Today's Amanda's last day. I felt shocked - She was doing well, yet she wanted to leave..not because she had no sales, but because she was disillusioned with management. What's new? Though we did not speak much, I felt that I know her better after our incentive dinner outing. Regret not answering her when she threw me her 1st question "Can you intro yourself?" She liked to ask me why I am so cold towards newcomers. I always have no answer for her except to smile blankly..I don't know why. She hugged me for the last time just now..She weeped. I felt very sad - I thought I would miss her hugs, though there were only two (One was a parting hug when we left Cafe Del Mar). Anyway, I wish her all the best in her future endeavours and hope that she will not be that simple. Simplicity is good, but it can kill...
Read Ad's blog. Loved her French-y concept. I always loved her ideas. Very abstract and creative. Surprised me initially, because she comes across as a Hokkien Ah Lian (Opps!) who mouths "Haaaaallooo~, I dun like!" Saw her thoughts which left me shocked and sad. I never thought that this happy-go-lucky never-may-care kid would be entrapped in confusion, bitterness and anger by this thing called "Love"...I hope that she would be her usual "ngieh" (Hokkien for sticking to own guns) self and face each and every problem with style. Hey, I know she can do it man!
I am quite affected by Amanda's departure, despite Accountant's constant consolations..I see the need to answer her question:
"Amanda, because I hate to say goodbye"
