Of Zoos and ice-creams, interns and imaginings

as my lift is being barricaded for works, i had to use the newly installed lift at another location of my block to get home. it was a verily different experience for me. since i've moved, i've stayed at a unit that is very near the lift and there is only 1 other unit on the path from the lift to my unit. but because this lift is being re-constructed, i had to use the new one which is further away from my unit. and by doing so, i have to walk along the common corridor...

in many ways, this is very jarring for me. as i walk pass the many grilled doors and windows... my mind began to wonder about the families staying there. oh, i know it is rude to peep into other people's houses and rooms but... it is unconscious. i try, i swear i did, to walk pass with my eyes glued to the concrete or glazing out at the view... but as the corridor turns, i will glance pass someone's bedroom or living room... and even see the kitchen for 1 or 2... and my mind works in a frenzy, thinking up roles and situations of the family inside. is this what people mean by imagination? or just simple kpo-ness. haha.

another tot that occurred to me today, (technically, i mean yesterday) is my past relationship with my boss (aka the best boss in the world).. haha... i wasnt kidding when i gave him tat title you know... i really tot he was great... he still is (great i mean). he deserve that title because of how he treated me... AND also as i realised now- The situation in which we were in then. I was the only intern in the team and he drives me around everywhere, for lunch, for fieldwork... for fun activities... yup, he included me in most of his activities... and it was.. almost... like there was only the 2 of us... so i guess.. i got attached to him... i rem the last day... i felt so sad to leave... almost shed a tear or 2 as i left the office... hm..

of cos, i dont think i am the BIITW... i just happen to be the luckiest :) THANK YOU GOD! So, the interns are here for some months.. and hope i am a good influence on them and provide them with useful skills and knowledge and of cos leave them with good memories...

feeling blessed to the brim
