It’s the second week of work tomorrow. And honestly, I’m still not used to waking up early in the morning and getting back home only in the evening. I don’t think I’ll get used to it anytime soon. I still miss school a lot; the flexibility of time, breaks and most importantly, the people whom I love.

The first three days of work were quite a torture. Reading is one of the things I dislike most, but sadly I was tasked to read on some stuffs which I had already knew as a form of refresher. I can’t believe I survived those three days. Moreover, I was alone most of the time; there’s no one seated around me.

And just when I thought that things would go on that way, things started to pick up a little after getting a call from my favourite friend on Thursday afternoon! He must be my lucky star! One of my colleagues asked me to join them for the afternoon break and I got to know them a little better.

Then, on Friday, I was given a project to work on. I know it’s going to be a little different. In fact, it’s very different. I’m no longer working on a project with my favourite friend.

I know I have to compromise a little at times. I know I have to express my ideas clearly. I know I have to say what I wish to say and disagree on things with I don’t approve on. And I know I shouldn’t cry anymore.

You wouldn’t be there to give in to me. You wouldn’t be there to remind me of things I have to be aware of when working with people. You wouldn’t be there anymore.

Second week of work, without you, but with all the advices you had given me. It’s going to be tough, I know.

Two years back when I last dropped by for a visit, the thank-you gift that I had gotten for her was still on her desk. The puzzles in that box were left un-pieced. I thought that she never like the gift.

Three years after the gift was given, we met up again for a simple lunch. She finally had the puzzle pieced together; only after two years since the day that puzzle was given. She never knew that the completed puzzle held a hidden message; my thank you message for her. I hope that the puzzle did warm her heart a little amidst her busy workload on the day the puzzles were pieced.

She said that the completed puzzle is now placed on her magnetic cupboard. As simple as it may seems, it did warm my heart. She likes the gift after all! I did meet up with my course director a day ago too. Nice people that I’m grateful to eternally, really. :)

And, my favourite friend called me today, twice! Yays. He did mention that perhaps we could work on a project. Okay, that shall serve as a form of motivation for me to read up on the codes.

Oh, and I did a check on my final semester results! Second Lower Honours, it’s confirmed! I’m glad that he managed to get A for two of his modules too! He totally deserves them! :)

Whee, two great Fridays in a row! Huimei is a happy girl! :)
