He quit his job... a shock to me. Couldn't believe it, so I picked up the courage to call him and ask why. Seemed like I had the hunch that I may not see him again. Before I knew he quit, I asked him I will see him again as I need to pass him some souvenir fr Taiwan.
Dunno of its a good thing or not.. After I called him, we become closer friends, the barrier between us seems to have dissolved. Just last Monday, he treated me to an expensive buffer dinner at JP and we talked comfortably just like old friends. Got to know him more.. In the past, I always feel that he is very secretive, disappear n appear as and when he likes. After the meal, I got to know him as a person who thinks really maturely, who is so busy with meetings, work and studies. He told me that "we are all human" when I complained that some ppl r difficult to deal with. Always have the impression that he is serious guy who demands a lot from his staff, but not anymore after talking to him. He also told me that it is very impt to take care of yourself, that he sees many ppl who are affected much by work and relationships. Is it a blessing in disguise that he left the company? If he stays on, I will long to see him take the same shuttle bus with me and on the mrt back home. But we will forever remain in this situation. Now that he has tendered, we are able to talk comfortably on phone n whatsapp.. But our life will become more distant as he settles into another job and busy with his work which is totally unrelated to mine anymore. This is the case with other ex- colleagues, we r on facebook but not contacting anymore.
Still, this friendship between us is really special which I felt happy to have. He has given me advices which he may not be aware of. Hopefully we can remain in contact for as long as possible. Sad but have to accept it.
