Lee Mei's Departure...

Lee Mei left for Berlin, Germany today to start on her new job. It is kind of sad to see her walk through the departure gate alone, leaving her family and friends behind to pursue her career.

One part of me is proud of her because it is not everyday you have the courage to walk out of Singapore to pursue something. Another part of me is filled with envy, cause she is going Europe, for whatever damn sake and not some ulu or backward country.

But, i guess, the dominant feeling is still a tinge of sadness. I mean, i know her since i was 15 or 16 and has worked with her for at least 3 to 4 years. No doubt, there are times we have conflicts but most of the time is filled with happy memories. It is a joy working with her for Kenshus or outings and she always never fail to touch me with her overflowing compassion.

Right now, i just want to wish her bon voyage and that she will adapt quickly to the new environment, which i know she will. Just don't bring back a German husband. Haha
