One Big Family

I have this small family at work where i have all my PaPas, Uncles and Brothers. Absolutely no MaMa or Sister, i'm the only girl in my group. I've worked here for almost 10 months. This bond was formed when clinton and i joined this group and the bond became stronger when that incident hit us last yr. We shared most laughter and some tears when celine was still with us.

This week is when emperor came back from his long holidays.. the news broke on tuesday when i saw winston came in early that day. I asked him why was he so early that day, he usually comes in later or at the same time as me but that week i came in specially early to avoid scolding, that is strange. So he broke the news that he "Hippikayea". He has been saying this word since yesterday night that we didn't what it was supposed to mean. Hippikayea was a word that an actor said in a movie, during his last move before he dies..something like that. So winston is leaving us. Sad to hear this news cos i didn't expect one of them to leave so fast. He is always the one saying funny things, asking What IF questions, the one who always goes around lifting other ppl's chins. haha. Hans would bicker with him everyday. My day would be terrible without the 2 of them. Our group is the noisiest grp.. everyday talking loud, expressing our feelings. I knew he will leaving us 1 day, i know he is sick and tired of all the things we're doing but i didn't expect it to happen so fast.

This is my 1st full-time job where i see ppl close to me, is leaving us. Kinda disheartening. I tried not to think of it so much. When hans came in the office, he is probably the last to know about this. After telling him about it, silence filled the air. Hans thinks it might be the best for him actually but all of us asked if he has found a job yet, he said No. Nothing could stop him from leaving since he has made this decision even when he hasn't found a job... this shows how much he's eager to leave this place asap.

When boon fong teased me saying i am crying because he is leaving (it was meant to be a joke actually) and it turned out to be true after he completed his sentence, i've tried very hard to control my tears but it got worst. So malu.. Hans felt even sad after that. Boon fong was so embarrassed and guilty. Winston will be leaving us in 1 month's time... hai... It will be a really BIG blow for me when hans is the 2nd one to leave, please don do this so soon.. i can't take the 2nd blow. Winston, Hans and Clinton are always the ones supporting me.. There's 6 of us in the grp. Now i know how hans felt when patrick left few months ago. Patrick was in the same batch with him for 3-4 years working there. The kind of feeling is so jia lat. Everyone of my grp makes me feel that i've worked with them for 3-4 years even though it was just 10 mths. And also they make me enjoy my every day working there. Despite the heavy workload, we still enjoy talking stupid things.
