Dedicated Especially For My Friend, HuiFen

HuiFen, I am so shocked to hear about what happened to you. At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. But as I read on, all the messages that your friends left for you on FB, and after confirmation from a mutual friend, I cried. Although it had been years since we last met, I still remembered vividly the times when we would go home together during school days. I would even dropped by your house and it so happened that you were in the same primary school as my cousin since you all lived in the same area.

After "O" levels, we didn't really keep in touch but fate brought us together when I made a visit to NewAsiaBar where you were working back then. Though we still didn't get to meet up, but we managed to keep in contact through emails and networks.

To hear that you had left us, I feel very sad. I still couldn't believe that you were gone. You had such a bright future ahead of you, a vibrant life full of hopes and dreams. May your soul rest in peace, you'll always be missed and remembered fondly.

Goodbye My Friends

Today is a very sad and disheartening day, in the midst of the bleak economy, 3 of my fellow workers were given the golden handshake. This is one of the cost-cutting measures (though I feel it is rather drastic) but in times like these, it is inevitable. Despite numerous warnings about cost-cutting, it never crossed my mind that we will need to "r" peeps.
Perhaps, I had been through it (but current employer did it alot more civil than my previous) and I can't help but feel sad.

Now that I looked back, it was a blessing in disguise to be "axe" back then than now when the market situation is really really really at its very worst. As hopeless as the situations may seem, I know that I am in good hands, hands of GOD.

Two Zero Zero Nine

Happy New Year!!
