While i was watching the last episode of "Campus Superstar", the farewell speeches by everyone reminded me of how we always feel when it's time for us to say goodbyes to our beloved classmates before graduation or even at times when it's our last day at work. At every stage of our lives, we say goodbye to many people in our lives, of which some we still remained as friends and meet up regularly, where there are some people which just remained as part of our memories for that era and we never met one another after that. What remains in our heart were the sweet and bitter experiences we have been through together. Well, i am glad that when i looked back, most of the people i clicked with were still part of my social circles. Although for some, we only meet each other once in a blue moon, well at least we are still in contact and supporting one another in one way or other.
i guess the most memorable farewell besides my secondary times i had were with my TT colleagues. We have been through thick and thin together as a department and the chemistry we have developed during our times together was tremendous. Hardly able to find a bunch of us whom can play and work damn hard at the same time. Although sometimes we crapped a lot, that's the best part (dun u all think so). I still kept the farewell card which craved all the well wishes from everyone of u then ( and that super big pig head) when i left. Till now, i still felt very touched and shed tears when i read the messages. When i rejoined the work force, i realised i cannot find the same kind of chemistry anywhere else. At times, when i looked back, i dunno where i have gathered the courage to walk out of the comfort zone and take up another new challenge. That's one thing i am sure, i did not leave because of colleagues. For those who are still there, u may not felt the same as a few of us already left the company, but the PAT spirit continues to live on in our hearts just like the IJ spirit i cherished among my IJ friends.
watching last night final, also brought back memories of our assembly sessions in the school hall. Seeing the sea of blues in the tv monitor brings smile on my face. It's just different. The type of bonding we IJ gals have are so different from others. (",) shall talk about this some other time. hee hee
