today is her last day. She has been here for exactly 2 months and 3 weeks as a temp staff.. we weren't very close at first, cause of age gap.. she's 4 yrs younger than me, btw. We talked very little and had very little contact at first thus i didn't dare give her my work.

As time flew, we realised that we have a lot in common. or rather, only one VERY IMPORTANT common topic, which is Korean wave. She's a huge HUGE HUGE fan of Korean stars.. and I, ok lah, about there. hahahahz. she joined our lunch clique cause of Theresa... anyway, that's another story altogether. hahahaz. so we lunched out everyday, and our gap started to shorten. it was Korea, Korean and Koreans everyday. I swear when i say she knows her stuff, she REALLY REALLY knows her stuff... she knows every EVERY single person by name.. and if I'm a drama freak, I'm only her 50%.. really. She started to communicate in Korean with me as I understood a little.

Slowly slowly, she looked for me when she has nothing to do... and only me. hahahaz. when someone else pass her work, she would roll her eyes and say its boring. and then she would ask me for work. And slowly slowly, she became my PA. she takes off my workload like 50%... and that helped A LOT. i could struggle this hard time. she only takes my work. hahahahaz. i feel honoured, really...

and time flies, 2 months and 3 weeks passed us by. i of course, can't bear to part with her as she shared a lot of information with me (mainly Korean songs and dramas. hahahaha), shared my workload with me, i started telling her stuff i would tell my best friend. can you imagine our bond? she's totally like my sister, and she would stick to me.... its very heartwraming.

and today, her last day. of course, we would keep in contact and stuff via social networking sites and stuff.. but i've been through this topic before.. i really dun like this feeling of parting. social networking sites can never be a good help for relationships, there's a limit on wad you can do via all these. When we passed her her present, she started crying.. and she just cried................... understandable, as its her first job and i'm sure she has nv felt this "parting" feeling before. just like me, during coffee club. that was the worst parting of my life... i totally couldn't let it go. but i learnt to in the later parts of my life...

I contributed a lot to her presents.. i treat her for Korean food, shared a presnt with my clique, shared with my team, treated her to another meal, and bought my own present for her... she was only helping me throughout, and that was only right. tml, she won't be at her usual seat, everything will still go on as per normal, we'll still work with or without her.... i thought it was hard for her to let go.. i dunno my point of writing this, but i thought that i would pen down this very mixed feelings of mine, today. i can't bear to, yet i've learnt to.

Dear lydia,

Even though i don't show it, i really really enjoyed your company.. its not the period i've known you for; its the impact you've brought in my life, and you sure made a big one. I can't be too sad in front of you, it would only make you feel worse. I hope that you would remember the time you've spent at Vital and the crap we crapped about. Hope when you reminisce about your first job, i'll be part of that small little memory and you'll smile cuz of that. Life has just started for you.. i'm sure you'll do great in the next phase of yours.

Sarang-hae,
Unnie

this scorpio has very split personality if anyone has realised. She likes super cute stuff e.g. hello kitty, pooh and a very good example, this blog skin. On the other hand, she hates to dress cutely. she uses vulgarities like occasionally but never uses it when parents are home ; loves dressing up when the occasion comes but hates the heels/dresses/skirts; loves making friends but hates socialising; plays the piano but prefers soft rock music in her mp3; loves the customer service envt but doesn't want it as her career; materialistic to a certain extent but hates the cliched designer brands; loves hanging out with friends but sometimes prefers and enjoys the solitude when alone; not really interested in finding a boyfriend but hoping to find a suitable and dependable husband; hates the cliched "wooing" but loves the sweetness in idol dramas; can get emotional at times but doesn't like too much attention and concern; can be superly active but is known to be the rain on people's parade; and the list could go on. if she doesn't talk to you, pls don't think she's unfriendly; she just doesn't want put on a pretence of knowing you well. All in all, hopefully you wouldn't hate her if you know her well enough. and if you hate her, hopefully its because you don't know her well enough.
