It's the long weekends! YIPPY :) and it is national day.

Quite a demoralizing week where i saw many people tendering and sadly including the two closest people on my team. one was my buddy on job, providing much relief and moral support. another was my senior, to me the best senior i had for the year. yet i was happy for them looking at the joy that shine on their faces.

recently we had a mini gathering with some ex-collegues. that night, i couldn't sleep. i recalled the 3 days a year ago where all of us gathered in melaka, freshly introduced and all energized then. I recalled those as one of our best days since we knew each other. vividly, i recalled that morning before we came back where all 13 of us sat at 2 joint tables enjoying bak kut teh. we talked, we laughed and we thought about our fate a year on. looking back, it always seem amazing how quickly a year has passed. Out of that 13, a couple have left and a few are leaving. perhaps i have yet to get use to departure as a part and parcel of life. but looking at those who left, i marvel at how pretty these ladies are and how amazing their companionships are.

*smilez* deep in thoughts. i think i have a better sense of direction in life after a year in audit and let that be my motivation going forward each day each step.
