roy called me last night and told me he was very sad. i wondered what would make him sad aside from his r/s problems. he's the sort who had no worries whatsoever, who was a happy-go-lucky chap who smiled all day. and he's the one who makes me smile just by looking at his face.

ask anyone who works with him, i bet they enjoy working with him. cos he's so comical and the way he says stuffs really makes your mouth go wide open. haha.

he broke the bad news to me. it really is a bad news to me.
though i expected it, though i told myself to be prepared for it, my heart ached. his transfer is finalised, in a way or so. he's not going to boat quay anymore, but the fact remains, that he's leaving al dente esplanade. we will still be working at the same place at esplanade, but he's going over to aria. i will miss his presence here. but i should be thankful, that at least we are under the same building, rather than at far far boat quay. not tt far, but still further than esplanade. at least under the same roof, we can see each other at functions. at least his transfer to boat quay was put on hold which resulted in his extended stay for 2 weeks here.

he touched me a whole lot with his words. he was semi drunk and told me his feelings. though we dont talk that frequent on the phone anymore, i can sense his unhappiness and unwillingless to part us. he once told me that he loved working with us; eric elicia, rosa and me cos we were so close, as if we were one family, and if he would to transfer to boat quay, he'd want to bring us along too.

and last night, he told me the same thing, that he really hated to part with us. he even said he really wish to spend the new year's celebrations with us. he really really wished to stay here.

and john is leaving on the 31st to the catering department. the rest dont know that yet, but john told me over supper just now. though john and i have sort of drifted over the past few weeks, i still feel the pain. my two most loved managers are gone. argh. no one to accompany me to and fro from work anymore. no more suppers with them. sighs.

which manager would hear your grumbles and scold the one who made you frown? which manager would let you work straight shift when you complain spilt shifts are too early? which manager would order food for you when you are hungry? which manager would send you up to your door step? which manager would call you for chats in the middle of the night? which manager would tell you about his family and life? which manager would tell you not to fall in love with him? which manager would tell you he wants to be with you but you are too young? which manager would ask you to skip school to work for him?

he does the weirdest stuffs, says the weirdest stuffs, does the stuffs not people will do, but he is really one of the best managers one can have. he is one of a kind. he dotes on me so much that he gives me whatever i want, as if i'm the manager. he makes me look forward to work. i really really will miss him tons!

the thought of it makes me want to cry.
i'm going to miss them so much. =(
i hate partings! argh!

I HATE PARTINGS!

they have planned ktv till 6am on new year's day, sort of a celebration for john's last day. i dont sing, neither do i ktv, i think it's a waste of money, but i'm going for sure. for sure. might be the last time i'm gonna see john! argh.

the year is coming to an end.
it's gonna be a whole new al dente in 2006.
it's not and never gonna be the same.
