My First and Closest Colleague Ever!

Dear Hui Mee,

Thank you for giving me chance to know you for almost 6 months. Although it is not long, but you are my closest colleague. Ever since we worked in the same company, we went out for lunch every day, we joked, laughed, and shared our moment together. It was my privilege to know a you rather than a colleague but a good friend. I would consider you as my close sister too, someone who is willing to listen to my grumbles and problems. I'm glad that you understand my feelings very well because you care for me.

I love the way you smile, and your kind and warm actions made my heart melt. Every time I see you in the office, you will still smile or laugh when you feel so stressed up with your work. It's true that your sis told me you are a strong-will person. You won't show how bad is your stress as compared to me, I will grumble like mad. To me, you are cheerful and happy-go-lucky person. Not to mention, you can joke and tease me too :). You made me forget the stress I'm going thru.

And you won't forget my breakfast :) Every time, you will bring some food and share it with me, then from there onwards, we shared almost everything even a small sweet and umbrella. At times, we can't decide where to eat but ended up making order and 'ta pau' back to the office. We had a great time together. I feel so blessed to have a friend like you. Btw, I love the Christmas prezzie you gave to me last year. The cute Snowman. At first, I thought who put this cute Snowman on my table early in the morning, then I turned my head and looked at you, you gave me a warm smile. I know its you. Surely, I will keep that and I won't give it to anyone.

I didn't expect anything from you but your kindness showed me that you care to share your love with me. You always come so early and every time, I will make sure I turn my head back to see whether you are there at your work place. Sometimes, I feel disappointed if I don't see you around because I can't wait to see the way you smile and laugh early in the morning :P. Again, I'm blessed.

I remember how I met you on the first day. We met at the road side while waiting to cross to Wisma Genting, towards the LRT station. The first impression? You were quiet and shy. I realised that I need to make an intro the next day. We had our first lunch together with Jevan (first time I heard you called Mr. Jevan instead of the name, it's so formal, and I called him that too).. hehe...I'm glad you are no longer shy but love my company. Then we became close colleagues and always stick together wherever we go. My other colleagues will ask about you because they know every time I will choose to have lunch with you instead of joining them. I feel sad if I make you to eat lunch alone. Therefore, sometimes I would ask them if you could join in for lunch.

I know I didn't make the wrong choice and indeed you met Yen Ling, Emily and Su Ting, who then became your lunch buddies in the office as well as Josephine too. It's good that you could mix with other colleagues. The day I left the company, I'm sorry for not informing you because I was too emotional at that moment. I made a rush decision and didn't say goodbye to you. Not to mention, the day we met at the Food Court at Pavilion which I didn't spend time with you. (I came late, it's my fault). You didn't tell me how serious is your sickness but all you could tell me is that you are okay, and gave me a warm and assured smile. I wish I could help but I don't know how. I have tried to meet up with you again but ended up everything is not in place or could be happened. I feel regret for not sharing God's love to you sooner, and now I just wish you will know the only God in heaven, a Creator and be peaceful with Him now. Please forgive me if I said something wrong or hurtful to you in the past. I will keep you in my heart and prayer and may you rest in peace.

P/S: I won't forget you, my dearest colleague (25th April 2009). I miss your presence on earth.

Love,
Y.H.
