the last day of 2005
Date check: 31 Dec 2005.
The last day of 2005.
Am not going to write abt my reflections of 2005 and resolutions for 2006 today, for there is something more important to do.
That is: to thank my dear friends and wish them well.
Had my reservations for writing this piece, cos close friends will know I am not the type to express my gratitude with words. To me, it seems awkward to write “flowery phrases” of how I feel abt each individuals. That’s is why the comments I wrote on the greetings cards are rather general…
不善于用言语表达,那就用行动表达.
That’s why I chose to make cards & other small gifts for my friends.
Why the change this year?
I dun see it as a change, it is just a small step forward I am taking. So dun expect much from this piece ok? I won't be listing down my friends full names, you(‘ll) know who you are.
Shall now start off with
My Old Friend (u know who you are):
If I’m not wrong, I remember you wishing me well on yr blog last year. Thanks for that ya. Thanks for not revealing my blog even to the closest person in yr life now, even to that extent that it caused a quarrel between you two. Thanks for asking for my permission before revealing my blog address, though it made feel guilty that yr consideration for an old friend would caused such misunderstanding.
Frankly speaking, we communicate better this year, don’t you think so? We are able to talk to each other abt our love ones, the past , without any awkward feelings. 感觉上, 真的好象是个老朋友. Glad that we remain friends.
Wishing you a smooth year ahead in all areas of yr life in the coming year. Remember yr promise to give me a big ang pow on my wedding dinner, but still I think you will get married before me and I promise that you will get an ang pow from me too, hahaha .
To
Fannie, my dear friend for 9 years. Wow, next year is going to be our “10th anniversary” . Times really flies then. Was really touched when you showed me yr special photo albums which include the photos of us taken during our “orbit looking” years.
不过, 你现在已经变成了个大美人了.应该感到高兴嘛!
There’s one thing which I had not told you: after all these years, though it seems that I had make more friends, but you are the one whom I have the same “frequency” with. Even when I had not been updating you abt my life during the period when I am busy with my stuff, you are still able to speak on the same wavelength when we meet up. You know there’s our special “tao huay talks”…..
Seems that you had been through quite a few ordeals this year. 很难想象, 瘦小的你, 竟然背负那么多重担 ( I sounded exaggerating hor). 可是,你总算苦进干来. I wish you well in yr love life (hahaha) and hope you can find a job which you like.
To my
ex-colleagues cum friends; Thanks for including me in your gatherings, for remembering to save a seat for me for free movie previews. Thanks for your presents given on my farewell, my birthday and on Chirstmas. $210 Isetan vouchers from you all this year! That’s quite an amount huh! Thanks for continuing being my supplier for magazines. keke
Really missed those kee-siao days I had with you all at work. I missed Dr Lowem calling me “ Weeeeng xxxxxx xxxxxx” early in the morning before she head to the canteen for breakfast. I missed the Ah Shui~s calling me Ah Shui. I missed the common table where we shared our snacks. I hope I din turn suay-ku now for I dunno what’s is hot in the market as I a unable to see what are the stuff you all had bought back after your sourcing trips.
Well.. I dunno how many of you will still be working there by end of next year… but still I wish you all retain the “kee-siao ness” in you while working hard to meet the datelines. Life is boring without you all.
To
“W” , thanks for putting up with my “kee siao ness” and “kee siao” with me for the past few months. I would not have become “Mrs Li SJ” without yr skills. Really appreciate all the help you had given, especially during my bday gathering preparations. You made such a good coordinator.
And you really proved the saying of “ A friend in need is a friend indeed!” (you know what I mean).
I hope that you will be able to find a job with good pay and benefits, should you decided to quit yr job in 2006. And, I hope you are able to "cure" yr problem and not 沉迷下去. (u know what I am referring to).
To my
gor , thanks for all the advise given to this 小妹 of yours this year, and for all these years. 有时跟你讲话, 你却crap 得想让我吐血, 但是, 认真时,却会搬出一堆 “人生大道理”。
Wish that you would obtain a perfect cap score again for yr last semester of studies。 希望你毕业后能大展鸿图。
To the other
“三大太太” ： thanks for bearing with this 李太太ya。
林太； 2005 seems to be not a good year for you in yr love life。 Treat them as life lessons ba。 也许，经过这些事后， 你学会不再轻易动情。Hope you will not experience any heartbreak again。
王太：thanks for allowing me to ka-jiao you when I am bored at work。 每次都会配合我， 但这样做，是不是有点纵容我， 使我“越陷越深”？ keke。
Ok ok， serious now。 Thanks for being a great listening ear when I need one。
Hmmm what to wish for you leh？ Wish that you will win the top prize in the coming competitions and hope that 你能跟王先生有近距离的接触。 哈哈哈， 那时你最想要的吧。
金城太：（ or should I say “former Tao tai”）The world is such a small place， 真没想到你会认识我另一位朋友。 从你身上， 我学习到一些“哲学”， 像那句“不说是个遗憾， 说了至少有个答案”（是这样写的吗？）。If not for you who commented that I should voiced out my anger， I think now， I would had bottled everything up and explode one day。
你说过别人跑一步， 你就得跑三步才能跟上。 我想我也是如此吧。 那就祝你在2006年里能跟上他人， 然后与他们“平起平坐”。
To the
TXYs I had remain in contact with ， thanks for all the help given 。 （I always say “ thanks for the help”， seems that I have lots of 贵人）。 HY and XY， you may not be reading this， but I really appreciate tat you are so willing to be my photographer whenever I need。 Big cow and Xiao di， thanks for your free of charge performance in Aug， haha。
Thanks Yoyo and AL for the “sacrifice”, I am so sorry that the “frozen dance” with remains in most of my friends’ minds.
To the ladies whom I often meet for tea sessions， glad that you all will spare some time despite your busy schedules。Glad that we are still able to keep in contact after all these years。 Hey， I will be calling for another session soon。
To qium， thanks for being a great helping hand and the encouragements given。
May you have a smooth year ahead and I am waiting for yr red bomb in a few yrs time。
To
JQ ； Surprised？ How could I not thank you for providing all those valuable info。Not to mention the time u had spent in uploading， sending those stuff to me。 Looking forward to see you next year。
To
“SL” ： Well， I think you are not reading this now， I will be really surprise if you do。 But who knows， as you took me by surprise recently。Should I decide to let you read this blog of mine one day， just wanna let you know， I am glad that we are in contact again。
To those
friends whom I had missed out ， it is not that you are of any less importance。 Just that I dun have time to write out everything。 I do remembered the advise you had given， the jokes we shared。 Thanks for all the great memories you had given me in 2005。
Hope we have a good year ahead in 2006！
