As you probably would have guessed, 2013 hasn't exactly been a good year for me so far.
2013, pleasepleaseplease be good to me.
On another note, I've ended my first week of my internship and today marks the beginning of my second week. There is indeed much more work to be done and the office environment is more stressful in an MNC as compared to that of an SME, but it is a good learning experience.
Also, I've just registered myself for some Muay Thai lessons, yay!

Dear Orange,
It's been less than 2 weeks since you left. Your departure was so sudden that it still hurts. I still remember when you joined the family as a lively and active puppy 12 years ago, your unique way of waking us up from our sleep in the mornings by pouncing on us and licking/sniffing our ears non-stop till we got up, how you were such a greedy girl, salivating over any food that's within your sense of sight and smell (and us tricking you with some chili that you hastily gobbled and ended up getting surprised because of the spice haha :') ), how you would hide under the table whenever there's thunder, how you would silently stay in a corner (and occasionally weeping) whenever you get a scolding, how it was difficult to keep you on a leash whenever we took you for walks because you were so strong and full of eagerness and enthusiasm to roam around and explore everything, and the moment when you became a proud mother of six totally adorable puppies of your own. I remember your soft fur, your big round eyes, your cute nose, how we would always play with your flappy ears and how much you love your belly rubs. They say a dog is a man's best friend, so thank you so much for being my best friend for the past 12 years. You will always stay in my heart. I love you so much :')
Love,
Jing Wen jiejie

Dear Granny,
It's been slightly more than 3 months since you left us. It still pains me knowing that I am unable to see you again, at least not in this lifetime. They say time heals all wounds, I guess I still need some more time. I know it's time to let you go and I will, you've suffered too much for too long. I hope you're now happy up in the heavens where there's no more pain and suffering, and hopefully you've met up with Grandpa and are reminiscing about the good old times. You may not be here with us, but you will continue to live on in our hearts. I will always remember how you often called us to ask us about how we're doing and whether we've eaten. And whenever we visit, you will always welcome us warmly, cooking our favourite foods, bringing us drinks and fruits, giving me freshly pared and cut apples because you know that's my favourite fruit and holding my hands with your tiny but warm hands while talking to me. And whenever we leave after a visit, you never fail to send us off all the way till the lift, your petite frame standing at the top of the staircase waving goodbye to us and not leaving till we're out of your sight. I remember your trademark black-rimmed huge spectacles, your wrinkled, tiny warm hands, your petite, lovable frame, your kind and warm smiles and eyes, your headful of soft, greyish-white curls and your contagious and cute chuckles. All of these are such precious and vivid memories that I will always remember and hold dearly to my heart. Thank you so much for everything, Granny. If I was given a choice, I would never have wanted anyone else but you to be my grandmother. Thank you so much for showing me and everyone else so much warmth and motherly love. I love you so much, Granny :')
Till we meet again.
Love,
Your granddaughter
