Little Wonders

Little wonders came in little packages. I have been waiting for the July 2007 HDA Amendments from Lina since Wednesday. Lina is my colleague back in KL. It finally arrived this morning. To my surprise, she couriered Maggi’s mee-in-my-mug together with the HDA thingy. LOL. And I also had tears in my eyes (Don’t tell me it’s the baby, again!!)

Actually I miss her so much. Back in KL, if I work late in the evening preparing some urgent documents or just finishing my day’s work, I will be high spirits knowing that she’ll be next door, tormenting herself, just like me. It’s just how we survived our work. We rarely stayed alone if one of us have to go back early. When I say go back early, I mean 6p.m. Which is not really early-lah.

We laugh at each other when the works just poured in, copied each other stupid advice letters which the Bank ask for over and over again, agreements (especially those corporate agreements, STRC loans or what-nots that we have to draft from scratch!) and man, I still remember the notorious Dato' Nordin's files which gives me headache just by looking at it! I am grateful that I have her around. We also have some help from Mee in my mug, biskut kering, Mamee, keropok maruku ikan (her Fave), sweets plus all other junk foods. I remember the cleaning auntie complaint to the girls that our rooms are filled with junk foods wrappers like a child’s room! LOL.

Even our bosses know where to look for our stock of junk foods!

Despite our differences, we became fast friends, good friends and I immediately like her within five minutes of our first conversation and all the following conversations. It’s hard not to love her chubby face and animated conversations.

Even now, when I work late in the evening, I always imagine her next door doing her work as well. And I can feel the stress is somehow lessened. So, Lina, thanks for the Mee-in-my-mug, you crazy auntie! You really make my day. I love you muah muah!!

PS. Just wondering whether you still have that green Tupperware where we keep all our junk food?
