This One Is For Vicky :)
It’s 1.52 pm Saturday afternoon. Here I am, still in my PJ, sitting on the same spot where I spend hours blogging and chatting with friends online. The classical music playing at the background soothes my nerves. I thought I had a minor hang-over after downing 2 glasses of Lychee Martini, few sips of Magarita and one sip of white wine at Alexis last night. Did I tell you how delicious Lychee Martini is?! The sweet lychee taste is just irresistable!
Oh by the way, I’m not really a drinker… I used to go by the line, ‘I don’t drink’ but now that has to change to ‘I drink occasionally’. He he… it’s a wonder how working life changes people. I was once the wide-eyed doll who didn’t drink a sip of alcohol. Now I’m going, ‘Excuse me, one more Lychee Martini please.’ Ha, speaking about the changes! After two glasses of yummy Lychee Martini, the whole world started to float. My feet became so light and I thought I was floating! Geez, I wonder what would happen next if I had another glass of Lychee Martini! Hmm, you know what, sometimes I am curious about the things I’d do if I ever get drunk… Would I do things that I wouldn’t do when sober (e.g. slapping someone in the face or picking my nose in public… Eeuuw!!!)
Ahh, the classical music… now I’m feeling posh and very royalty-like. My room is my castle and the world is my osyster. Hmmm, don’t ask me why I said that… hehehe… just a random thing that come to mind, you know? 
I think I must still be high on alcohol… hmmm…
Okay, I need to stop talking about random things. But you see, I am not good with goodbyes and it’s sad that I had to say goodbye to a friend last night. Vicky is the toughest girl (mentally) I met in my project. We joined the project on the same day and after 1.5 years she is about to spread her wing to make her mark in another country. Thinking back the first day we met it feels just like yesterday. She was in a red turtleneck smiling at me as she approached the group. I thought she was a consultant!
We’ve come to know each other more in the course of 1.5 years. She’s definitely like a sister to me. Not trying to get all sentimental and stuff but I do think that her presence in the project will be strongly missed! I, for sure will miss her. The little chats and heart to heart talk we had… She’s always there when I needed to talk to someone. People say you should count your blessing and that is exactly what I am doing. I am trully blessed to have worked with the most wonderful people in a company where competition by right, should be really stiff. Yet, this is the last thing I feel in the project.
Last night I stubbornly backed away tears in my eyes when I knew the time had come to bid goodbye to Vicky. I thought I saw her eyes glistened… For a girl who doesn’t show much emotion… I thought I just saw the softest side of her. It could just be my imagination, it could be the Lychee Martini but nonetheless it was two friends giving each other one last hug for the year. Deep down I know it was not our last goodbye. Some day, some times, our path will cross again. I am so sure that the friendship is going to lavish and grow stronger despite the distance. I now have another strong reason to travel to Down Under. 
Vicky, if you are reading this… I know you will make things happen for yourself and you don’t need me wishing you good luck. I know you will only go from strength to strength crafting your name in the future you want youself to be in. I know you will be fine and I know you and I will always be friends.
I am saying a little prayer for you. You go girl, go spread your wings and soar higher and higher now!
Now, don’t forget our Gold Coast trip! *wink* If Shearn is reading this, I am sure he will roll his eyes and start lecturing me! But until the day my little heart is claimed… I shall be on a full throttle searching for my knight in shinning armour. *GRIN*
Ermm… maybe that sounds a little too ambitious… I need hell lotta coaching in that department! hehehe…
Cheers now, to a brighter, better, banana-licious future! (ermm… I just wanted to find a third word which start with B and I couldn’t think of anything else. I know you love bananas… so there… banana-licious!!)
Au revoir mon cher ami
