title : The Social Butterfly and the confession of a Emo Couch Potato

Haha! The title was greatly inspired by Miss Neo Zhaolin's blog post. I guess I had my fair share of couch time at home, in fact too much.

Yesterday was my last day in the CSU department and first thing in the morning I was greeted by my protege Janan HOE! It was fun because we get to partner together for that day. I had to impart what I've learn in the pass months to him within 8 hours. And he's really good, but I doubt he will remember everything single thing I said.

Then, just when the clock was about to strike 5:30PM the system starts to fail and there was an uproar in the office when people were trying to log in to finish their job before weekend. The printer refuse to print and some computer started hanging. So I stood up and told them to relax, it's probably because it's my last day and the system was upset because of that. :P:P:P All of them scoffed at me and laughed. Man, am I thick skin or what? haw haw!

So after my last customer it was already 5:45PM and half of the department were already gone, knowing that I wanted to take some farewell photos, Bernie summon everyone to come back. Ha! Felt so honored, then I called for a meeting like how the manage do, everyone crowd around and I started with a small speech and some jokes then followed by my "thank you" speech. To some it was a emotional revelation for them, working so hard and finally someone sees the goodness in the individual. My most important woman, Noraini. She cried after I thank her and Li joo, Bernie. Sorry, don't mean to make you ladies cry. Then followed by all the other people in the department. It was really nice to have them stayed back till an hour just for me on a Friday. After my speech my boss told Janan, "You have a deep cup to fill boy" So, I guess I have done a great job over there. And Honestly it wasn't even expected. SO no one to thank but GOD.

School's starting next week so, Chuan and Yong had an appointment with me yesterday. It was movies and ASTONS afterwards. Well, somehow I thank God that they came to me at this time, not later or earlier, but now. We had a talk on some issue I'm facing. And I must say, they were really the one who knew me better. There wasn't any prejudice or bias state but just pure advice that were for my good. And I guess it's time I stop torturing myself with unwanted past. I guess it's time for me to stand up.

I thought something really cool on the spot that night it goes like this:

"For weeks I have yelled and pleaded to an open sea that does not reply, my heart was stitched up and broken, my soul were beaten and my spirit cast down upon the deepest valley ever to be known. God came and healed me and he came in many forms. I plead and I scream to the sea but no one seems to respond, not even the maiden I was yelling for, but suddenly a message in a bottle was washed up to the shore beneath my feet and it says we hear you shout and we hear you scream but why don't you just call on our cell phone? we were always there for you?"

And the person who sent in the message in the bottle was Chuan and Yong, and it has to be God for that to happen. Their reappearance kindda jolt me out of my sorrows and self-tormenting state of mind. I guess, that's just the way it's gonna be.

Thank you lord,

"'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street." -The Script "The man Who can't be Move"
