The Sentimental Girl who Appreciates

With great anticipation and joy in my heart, I lift up my head to set off to work in STK for the very last time. The journey forth was long but when I come across each seats, memories came pouring into my heart. I stood in awe to visualize the familiar faces; I saw Apple, Ashley, Kebbie and Shirley. Diagonally down those seats, I saw this blur image. I know is a young man and I blinked my eyes to focus at the seat once more, I saw it was my newly found friend, Ivan. I shifted my direction out to the surrounding, I smelled of that morning dews and the cozy warm air that’s provided by God. I knew I had taken the journey to work for granted.

Stepping out of the train and down the escalator, I saw numerous busy man and woman fighting against the time, and for once out of that three months, I was excluded. For that moment, I stood outside the MRT station to allow memories to hold me once again. I recalled the “era” when I waited for my friends as they approach down the escalator. From there I turned my face and head on towards work.

The joy was broken when I have to leave aside my beloved camera-phone and MP3 at the first guard house. I vividly remember that fierce policeman, who confronted me on my first day with regards to all the belongings that I own, and he told me to surrender. Obediently I obeyed and objectively I hope that a little sacrifice could bring me a better reward in my stay with STK. I was very wrong! For all I know, it seems like a prison where I’m out of the world. Through the second guard house, the sociable security guard often warms my heart before my work starts.

The stairs up to the office always made me gulp of air so fast. The bell that hits the ring of an forthcoming person always allow me to feel honored with regards to the person who will open that door to welcome me. Across that big room, I saw the working side of everyone; work no play! To my tiny office with 16 people, where there’s a toilet, water-cooler and fridge, it just seems I was hook to a four-cell walls. I have a desktop of my own with NO Internet and gazing through, I saw only Dreamweaver, Cold Fusion, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Access, Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Excel.

For all the breaks that I had, nothing could beat the last. DaJi, I would like to thank you for always there as my partner in the morning for breakfast. I thank you for easing that loneliness within me. Thank you. It went on normally until it was the time to really bid goodbye. I said goodbye to everyone I knew and my supervisor shook my hand and wish me all the best in my future. I took hold of my bag and I walked out the tiny room I mentioned with no looking back. Memories and feelings grabbed me from behind as I walked pass each unit. The mixed feelings of moving out were tough, the thoughts of leaving were pain and the steps ahead were heavy. For that once, I know I can’t turn back the time that I have had allow it to pass through me. My only regret when I left the place was that I have not know you well enough and I hope there will be opportunities out there for us to seize and become closer friends. It will be my last wish that all my friendships made in STK will stop after I left STK.

All in all, I would like to thank every one of you that had made my stay in STK memorable and I am really blessed to have each and everyone to paint that different stroke of color in my life journey. I could not express any much better than to have the two simplest words from the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU!

God
I never understand why I was posted to STK in the beginning, especially so when it’s so far away from home. Now, I know why because I could learn to appreciate people for who they are and to thank God for each and everyone of them. It was here that I saw His great love and power! Father God I thank You for everything that had happened in the past three months and I really thank You for each and every one of them. Lord I thank You that I am in a higher lever about surrendering.

Supervisor (Mr. Chua Hock Soon)
He is someone that I will never thank enough for in my stay in STK. He provides me with all the work that I have to do to occupy me. He was the man that I go to when I needed to head back to school or back home when I am not well. He was the only one that I could bargain with and still compromise with all that I want. Above all, he gave me all the space to be comfortable on and had made my working days heart aching and enjoyable. I will miss those days when I could disturb him and take him as a friend more than a supervisor. I believe I wasn’t your ideal IA student who will do all the wondrous work for you but I have the courage to say, I am one of the best IA student who dares to work seriously and play playfully. Work will never come to an end and as I look back, I am thankful that besides completing the entire task assigned, I still could stretch out time to just cheer you on and put that smile on your face. Thank you for everything and if I could I would love to give you that hug to signify I value you as much as my four other buddies. Thank you for everything, nothing could value these time than these words now, THANK YOU!

Ashley
How should I ever express my gratitude to you? I know I may have not spent most of my time with you but all the time I spend with you were really memorable. I thank you for being there at any moments of the day. I know you will hear me out with whatever I want to say. I thank you for everything that you have had provided for me through the past three months. You are indeed really special in my eyes.

Kor Kor (Self-claimed)
It was only on the second last week when I got to know more about you and it was from there when we started chatting about nothing. It was really great to have known you and it was really bold on your side to mention that I can call you Kor Kor. Everything was on the right path when Friendster was the communication method between us. I thank you that out of your busy schedule you still reply me. Thank you for being my very first self-claimed Kor Kor and makes me just like a small litter sister in your presence. I will miss you and I hope we will really meet up one of this day! You must promise me, your Mei Mei. I wish you all the best in your future with many promotion and pay increment coming your way. Lastly, may you always stay young.

Apple
I love to be with you because you are always so real and ready to just be yourself. I know the one that I know is surely the one that’s within you. You have made all my gloomy days so sweet and lovely. I thank you for your smile that brightens my day in STK. I believe my best gift through the past three months was not to be able to complete the attachment but to have you walked with me through my attachment. I will miss you and all you jokes and laughter.

Kebbie
You are the one whom I shared about everything, from Home to Church and to Work. I know you hear me out in everything and you take good care of me when I was unwell. My beloved friend nothing can beats your love that was lavish on me. I am really touched by all your little actions through the past three months. I thank you for all that was put in by you because you showed me the Love of God through the heart not the mouth. I really pray that God will bless you through the days ahead as you anticipate on Him.

Shirley
The most precious and unique girl within the group, you are just so special in your own. I love to stand with you in your position to view life in a very different angle and to be optimistic about it. I really enjoy the smile that so real from your face and through your quietness, I really enjoyed a lot about my stay in STK. I would really miss those times when I had chats with you and how you impacted my life just as it is. I wish that as you move on in life, you will have a chance to brunt many others’ lives too.

Andrew
Thank you for being so understanding when I shared with you my struggles with regards to “HAHAHA”. (You know) You were always so willing to listen and to give your 5cents worth of advises. Nothing was more valuable than your listening ears through the time when I was so affected. I thank you for sharing from a young man’s perspective and walked me through those darkest weeks in STK. You are one great friend full of nonsense but still I believe you are someone who has a fabulous future. Entrust your life back to HIM who makes that differences in you and never walk back to where you want you think you can hold on! God loves you always so go for your best in life and soar for the right goal.

DaJi
Thank you for everything in the past three months. I would sincerely like to thank you for everything and every help that you have had provided for me, especially so when I was still new to the company. I thank you for your hospitality and for all the moments when you listen to all that I have to grin and complain about “you know”! Thank you. Leaving all my gratitude I have to apologies too. I didn’t mean to avoid you in anyway, but it really hurts to hear all the rumors and it can be quite unpleasant to the ears as it spread far. Worst of all, you went on and play along! I know I may have had reacted in a childish way, but sorry I was left with no choice. I just want that rumors to stop in someway. Well everything is over; I will no longer pursue it. I hereby wish you all the best in your future and surely may you get your ideal job upon graduation.

Ivan
It seems like it was yesterday when we first met but it was felt as if it was years since we know each other. You are a very comfortable friend whom I can talk practically everything to. I thank you for all the chats that we had and from the bottom of your heart I thank you for giving me that space to be who I am. I was real before you and it was exciting to share with you. Thank you for being my newfound friend. I expect you to enjoy your stay in STK and I wish you all success in your future endeavor.

Benjamin aka Ben
I may have not known you well enough or even have a chance to let you bang my life the way you could, but still I would love to thank you for being my friend from a far. I have heard about you and what amazed me was that though you may be small, you could still soar for the best in life. I really wish to have an opportunity to get to know you more as a friend and how you will not let the sky fall on you and not be affected by it. You are really special and I thank you for allowing me to view your life in those quiet moments and be inspired through it all. I can’t have touched your life the same way of which you have had impacted mine.

Hui Ching
I sort of regretted for not spending much time with you while I was in STK. Yet in any case, I know you are really a wonderful friend to own. I enjoyed your company all the times, especially so viewing you from far. You are so lively and spontaneous through the days and certainly your smile and laughter will be brought with me through the different stages of my life. Life ahead may not be as easy as was thought but I believed you will have a chance to rise up like eagles. Fight for your best in life and go for the joy and fulfillment that will bring you to the gate of happiness always. I will you all the best in to you in everything that you are going to lay your hands on.

Zhi Xiang
Is this the young man who is often high by himself? You are practical and genuine, outgoing and humorous. I miss the time when you will laugh at your own jokes and to inspire many others to join you. Do not let what was weak in you to pull you down but to let your weakness become that strong point that motivates others. I believe you can do well and soar high with all that you planned about. Do not let anything hinder you but stay focus and be blessed with bright vast future before you.

Yi Bei
You are someone who showed the brotherly love. Though I may not know you well enough to thank you for all that you have done but still I am thankful for all that you have done as a friend’s friend. I heard about you and I am really pleased to call you that gentlemen. I am really thankful for all you have shared in those quiet ways of yours and I believe you are a man who has a vibrant future. Young man, give yourself a chance to accept as true your future is in great awakening and with no regrets as you walked the path you chose.

Jia Yi
I believe it was on the very last day of mine in STK that we talked! I would just like you to understand that I do your admire your effort and your hard work in doing something. Many often when I see you, you are always busy with work that never seems to end, yet in you, I never seen tat grouching look nor even heard about you whining about work. It is really remarkable to have known someone who is always ready to do and go those extra miles. My deepest wish for you is that you will bring these virtues with you wherever you go and may success be on your journey.

Gary
The big boss is here. You gave me that comfort feelings in your presence as a young (never grow up) sister. You are so real and so thoughtful in very ways so I would really love to thank you for all the effort that you have put to make everything easily and possible. You are great being just you yourself. I thank you for being so muddleheaded most of the times. Still in everyway you are strong in your perspective. You showed me that nothing is impossible if we dare to try. Gary, thank you for being so “cool” a person and I really enjoyed you and your presence. Big brother, success in on your way!

If I am thankful for one thing
I know that this is true;
I'm thankful God has blessed me
With such a friend as you.He has given to my life
Blessings I cannot explain
For I am least deserving
And yet His love remains.

Still He saw fit to send you,
When He knew I needed a friend;
He set our paths so they would cross,
On a journey with no end.
So, I am thankful in this life,
For blessings tried and true.
But most of all I am thankful,
That God sent a friend like you.

In a perfect match of true selection,
One that never ever, faces rejection,
At least not to my own recollection,
Are often people with much affection?

They shine like sun I surely swear,
And make you feel like a millionaire,
For a special person yes I do declare,
Nothing in the world can ever compare.

For words alone to surely explain,
The way that special people in hearts reign,
While never even seem to complain,
And helping you in life to surely attain.

It’s also sincerely of real signification
Special people are worthy, of salutation
Always show gratitude your true adoration
With thanks like this, and gratification.
