Gratefulness

Whoo it's been too long since I wrote, my laziness is amazing >< I've never got time to finish writing about my tw trip, hopefully I can share another time! Been working for the past 2.5 months and I swear, working sucks my soul away that when I get home, I just knocked out. And the work was quite mundane, so I found myself counting down to my last day. But on the last day of work, something happened that made me feel so touched that I thought that I should pen this down.

Okay, so at my company (or particularly my office), it is quite common for temporary staffs to come and go, so I understand that the permanent staffs working there would not put in the extra effort to get to know the temp staffs. At first I wasn't used to this kind of "cold" enivronment haha, but I got better and I know that they're all actually nice people. So on my last day, I naturally thought I'll go as quietly as I had come, just doing my work as usual until the time comes for me to knock off. Since I interacted most with the perm staff that I was directly under, I decided to leave some chocolates on her table. Then, as I was silently doing my work, my manager quietly came beside my desk and passed me  red packet. I was like :o. And then she thanked me. I was like, I don't think I've done that much to deserve this, or rather, I didn't know she thought so much of me. At that moment, I was super super touched, and felt bad that I didn't have anything in return. When it was time for me to leave, I was a little disappointed that the perm staff wasn't around cos I wanted to hand the chocolates personally to her. But I saw her at the lockers when I came out! Turns out she was waiting for me to pass me the gift that she and another perm staff shared to buy. The second time that I was touched that day. Two times in a row, and seriously my heart can't take it. She was like," don't need to feel bad for accepting this, you really did a lot for us." TT So while I thought they didn't care about temp staffs, they actually thought so much of us. I was really damn grateful for this.

Actually being grateful was always somewhere on my mind, and it usually surfaces when I'm doing nothing and just stoning. For instance, I'm really grateful that my parents are fully supportive of my reading my master's overseas, even though I'm not under a scholarship and they need to fund me. And all my friends, who made time to plan and meet up with me, and showering me with gifts when they don't need to, hey I'll only be gone for a year! Hahaha. But I'll take everyone's blessings with me, and do my best when I get to london!When I thought this day would never come, it has become time for me to fly tomorrow. Hopefully I can get everything settled when I get there, and adapt!
