Wow.

So half a year, it has been.
Today, a really good friend left for good. It really was bittersweet. On one hand, I'm happy to see her leave to find that awesome job she's looking for. That may potentially (finally) allow her to find happiness. I also hope she finds Mr Right. But on the other, well, let's just say I'm someone who appreciates the actual presence of people really special to me.

This friend, has a really big heart. And more importantly, I guess, is very genuine, which is a trait that is becoming increasingly hard to find in people these days. Her sincerity was always reflected in the many things she'd always do for people, in simple things like baking. And the many dinners she cooked for people, she never complained.

Ok whatever so you can tell my brain isn't really coordinating with my fingers because my sentences are just not coming out right. I feel like I don't even know how to string a sentence properly. But work tomorrow will be so different without you. Tomorrow is Friday, which is your usual day with the two of us. And Saturday...don't even mention. I'll definitely miss our chill out "pak wu ying" times on Sats and having genuine heart to heart conversations with you. And your caramelized onions with mushroom and avocado which you whip up for me everytime I say I'm hungry. And your avocado wrapped smoked salmon. And your deep fried chicken ribs..that you had to go to the market for, at 6ish in the morning just before coming to work. See what I mean by being genuine? A normal human being would actually quite like to sleep in and won't be stuffed about making the detour. And the many honey lemon drinks you automatically make everytime I mention "throat itchy/throat dry". And the many birthday cakes you baked with tender loving care for the past two years, I just realized you baked one last year and two this year (pandan and green tea).

The list goes on, Maisy. I know you're not dying (like you always say), but you know, leaving this place is bad enough. Looking forward to mid Jan and meanwhile, enjoy your time with Mum and life before making your millions.

By the way, the sky is still crying. It's about 9.05pm now, you should have touched down in the land of your second home already.

Congrats again on successfully completing your 5 years of undergrad and for never ever needing to study or write a paper ever again. Always knew you would make it through despite the many self-doubting times you've had.

Tonight could have been the usual movie night, finishing Time Travellers Wife because it's really bad weather outside now. :(
