Goodbye Presents
Is my blog starting to sound like a major sob-story?Hell YEAH!
It must the time of the day that I choose to blog. How jubilant can one get in the wee hours of the night with the sound of the pelting rain for company? So, I have decided to blog in the morning... wait for it...
HOLLA! And a very GOOD MORNING PEOPLE!!!
Wow... notice the difference?
Today marks the beginning of goodbyes. I have almost completed running my errands and will devote the next 5 days meeting up with family and friends, with the sole intention of reminding them that I am still very much alive... albeit being miles away. Promises to keep in touch must be kept... Updates will be much appreciated and hugs coupled with the 'take cares' will the order of the day.
Mal was the first to give me a goodbye present. A rather curious looking contraption that looks like a mini flipchart calendar at first glance... upon closer inspection... the words on the first chart read 'Survival Kit for Indonesia'. Oh boy... this is going to be fun!
The 'Survival Kit for Indonesia'. Mal, probably the only one in the world that genuinely enjoys my crappy sense of humour (vice versa) and who can positively predict what will definitely crack me up. She very conscientiously went through the photo albums in the house with the precision of a keen marksman. She was out to get photos of me looking my most ridiculous, silliest and most hysterical. She did not have to look too hard and the survival kit is a pure gem. Littered with 'quotable quotes' only we can understand, the survival kit contained our (yup, Mal included her own disasters which induced side-splitting contortions from me) fashion disasters over the years and our all-time-favourite jokes and jibes. Survival kit... Mal, I am wondering if the laughter is supposed to perk me up and help me survive, or are you trying to tell me that I need to sort out my style in order to survive? Thanks beebs. gees...
Titled 'Lydia`s CD' is compilation of hits and no misses from SIAO!. Siao! might not want to be publicly commended for her artful arrangement of songs in this compilation due to her humble nature. So Siao!, the misspelling and mis-punctuation of your name is intentional. Siao!, you make me go crazy! Siao! is a nutcracker who enjoys breaking out in song and dance when work threatens to overwhelm. Siao! has been a loyal companion during the school terms and a chill-out buddy during the school holidays. I will miss Siao! for her wacky sense of humour and I think Siao! will miss me.. because honestly, Siao!, you will have a hard time finding a fellow off-key balladeer, someone who can move with you to a groove and hopeless at catching balls. No-ball-games, shuttlecock included. Siao!
So in tribute to Siao! and our glowing glamorous moments at work... I have decided to list my favourite tracks from Siao!'s copyright infringement goodbye present of a CD.
1) Promiscuous Girl
2) London Bridge
3) Loosen Up My Buttons
4) Hips Don`t Lie
Another present with hidden innuendos? Siao!
See... I told you, it is the time of the day.
WOO!
