it’s the end of almost everything

Yup, it’s the end of almost everything… The end of my internship, the end of my Summer holidays, the end of the time spent with friends & family, BUT it’s definitely not the end of my life =)

I’m very grateful to all who had made my Summer holidays merrier, more meaningful and memorable. I’ve spent 3.5months, almost 4 months back in Malaysia. And this time, I spent 2 months+ in Nilai/KL because of my internship.

First of all, I would like to thank my sister for welcoming me every weekend when I was at KL. Thanks for letting me to stay over at her small room and thanks for everything she had prepared for me. Another important person to thank is my twin brother, who was in charge of bringing me around, driving me here and there without any complaint. I would like to thank my Uncle as well. Thanks for bringing me around before he flew to US few weeks ago. We miss him so much! Also, I would like to thank my cousin sister who had treated us wonderful dinner at Kota Kemuning. It’s really nice to have spent time with our cute nephews.

Next, I would like to thank all my best friends/old friends who had made the effort to meet up, and to have small gatherings. The two trips to Genting were really fun and what we gained were the memories =) I really appreciate everyone who made it to the trip, esp Raul (for purposedly flew back from Sarawak), Yang n Wui (for joining us although they had exam the next day)! Thanks guys! Although this time we didn’t get the chance to have a gathering among jimuis, I’m glad that I get to see each of you and spent some time with you girls. *Ying and Angelene, this year is your turn to fly. Best wishes and take care. *Fong, have a safe flight back as well! *Syn and Anne, take care and miss you girls lotsss…

Last but not least, I would like to thank all my colleagues for their support and help throughout these two months of internship. Thanks for bringing me along to visit those water treatment sites, thanks for all the knowledge that have been shared with me, thanks for spending time with me in Nilai etc. I’m very very happy to have known a bunch of young and friendly colleagues. The two months I spent in Nilai were really great and memorable. Eating around, Playing badminton every Monday, Karaoke at MyBox etc etc… Special thanks to Clarice (for sharing her knowledge with me as well as making sure I was doing alright), PeiWen (for accompanying me while Clarice was away and bringing me out for lunch etc), Koh (for showing me the correct way home almost every weekend and bringing me out for supper/dinner etc), Wilson (for bringing me along to visit sites, sharing a few dramas/a lot of songs with me and also a great singer), Ong (for introducing good food/showing me several nice places), SuatBee (for the "trip" to Cheras Pasar Malam and all the nice songs you sang at MyBox), Yong & Helen (for showing/bringing me around when I first went to Nilai).

I’ve met a lot of great people in these three months plus and I’ve gained a lot of invaluable experiences. A lot more to share besides all these experiences, for example the Tzu Ching Camp in Malacca, the volunteer experiences in Selayang etc etc. All of these will be in my mind, and I will talk about them in other posts when time comes.
