I've grown to be very attached to everyone at Mallal & Namazie.
I felt sad that SIP had to end, in fact, I was very sad and am still a little sad.
That's pathetic. Haha.
But that also goes to show how much I have grown to like them, and how much I have learnt from them and how much some of them mean to me.
I will never forget Mr Tan, for the warmth, kindness and fatherly love he gave me.
Interestingly, Mr Wong too, for caring in a manner where he chooses to put up a nonchalant front, but yet still asking if anyone is bullying me.
Javad, for being cool enough to crap with me and not take the insults we throw at one another against me; ironically, he's the boss's son. lol.
Nazmi for being there to help and guide me for I think I will not be able to have complete any work if he didn't show me the ropes to it.
And all the others who made my memories there so awesome.
There might be times that I am complaining about my SIP, but I recall it to be minimal.
I was still looking forward to every Monday when it was Friday for the first 3-4 weeks.
The last week simply went by too quickly.
From Monday-Wednesday, I was kept busy with work for I was given a new case to work on and at the same time, one of my colleague's relative passed on, so I had to cover his job.
While on Thursday and Friday, I don't know how and I don't know why, time just flew by very quickly.
Probably 4-5 times faster than normal.
On Friday, I remembered that I was giving out my gifts to them, and then doing a little work, and when I returned to my seat, it was already 12.30pm!
Which was soon to be lunch time cause they had a farewell lunch for me.
The whole office closed just to have lunch with me! I mean, like how often do the boss do that for just a small intern?
After lunch, the next thing I knew was, one colleague told me "1 more hour to go!"
I felt, sooooooooooo sad. Seriously sad, sad enough for it to trigger my water tap. Lol.
And then Mr Tan said to me, "Don't go off first k, I'm going to meet a client now, wait for me to come back."
So Mr Tan, Ms Loh and I had my last meal with them for my internship.
I had my first meal with them at Raffles Hotel, and I had my last meal with them at Raffles Hotel as well.
For the fact that Mr Tan wasn't able to go for my farewell lunch and had dinner with me as my farewell dinner, I was touched.
I mean, who am I to them?
I am just like some random intern who comes and go, so why do they even have to bother about me?
Like they have their family and much important stuffs in their lives.
And that is why I say, I am very touched over that.
I will never forget that I once said to Mr Tan "why don't you want to go home and eat with your family instead of eating with us now at marutama (he likes the ramen at marutama best btw, next is the one at iluma)"
He explained, and the next day he told Nazmi, "You know what happen yesturday? She questioned me of my actions yesturday you know! She's the big one now!"
Even when I was walking from City Hall to Clarke Quay today, when I walked past The Adelphi, Funan, Supreme Court, Recipes...
Every thing reminds me of my SIP times.
The journey from our office to Court in Mr Tan's car, the lunch we had, the conversations we had, the jokes we made..
Everything is just filled with so much memories in these short 3 months.
I may be just an intern to them, but they are definitely not just colleagues to me.
Take care my friends! I'll miss everyone of you..
I think that I am mentally prepared for school, but not emotionally prepared for school =/
