Swee, The Bestie.

Today marks the first day of official workday at workplace
after being away from Shanghai for a week. 
At the same time, it marks the last day of work with my bestie colleague, Shannen. 

Reminiscing back those days with her really makes it tough to accept that in my future working days, there won't be her around anymore. 

Still remember the first day when I came to work, I was supposed to report to her. She wasn't the first person I talked to at work, but she was the first person I adored at work.

People who don't know her well may think she is not sociable, may classify her as unapproachable and unfriendly.  But like a woman, she needs some dote, care, concern and understanding. 
If you know her well, you wouldn't despise her for being not spontaneous.
If you know her well, you would realize her beauty more than anything else.
And if you know her well, you would know that she don't easily mix around with people, and she don't easily treat you as her best friend when she don't at all trust you. 

Days when she was a mentor, she taught me the many things I wouldn't have known.
She made me realize that I was not so retarded afterall and I could learn well in her hands. 

From a mentor, she became more than just a colleague.
We shared the many burdens be it work or personal.
We talked everything under the sun, like we were more than a century buddy. 

Held back my tears while she bid goodbye to us, hugged her and felt real heavy at heart.
As much as I couldn't bear to see her leave, as much as I got to get used to days without her physically around, I got to accept the fact that, this is life. 

Life is cruel.
Life never once spares a thought for the human beings who have blood running in them, resulting in the mixed of feelings.
Life makes decisions on its own and forced the human beings to just sit, shut up and accept it.

More to come, more to go.
What else can we do or say?
Once again, this is life.

Whatever it is, below is my heartfelt words for my bestie.

Dear Swee,

It has been a pleasure working with you for the past 1 year plus. This may seemed short, but it feels like I have already known you for a very long long time. 

Thank you for your guidance ever since the first day I stepped into the company. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have learnt so much and survived till today.
Thank you for always listening to my grievances, sharing my happiness and unhappiness.
Thank you for treating me like a bestie and sharing with me the so many things that you wouldn't choose to have shared with others.
And Thank you for just being who you are.
You may be a little too saddist, too emo, too not spontaneous at times, but to me, I converted all those flaws to beauty instead because a true friend never find faults, but accept the way you are and see your beauty from there. 

I will really miss those days when we go extra miles just to tabao our lunch, those days when we walked to Mac or the prata shop to have lunch. The weather may be scorching hot and we will all be perspiring like some mad dog, and the distance may seemed a way too far but with your companion, everything just become a blessing in disguise. Not to mention those days when we will walk home together after work, you accompanying me to the market to buy my biscuits and coffee packs. Still remember our shopping together at tampines where we had Subway together, those little notes I prepared for you at times and some little gifts to cheer you on, those overseas trips we went together and shopped like nobody's business, those thoughts of gifts from you whenever you head for a trip even if it was to be a short one. So many many more to mention. 

Just want you to know that you're really important to me and I hope that you will become someone happier somewhere else, doing something that you adore, having nicer colleagues out there but don't ever get me replaced okay! 

Take good care of yourself and little swee and I look forward to your housewarming and seeing little swee!

Have a great honeymoon trip to Europe and don't miss me too much, else I will keep sneezing!

Last but not least, stay in contact, meet me often and may you succeed in your future endeavor. 

Here I end my relationship with you as a colleague. You will no longer be my colleague. Welcome to your newly created status, Ah Shi's newfound best friend, Sweeswee(: 

Love,
Dollier Ah Shi.

Swee's Last Day At Work

Our Last Day together at work
"Friends Are The Family You Don't Directly Have,
 The Status Is Only Earned When You Know They Are More Than Just An Ordinary Friend." 


I mentioned that she was my mentor, my colleague, my friend, my bestie, my sis.
Truth is, she has always been a family of mine.
Others may come along but no one can ever replaced her in my heart.
I Love You Swee.
