It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You Later
Two weeks fly by so quickly… In fact, it feels rather odd sitting in my room like this right now. Last week this time I was probably dining with Accenture analysts flying in from Asia Pacific. These are the new friends I’ve found during 2 weeks of Core Analyst School in Sheraton. It’s nice to know now that someone will be there for me if I visit to Japan, Korean, Taiwan, Pakistan, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia next time. Awww… I am missing them already!!!
Two weeks is indeed too short! Just when you thought you’ve bonded so well with these lovely people it’s already time to bid goodbye! I hate saying goodbye. I hate to see those teary eyes. I hate the goodbye hugs. I just can’t say goodbye without few drops of tears and just today, I had to say goodbye to my favourite friends as much as twice ! Believe me, it’s the worst feeling in the world…
At this moment, Nath might have touched down at the Thai airport. Rogan, Helga and Brooke must be sitting on the plane back to Canberra, Australia. I just love these people to bits. CAS will never be the same without them. I can never listen to Beyonce’s song and not thinking about Rogan. He is a big guy with tender heart; tough looking guy with the love of Beyonce’s shake-your-booty dance move. Nath, never failed to crack me up everytime I got him to speak english with the Thai accent. It amazes me that he still remembers the language even though he’s been away from Thailand for so many many years. Helga and Brooke, they are the only caucasians in the whole class. Helga has a sunny sunshine personality and Brooke is just too sweet to describe.
I can’t quite believe they are gone now. I can still remember we were hanging out at the longue just last night till late… and they were still with Elaine, Dyna and I couple hours ago. I can see Nath’s sad face now. He kept saying he didn’t want to go back. I can still see Helga’s teary eyes and eventually we broke down and cry a minute before the taxis took off. I can still hear Rogan singing ‘I’m leaving on the jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again…’ and I definitely still remember Brooke saying goodbye to Zara and Topshop…
So many people have touched my heart in so many different ways. I will definitely miss the Koreans especially Hee Seon. She has the fairest and the most flawless skin! She has this pleasant smile on her face. Jin Hee, my team mate she has taught me so many korean words that I can’t remember any now 
There is also Aya, the cute japanese girl who cuddled me and kept my hands warm in the club when I wasn’t feeling well and then there is Meliyana, the pretty Chinese-Dutch Indonesian and her special laugh…
Awwwwwww…
Let’s just hope one day I’ll see these special people again… as Nath said, ‘it’s not goodbye, instead see you later’.
Despite catching bad cold and lost my voice, these two weeks have been fun, very enjoyable and memorable. Definitely an experience I’ll carry with me for a long time to come. Networking? Checked! 
For the rest of the week… let’s hope I’d get pass this lousy feeling and regain my voice. It’s killing me when I can’t talk!!!!
Meanwhile…
I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY DO MISS THESE PEOPLE!
Who am I going to elbow now when Nath and Rogan are gone?!
