Thanks Gaurav!

When did things start changing so much that I no longer know anything? Or is it me who has changed? I really wonder.. Was I too forgiving, too tolerant in the past and now, after all that ordeal, I've finally learnt and want to be better to myself? Why is it so hard to fathom? I'm really at the crossroads of my life in terms of everything - from personal life, family, work, etc. What do I and should I really do now?Sigh... 

Anyway, Gaurav is leaving our team.. He's moving to NY and I'm sad. For a period of time, I didn't like him much. But.. He was the one who taught me stuff, who brought me to broker dinners and "showed me the world". Between him and me, we have always been brutally honest with each other. He can be bad tempered and vulgar and rude but he can also be open and generous. I've always enjoyed talking to him and having him around during broker dinners are always more fun than when he's not there. 

We had so much at the last Xmas party that I'll never forget that night.. The game we played where I dragged him along to play the game with me and we had to strip his shirt off and pics were snapped and passed around office even in London and NY office. Til this day, he still keeps talking about it and "blaming" me for making him play the game but I know all of us had fun. :)

He's the last guy on the team that I'm close to. I'm not sure what's gonna happen after he leaves us next week. Sigh.. Told him some stuff while in the cab on the way home last night. And he told me something which really touched me and made me feel that I'm gonna miss him a lot.. He said, "Maggie, you are smart, pretty and has a good heart. You can definitely work things out somehow.." The confidence he has in me is something I never knew.. And I'm touched. Seriously touched.. 

And he told me that when I was in a coma and they found out about it, they were "shitting in their pants" in office. Haha. Yes, I'm sure they were coz I've been babysitting them too much all this time. Dear Gaurav, I'm soooo gonna miss you and your nonsense when you are in NY. Thank you for teaching me so much at work, for bringing me to broker dinners, for treating me like a little sister all this time. I will always remember you and the fun we've always had as a team - You, Jacko, Charles and me. Take care! We will meet again for sure!

Rumour

Went to a club at Clarke Quay last nite called Rumour with the regulars from Instinct. The club is kinda like Dragonfly but the music is not as good, the live band and singers were also not that good. The lead singer who is supposedly the most handsome has got a whiney voice when he sings. Shudders.. Think I still prefer DF anytime, any day. Reached home at 6 and slept at 6.30am.. Tiring.. I have been pubbing and clubbing 6 nites in a row.. Think I need to cut down and relax a bit. But, drinking is a form of relaxation coz I get to talk to friends and enjoy. :p Had a chat with Mingjie (another regular at Instinct) last nite. He truly impressed me by wooing the same girl for 7 years! He knew her 10 years ago, got together for 3 years, broke up and tried wooing her back for 7 years. It's truly fascinating. I'm amazed and at the same time, envious. No guy have ever wooed me for so long.. All just want me to be their gf within days or weeks. Any longer, they give up or pressure me ...

disappointed n jer's departure...

been a little disappointed with friends.. the term 'friends'.. what does it actually mean? someone u can talk to, someone who will be there for u? how many people can do that for a long time? i'm not very sure but i used to try n keep it contact with close friends in the past. i did all i could to stay in touch n find out what's going on in their lives so that our friendship can stay strong. however, that wasn't the case. 1 fine day, i finally decided to stop taking the initiative to remain in contact with them n the result was, they didn't bother either. what happened to the friendship between us? i'm not sure. but it takes 2 hands to clap n i don't understand y i always have to be the one who makes it happen. i've lost many friends coz of that. upset.. of coz i was. i've always treasured friendships but i don't see the point of hanging on if the friendship is so 1-sided. disappointed.. i've always believed that to be friends, we have to...
