It had been a good day yesterday.
Usually, it's a day that I'll take leave from work, simply to avoid the many colleagues I have (simply because I don't like getting attention). This year, work commitment had me working and I was pleasantly surprised. Many colleagues came up to me with well wishes. Majority of them I didn't expect, as I wasn't really that sociable at work, especially to the rank and file (I think my unsmiling look actually scares them off, haha).
One of them told me some of them had planned to sing to me, but didn't do it because they were shy. Them just having that thought warmed my heart. Presents were also given, again, something I didn't really expect as I myself don't place any significance to this date.
After work, I met up with Ying and Shahrin and Shahrin brought us to Fitness First to break a couple of sweat. Thereafter, we had dinner at Bambu which was treated by them. Again, something unexpected as I had seen it as a normal gathering. Well, thanks guys for remembering. And thanks to those who sent well wishes through sms.
The night was ended with a drink at the roof top bar of the Screening Room. I believe both of us guys caused Ying to burst a couple of blood vessels haa.
On my way home, I took the normal route by cutting through a park. For some reason, the lights weren't on. I looked up into the clear sky and saw it filled with stars, a view I don't see often in our lighted skyline.
Seeing the stars, suddenly I just feel very contented. Despite a few bumps faced over the past couple of years, to know regardless of the person I'm, I have a very good bunch of people surrounding me. The dark park and the stars. Who to say there are no such things as signs? Haha..
Well, on another note, in case those few squirrels who actually read my blog are wondering why the posts on my Cambodia trip stopped at day 2, it's because I'm busy with work. Will definitely update once I get my off day. Promise!
