John left Singapore. I met him at work over a year ago, maybe June 2002. He was very serious -- not someone whom will bounce around the office chatting to gals or colleagues. It was then I met these group of editors in my previous company (well we still work under the same roof)! Four men, totally different from each other.
Damien was probably my first acquaintance among them. He somehow reminds me of Dirk because of their build I guess -- very tall! Soon I had to work with some of these guys and that was how we started talking. Nick has got a scottish accent so strong I couldn't figure for weeks. Now it is okay. Simon, I was told he's the oldest of them all, he looked shy to me -- maybe his face always looks like it's blushing. Surprisingly, John was the guy who started to hang out with me & my mates after I knew him a little better over a couple of boozing sessions. They are all very sweet people, they bought me drinks the day before I set off for my first flight ever -- to London.
We had a farewell booze with John at Crazy elephant on Friday night. I was nicknamed "Kodak girl" because I was getting them in the pictures most of the time. Quite a crowd -- colleagues & friends. John used to lunch with us, now I guess I'll miss him. And my mates, I bet you gals will miss his company too!
My lil sister has so many new ideas or new stuffs to tell me all the time. She's a little light bulb -- always light up even on the brightest day. Little whizz! She was going on and on about sleepwalking yesterday.
"Sis, ya know why people sleepwalk?? That's because when people sleep, their body are in state of paralysis. And if they sleepwalk, that means their body are not paralyzed," she quoted she read it from somewhere. Then she made a mean yet funny remark about my other sister whom frequently speak in her sleep, "Now I know why 'Sis' talked in her sleep, because her mouth wasn't paralysed." We were laughing for a bit... shhhshhhh, better not let her hear it.
