i know it's very late now but i'm really so happy tonight.. it's been so long i've been out so late w a friend for a really good chat. Though it's not a spiritual bonding but it's a good social bonding - just 2 of us.
i received a surprise last night when i log on. my ex-colleague from taiwan is in town for today's meeting and will be flying back on tues morning. How happy i am to receive them in singapore. Not becos i'm from hotel industry, not becos they really regarded me as good friend and family during my stay in taiwan, but cos i really miss them!
i have always envy my current colleagues who always have appointments with their ex-colleagues, for show or dinner.. my ex-colleagues, i mean, those i really connect to and share my fateful 1-week of 'tough' orientation are all in taiwan. I really made a lot of good friends during my orientation week, and during my employment with the taiwan company. U may ask me how about the colleagues who worked with me in Singapore office? Well, Vincent and Kevin returned to taiwan..and Vence is in USA now. As for those who are still in Singapore office, they are really busy n to be honest, i dun 'click' with them very well.
It's really amazing how my trips to taiwan had been so blessed - with all good friends such as Aries,Kai,Albert,Joanne,Nero,Belinda and not forgetting my big sister Jacq and big brother Eli. how they took care of me, going the extra mile of making me feel at home whenever i return to taiwan..Taiwan is practically my 2nd home,if u know how many times i return to taiwan and how long i stayed there..just feel so much at home. taiwan has always been my 'refuge place' cos i know i have my good friends there who'll understand and even open up their homes for me to stay.
Anyway, back to the surprise - Albert is in town! he just arrived in singapore, checked into his hotel room, logged into MSN when I logged in. For a while, i really don't know who is this Albert who is so happy to see me online. Never expect him to be IN singapore without telling me beforehand..it's a last-minute biz trip to attend a meeting with client. And here he is!
I met up with him-so happy to meet him! we talked about everything under teh sky, abt those days, about Kai and Joanne, abt the company now and abt his newly-wed life..before he asked me abt my love life. I shared, i joked and he encouraged me with his own life. I mean, he's really a brother to me. Though his character is not as strong as Kai and the rest, but he's so gentle and u know he really cares from his heart. Both of us are quite alike in our thinking n views so I really had a lot of fun and laughter chatting with him. (really miss the times when kai,albert,joanne and me spent crazy weekends together, how we can argued with one another in the car yet we are back together in crazy fun once we alight the car..we practically spent most of our weekdays evenings together having dinner and going back to work at 10pm..those were the days) they really made every of my taiwan trips so memorable!
i actually thought of returning to my 2nd home..esp i'm 'better' now and should be able to cope with the 4hrs flight alone. but..i dun want B to mistake i'm returning cos of GQ. Though i've not been contacting GQ,but is there a need to create this 'misunderstanding' now? ... or will B ever care??
I miss you all, my taiwan colleagues! i know u guys have been calling,emailing and even sms me to go over, i really feel very loved by your long-distance friendship..hope to meet u guys again soon.. i miss u!
