* Dedicated to Karen*
Well..Karen's last day today and 3 mins ago she has left..left this lab 4ever. It was so upsetting to see her leave, see her pack up her stuffs and left. If she had stayed on any longer both of us would have ended in tears..it's amazing how colleagues would become such an essential part of your life, and knowing well that she won't be here sharing the daily events with me anymore actually felt quite devastating. I hate departures. I hate pple leaving me..i hate saying goodbyes. It's always sentimental. It's always upsetting.
Boss was supposed to get her a farewell gift but he was too busy he 4got..that's him. Anyway i was bestowed this holy job of getting her a farewell gift/gifts last nite. WEiping rang karen's bf up (the guy i replaced ) and found out wat she wanted. And a card holder from braun buffel and a precious moments figurine. I went to braun buffel shop at mandarin hotel., with yicai in berms n slippers..very nice..checked out their stuffs with a dedicated staff attending to us. Found this very nice series of wallets n card holders and lord n behold it's so cheap cos it's promo prize !! I loved it so much and i know it will suit her, got it and i feel like going back to get a wallet for myself. So nice! Precious moments in wisma was unfortunately closed down n i didn't know until i went there n realised gasp! it's no longer there!Decided to check out perlini silvers and found this very nice necklace, pretty simple with a few hearts hanging down but it's very elegant and it cost like 70+. And of cos i loved it lar..haha i never buy anything that i do not like for other pple. Karen loved it too! I gez i know her taste well enuff =) i'm pleased.
She happened to mention to mi that she's into all the seashell necklace these days but haven't got one..the new guy in my lab was sweet enuff to make her a very nice photo album with our whole lab photo attached in front and papers within the album to write our blessings for her. I don have a flair for such artistic stuffs..the most i could do i make a necklace or earrings for her..so i went to HV after work, the beads shop there and got a very nice seashell pendant lined with silver, very nice and picked black n marron strap for her and made them into a simple necklace. I'm glad she likes it..bcos she likes simple stuffs not too loud..but not too simple u see.
I gez we all have to grow up. Facing changes and farewells are one of those things that we have to encounter in life. I wish her all the best. I wished we would b colleagues for a much longer time but it wasn't meant to be. I hope she would be happie =) Can't u tell i'm very attached to her..haha she's like my nanny :p
Now i feel like leaving lab early bcos at 520 i'm the onli person ard. Karen has left. The new guy, huida has left..sighz..
