..:: sometimes you make me feel like i'm living at the edge of the world ::..
i'm overjoyed. another favourite band of mine is coming to town! i don't believe it!! suddenly all the great bands are coming to town! since last year..coldplay came, but i didn't get to watch them. the killers came, and i didn't get to watch them. placebo had a mini performance, and i didn't get to watch the performance either. and i told myself, if muse ever comes to lil ol' singapore...i'm definately going!! even if it cost me a bomb!!
AND I WENT!!!! the best concert i've ever been to! i mean, duh. compared to the ricky martin concert i went to when i was like 15! so all that shoving and pushing and losing my new pack of ciggies was worth it. oh ya, did i mention i lost 10 bucks as well!! but the ciggies really broke my heart.. only had 2 sticks..
the whole experience was awesome. went with khai and the boys. so much fun. and muse is THE best band ever! matt was just superb. chris is always just magnificent. and dom. wow. the best drummer. really worth my money watching them perform. the best british band. heh.
and now...the cure is coming to town... i know i mentioned that i'd definately get the tickets once payday arrives.....but.....
i was heading to the main showroom and i bumped into yixiu on the first floor while walking to the mailbox.. saw her looking at some products at a roadshow.. went up to her to disturb her..then she handed me an envelope. THE envelope. at first i was blur. i thought she just wanted to show me some flyer. then i stared at the cover and i said to myself "ni benda macam familiar jer.." and i realized what it was... opened it and...there it was... "The Cure Live in Singapore"... these five words stared at me. and then yixiu walked away smiling.
YIXIU BOUGHT IT AS A PRESENT FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!! i simply couldn't believe it!!
i didn't get it at first..then she said she bought it for me.. so i thought she meant she bought it for me first and i can pay her back when it's pay day... then i saw the price of the tickets. i was like "xiu, i don't have this much money to pay you back!!" how embarassing. then she just smiled and laughed and said "i BOUGHT it FOR you!" i was still blur. simply caught me off guard. absolutely dumbfounded. didn't know what to say. i walked up to her slowly. my jaw must have been touching the floor by then. and i just stared at her. and she gave me this huge smile and hugged me! i just froze.
where can you find such a fantastic colleague like her??? all that hard work and having to put up with all the "NOW!" and "CHOP2!" was all worth it. this is what makes me love my job. to know that you are appreciated. to know that all the work that i've done thus far hasn't gone to waste. to finally feel like you mean something to the company.
these new colleagues of mine are the best bunch so far. my previous colleagues has never shown so much gratitude to the staff as much as this bunch has. once you stop thinking that work is work, you know you've found the place you've always wanted to be.
thank you yixiu for making me feel so appreciated.
and annette too. the best Asst.Mgr one could ever ask for!!
***to khai - i hope nenek is alright. i'm so sorry to hear about her having to go for the op. do take care of her well. i pray that she will get better after the operation. and i promise i will visit her on my off day. we have to cheer her up. i can't imagin what it's like to lose a leg.... i just hope that things will get better. love you always. me.***
