Thank you

I remember when I was young, my mom used to tease me, saying that I carry gold in my mouth because I hardly talk. I have to admit that I was a shy child growing up and even nowadays, I still loathe those awkward silent moments when both parties are staring at each other like idiots.

Until today, I honestly still don’t see the point of blabbing away and think that small talk, although in certain situations necessary, are sometimes absolute rubbish and a complete waste of time.

Maybe I was a hermit in my previous life and hence, the difficulty in trying to adapt to this one.

The recent happening made me realize that this recluse actually do have friends. In fact, this week was pretty hectic with all the errands, packing, farewell gatherings and lovely dinners. I have to say that I am a bit reluctant to leave my previous job because of the friendships I’ve forged with some of the people through work. You know the feeling when you first met someone and instantly, you find that person likable and both of you just clicked?

I hope that the feeling isn’t one-sided when I said that I consider these people more than just colleagues and business partners but as friends as well. You should know who you are by now.

On top of that, I’m glad that I actually managed to spend some time with my old and dear friends. It may not be as much as I’d like to but as they say, better late than never. During one of the weekends spent with them, it dawned upon me that my closest friends are the ones that I can actually sit around, say or do nothing and still feel comfortable with.

These are the people whom I don’t have to make the effort to come up with some witty remarks on days that I don’t feel like doing so – they are the ones who let me be just, well, me.

If I’ve never told you how much I cherish our friendship, I hope that now is not too late.
