So I am back at work in SG.
The same stinky feeling of dread crept in when I set foot into the store this morning. Good times REALLY dun last and I hope it will not be long before my next trip outta here.
Still, I am glad to be home.
I missed my mum, (her), buddies and bed. Nothing beats the familiar smell of my sheets and my beloved pillow caressing my aching neck. 12 days of sleep in a foreign bed took it's toil on my ageing body, I woke up with a nagging backache and sore neck everyday. But then, work in Starhill is like 5 mins walk away from the hotel. Discounting the same spread for breakfast everyday and some irritating characters, this KL trip had been largely enjoyable compared to last year.
I caught up with old frens and met new ones. The hospitality and warmth extended to me from the Omega mates...the familiar banterings and nonsensical antics failed to remind me that it was actually a year ago we last met. Everything looks the same, everyone is still how I last saw them. In a matter of hours, I eased right into their lifes and we worked and played as if I have never been away. I really appreciate the entire majority of the Omega pals for making this stay such a fun-filled one! (Thanx peeps!)
I met Jeslin again, it's nice to see her after a year. It felt more 'proper' calling her a bud now. Prior to this, we only met once and chatted mostly on MSN. So many ppl started asking me about her after I posted her pics on FB...damnz! 1. No, we DUN fancy each other. 2. We are good frens 3. She is single 4. No! I won't pass YOU her contacts.
I befriended this young talented boy, Aaron, while manning the booth in Starhill. He was the pianist for the VIP lounge and my! He has got amazingly quick fingers and a great repertoire of songs! His improvisations for those famous melodies are very jazz-inspired, and there is so much soul in his tinkerings. The maturity in his renditions really belittles his tender age of 20. And he makes playing piano sexy~. But wait till you read his blog; this boy is seriously expressive! The manner he structures his thoughts and articulate them into words, gives so much visuals to his views and emotions. He is a wonderful writer, a multi-instrumentalist and a charismatic budding composer. If he is to make it BIG one day, you hear it from me first! Such talents, such potential for greatness...keep it going! Aaron boy! I am already a fan!
A special mention to Abang Azmi, who care and treated me like family. He is always ever-ready to help. He proves that real friendship supersedes race, religion and nationality. Let's see if I can join him in March for the Tioman trip!
Halfway thru this post, I actually dozed off alit and lost sense of what I was writing. So...there u go, this is my working life in SG. *yawnnnnn* Another hour to go. Till then.
