Once again I had to say goodbye to a good set of colleagues. I served my two months notice just last Friday. It was a bittersweet moment. While others serve a one month notice, I had to serve 2 months! Magazine’s a bi-monthly publication so all under publication team who have signed the contract in this year had to serve 2 months. While it did give me time to catch up with my colleagues and treasure their company, it was still a rather awkward situation with the bosses. I like my female boss but it’s still a weird situation. I’ll definitely miss my office minah whom I shared so much information with (gossip). I don’t know how to put it into words but I knew I couldn’t stay any longer. Before I made that decision I went on a holiday.
Just before I handed in my resignation letter, I went to Bintan with Maddie, DIana and Mavis. We shared the resort with 4 other friends. Yasi, her gf, and her gf’s two friends. It was a much needed holiday as I felt like I was suffocating at work. I’m not sure if it was a wise decision but I knew it was something I had to do. I even thought of, "What if I don’t return to S’pore and just stayed on in Bintan?" So anyway, the holiday was really fun. It was just us girls, a buggy, swimsuits and the beach.(and the occassional rain that Diana brings with her haha just her luck) It felt so good to be taking things slow. We had weird pick up lines and scary Korean men but still it didn’t deter us from having our fun. The beach at night was so breathtakingly natural. It was surreal. We drove out late at night when all were in their resorts. It was low tide and I could walk on the sea bed. It was totally dark with just the spot light on the shore shining out it looked like a dream. I was so happy to finally get away. When we grew hungry we called for the bus that came all the way to our doorstep. On the way to the market square, we all looked up and were awedby the blanket of stars in the sky that looked as if they were just infront of our eyes because it was so dark nothing else stole the light from the stars. It may sound very drama to you but this is truly how it seemed. Like the stars were just an inch away from our hands. We even went clubbing at the "hottest new club" which was abandoned save for the older seminar attending Koreans. We were like the only young ones dancing away in our little circlular lounge. And one Korean nut head stepped into it. Even though we disuaded him (like ignoring and Mav even lay on the couch, preventing him from sitting on it) it didn’t stop him. Later when we left one followed us and we were freaked out. We drove our buggy so fast the light on the left hand side popped out of its socket (which was dislodged from an accident prior to the night) hanging out like a horror show with someone’s eye popping out. Really funny. We couldnt reverse too fast either. hahaha. Well it was fun and I was energised and ready to think about the work situation.
Well as we all know by now the verdict, I’m trying to enjoy it as long as my money can last me. 
And try to find the inspiration again. Write again soon.
