Another gathering

Yesterday, after I met up with my P sch friends, I went on to meet my friend J whom I know him in UK. It was the last min decision for him to come over to Spore, so we met up for dinner.

We have been keep in contact via emails and SMS. It has been a while since I last saw J and so I was expecting to see some little changes in him. He keep saying he has aged…ok we shall see!!

^^^^^^

It is refreshing to see old friend again, and as usual we gossiped and talked about what has happened during that year of absence in UK. A lot to talk about, family, work, friends we knew etc. We went to Clarke Quay for dinner.

What was upsetting was to get to know about the work. We knew each other in this restaurant and both of us worked together for 3 years b4 we resigned. It was enjoyable working there for that 3 years as I have met wonderful colleagues to work with, despite having gloomy politics coming from our bosses. I have faced quite a few incidents at work that sad to say try to break the friendship with my friends but all don’t seem to work on me as I strongly believe in myself and J, despite facing several . As he was telling me all, I couldn’t help but start to think back what had happened = all the same. The sad thing is that, another friend and J’s friendship were affected by it. Well, that is nothing much we can do, we just hope that time can heal and solve all problems that come with it.

J says it could be due to the business strategy that bosses are behaving like that. Perhaps so, and I’m not in the position to argue that. However, what I do not understand is that why involve your personal life into work politics and get people into trouble.

My bosses treated me well, but they are not the nicest one to work with. Through the years I was there, I get to know more of their behaviour and try to adapt to save myself amd my friendship with others. It was a bore and mental torture at times, but it was the friendships and customers that keep me in high spirits. It was so much to the torture that I was so relieved during my last day at work, and never again keep in contact with them.
Anyway, they don’t treat people that nice and quite often belittle people. I always believe in retribution, and I’m not sure if they got theirs already. Their newborn daughter was dead after 3 days, they have a new son, recently diagnosed with autism. As much as I don’t quite like them, I felt sorry for their children. I hope the best for them.

As for me and J, we want to move forward and leaving behind the work place’s memories. In my opinion, after so much trouble, I’m still glad to keep my friendship with J.
