), had a surprise birthday party from others EO team, a post card from Ken and Henry ( plus phone call ), e- card from Mats and phone calls from friends. Great, isn't ? What did I wish ? nothing more than my near future..: )

So anyway, I have started saying good bye to EO friends, Ricky, Abdul, Stefan, Elly, Agnes, Jenny O, Shanti and boyfriend, Oumar, Lina and co-workers. Dinners come along with all those goodbyes ( hopefully I won't put on weights, too much to handle ). And I just came back from having big dinner at Japanese restaurant " Kikugawa " but was disappointed with its quality.

Finally, today was my last day at work. I cleaned up my messy desk and drawers, files and saving important files. Haven't said goodbye to Mr Kwok as I didn't see him today, planed to make a call, but didn't do so as I think I might go back next week for a little finishing.

You see, I am pretty busy at this moment, full-booked until next week, perhaps even until the night i'm about to leave. Planning to have dim sum tomorrow's morning with family, then perhaps lunch with Abdul, Ricky and friends. Then, on monday will go to spa with my sis and on tuesday will go with Ua and Indra to buy JR Pass and do some last shoppings. On Wednesday, will go to do the last hair treatment and dinner with Lily and Mery then on thursday will go with Lina for last meal ( still have no plan for friday, guess will just stay at home and do some packings as I am leaving on saturday's morning )

Me and Ua will travel Japan from Hokkaido to Kyushu, 2 weeks to explore some old and new places ( on a very tight budget ). There are some people I would like to meet very much. There're Henry and Ken, Yamashita san ( how nice he is, asking me to stay at his home and even asked me to join him going to Japan sea for crabs, but I can't make it, too bad ), and Satoko san. I would like to meet again with Hideki and Kaoru ( and their daughter, Rika ) but not sure yet if they're still in Osaka. On 22nd, Ua will go back here and I will continue my journey to NYC ( confirmed on 26th of dec ), spend some leisure times for the first few days before starting to get a real life and stop having fun for a while.

A few months before, I had a fear feeling that I might not suitable for a big and cruel place like New York City because I am not used to be someone else' subordinate ( it's totally different with when I was in ramen ya san in Japan, it was more fun than work ). Perhaps I 'm spoiled, all the facilities I can get here easily, and suddenly things will be so far different. But now, thinking back again, I think it's gonna be more like one's life experience that will make you grow wiser and wiser and teach you on live differently. I like new challenge, I like new places and meeting new people, so maybe things won't turn out so bad, right ?

Japan, Quit, and New Face

Yes Yes Yes ! I’ve got the visa ! Oh yeah, next month me and Ua will visit Japan…let’s say two weeks exploring Japan ! Most of the places we will visit are not new to me, but I am very very looking forward to visit Hokkaido ! If I can make it, then I can say that I’ve been to 4 large islands of Japan ! ( well of course, except for Okinawa ). Honestly, the other reason is I’d like to touch the powder snows of Hokkaido. Hah !

Since I got the visa, I had to tell my boss that I have to leave soon. It wasn’t easy at all. I was feeling awkward ( and half guilty ) but finally I said it out. You see, this month is my last month and somehow I feel it so fast and somehow I feel not ready. But I feel it right about my decision.

Today, Abdul visited me at my office. We talked for a while before he had to pick up her wife. He said that he is envy me because I still can do whatever I want. No boundaries. If it’s not for the family’s business, he’d not marry that soon. It seems like his wife isn’t a business person but a good house-wife which makes him feels like she doesn’t have the readiness to help him in his business. Well…I think in a marriage, lots of things happen. You just know someone better. Still, I think marriage is a very a difficult thing.

One more news, I got my hair colored ! Yeah ! it’s short, it’s colored, it’s cool ! Hahaha…: ) I like it soooo…

First Times

That was the first time I cried seeing one couple vowed under oath that they’re going to love and care for each other for the rest of their lives until death do them part. I didn’t know what happened to me, didn’t know why I should cry on stranger’s wedding. I don’t think one should make a pure vow like that if one can not see one’s future. Perhaps that is because I never really believe in a true marriage or a true love. Anyway, that happened on last week’s wedding I worked on.

You know, for the first time since I started to join in, I liked that groom pretty much..:- ) he’s got the face that I really love! I mean not that kind of handsome, but something about his face that attracted me. But I was glad I took part in his wedding and of course I wished him happiness ( what else ? I barely know this guy, just liked his attractive face after all )

And for the first time I rejected one guy’s feeling through sms. This guy wrote to me last week : “our relationship is boring” ( I was shocked because .. gosh, since when we ever had a relationship??? ) He is the same person who asked me to go to his house and meet with his family ( I had no idea how could he had the feeling that I was his girlfriend ) He is the same person who has no guts to tell me his feeling and had to sms it to my mobile. I’d not appreciate it at all! ( frankly, I wouldn’t know what to do if he told me face to face, I’d be freaked out ) I didn’t reply back that day until today coz my colleague using my mobile wrote to him and when he wrote back “ if you want to know me better, we should meet up more often “ . You know, I couldn’t let this misunderstanding keep going on, so I wrote back to explain that I just want to be friends with him.

Meanwhile, me and Ua went to apply for Japan’s visa last Monday and we will know the answer next Monday. It’s a 10 months plan, 10 months of waiting so whatever it is, we don’t care that much anymore. It’s usually not my character waiting for so long to do one thing…let’s just see…
