A breath of fresh air, the scent of all things fruity and lavender

I think I've completely lost touch with civilization. One thing that lifts my spirits every night though is the daily exchange of emails between Ooi and myself. Someone in the same line. Someone who entirely understands. It makes me blush to say this, but I do miss Ooi, and EL too...

We were bull-dozing through our sample testing for the night, and at roundabouts 9pm, the crackling of fireworks startled us all. We ran to the client's window, and we switched off all the lights...truly, the display was amazing, and timely too! I stood at the back, and then I felt it. Despite all the shite we had to go through for this trying period, this is exactly what I've never felt back in my acc days, and even back then at my previous firm. The team spirit...and it saddens me a little to know that next year, this same time, probably 2 members of this team would have left the firm...It's almost like a split second, but that's what made me remember the choice I've made to begin with, and I'm hanging in there...

7 weeks to go...I can't wait for my holiday...

"If I feel depressed I will sing. If I feel sad I will laugh. If I feel ill I will double my labor. If I feel fear I will plunge ahead. If I feel inferior I will wear new garments. If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice. If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come. If I feel incompetent I will think of past success. If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals. Today I will be the master of my emotions."
