Cheerful. Innocent. Blur. A sweet tooth.
I remember the time when she came for interview. Ah Beng (not some juvenile, but a col of mine, a Master graduate) brought her to our lab and started the "interrogation". We prepared a list of questionaire, mostly technical. Showed her around the lab and brief her on the job scope. Though not technically strong but possessed a POSITIVE attitude about learning. Naturally she got the job but we teased our col that he was just smitten with her.
She stands out in the crowd with her 1.68m tall frame and big round eyes. Caught alot of attention everywhere she goes. Had numerous anonymous emails, paging, phonecalls from strangers who wants to make friends with her. Wow, what a stunner! I thought.
No sooner, we became good friends. Sharing our workloads/ secrets/ little talks and coffee breaks. The lab seemed so much livelier with her around. She never failed to brighten up your day with her MEGAWATT
. She gets very excited easily, waving her hands frantically, while relating stories and experiences she had.
She is very independent. Coming all the way from our neighbouring country to work and study all by herself, going back home only during weekends. She is also very popular with people, often surrounded with friends regardless of race, gender, age, size, shape and what-not.
Yet, she can be soooooo blur. There was once when she literally walked into a cabinet and knocked herself hard on the head. She's an exception. She can't multi-tasks very efficiently...if she was given more than 3 instructions, she will be totally fazed.
She has a very soft side which at times was being taken advantage of. There were times when she felt stressed by work and people and broke down in
.
She is rational (at a later part) to end a relationship which she feels has no future even though the guy held a very special place in her heart. But decided to call it off for his every move, every word, every action just affects her too much. She wanted to be a much happier person hence she made that bold but firm decision. Kudos!
She is a movie-goer. Watched practically every movie that is screening but not able to name of the actors/ actresses names. She used to take 2 weeks leave in precedence of her exams, end up watching movies, meeting up with friends, shopping instead of mugging books.
One year later, she left. To go back to her hometown, to help out in the family business. It has been months since we met. We had lunch together today. Everything just seemed like yesterday. We haven't met but there wasn't a tinge of awkwardness, no silence. We are so busy updating each other of our lives, our future plans etc. She seemed busy, having to juggle between working and attending both English and Malay classes. Soon, she'll be off to KL for her full-time ACCA.
Thinner than ever, but more accomplished and happier. Not one sec of her life has been wasted.
I am sure, she will make it BIG some day.
She is unique. She is Ee Von. She is my junior in poly. Thanks for being my friend.
Ponder for the day: Believe in yourself. Have faith in yourself. Everything is possible as long you put your best foot forward, your heart into it. You will succeed.
p/s: just like you managed to clear all your five papers (accountancy) and be one of the three to be promoted to the next level for your english.
