A day at the office, a day in my life


(Click on the pile of pix to see details)
Received an sms from my boss, asking me to go jogging with him and gang again tmr. I'd love to, and would have said yes. But I've already agreed to joining ct and her friends for yet another karaoke session, this time at Kbox. Hope I won't 丢脸,but, really, I've forgotten a long time ago what shy or embarassing means.

My boss, Ben, is a really strong runner. Last week, we were with CL, Lio, and Ben. We jogged at a rather good pace for around 5km. Ben's stride was shorter than mine, but he seemed to glide along effortlessly, even picking up the pace towards the end. I stepped up a gear, too, but couldn't really keep up cos I dun know how much further I was from the end point. I have this weird mental block whereby I can only sprint towards the finish line if I know how far away it is. (CT ran more than 10km from Yishun to Woodlands to join us. Frankly typing, I don't want to see her run too much cos she's losing too much weight!)

Next time, should we take the same route, I will fare better.

Today, me, my boss Ricky(yes, I have so many bosses above me, and no more men below me), LK, and Heng, were taking farewell pics with MP. It's a pity she's leaving us so soon cos she's really very goofy and cool at the same time. I've never seen her lose her cool or raise her voice, and she is always genuinely nice and friendly to everyone. Hope she'll move on to better things and that she'll stick to being her true self.

Sometimes, I feel so lost. One by one, those colleagues whom I also regard as friends had left or are leaving, moving on to greener pastures. Me? I'm still here in my "comfort zone", lacking the courage to break away from it.

But, looking on the bright side, at least I still enjoy the things I do at work and off. Running, going to ktv, catching movies, and even my struggles with part time studies, are adding much flavours to my life. I've never had so much fun since my school days, haven't been so sociable and talkative for quite a while now.

I know ct is having some trouble adjusting to all these changes. She's so used to seeing me shut myself indoor, facing the pc whole day, or go swimming alone, keeping to myself all the time, that she's understandably quite alarmed by the smses and the phone numbers of my new friends and classmates appearing in my mobile.

Tell me, how can I make her understand that she can never be replaced?
