Another farewell

I hate farewells. I hate it to see my friends leaving my side for any reason. Alas, I don’t know why this month has full of bad news, and those news means someone leaving for some reasons.

1st I have heard news that 2 of some staffs have been terminated. Well, of course I was surprised to hear it. OK…I don’t know them well personally, but we have done flights together a few times. The thought of them being terminated make me sad cos I believe that that can be avoided.

2nd, today 2 of my colleagues, Jocelyn and Matthew messaged me while I was on course that they are resigning. The 2 of them are some of my closer friends, and they said they found a better job. I can’t stop them and respected their decision. I as a friend would wish them well. However, I felt sad to know that they are leaving. Arrgh…I hate farewells! make me feel sad and lost.

^^^^^^

I have faced a lot of farewells in my lifetime. It was always during the time we are moving forward in life, that is transition from primary to sec to JC and to University. Each parting had their own farewell stories.

I remembered the time when I finished JC and have to move back to Malaysia for a while before starting University. Gosh, that was heart breaking, not only I’m leaving behind my dear friends I have known so long in here, I’m also leaving my darling then 2 year old niece and a home I have lived in for nearly 13 years.

The next big farewell was last year when I decided to come back for good. Though I have decided to come back, I hate the feeling to leave something familiar behind: my friends and colleagues there, my life and a country I have lived for 7 years.

I always dubbed June/ July to be the season of farewells as it was summer holiday and everybody is leaving during this period. Is it an conincidence that now in Singapore July is also the season of farewell?

There are friends whom I still keep in contact with, but unfortunately there are some whom I have lost contact already. Nonetheless, I still felt blessed to have crossed each other’s path some time, and get on the journey together. One day when there is fate, we would meet each other again, I believe.

I would have thought I would be immune with such farewells but today proved me wrong. I’m a human after all.

I wish you well, my dear friends! I’m glad to have known all of you.
