last lunch. last day.
fu ho was in town for a day to sort out some paperwork so we had a dim sum lunch together. he'd resigned last month, and he is now going to work for vodafone in london as an experience-design manager. or something like that. good for him! i was really pleased for fu ho, but i've really missed him since he left. no more dim sum lunches for me!
also, yesterday was my last day at work. whew!
it felt kind of weird. i've been working there for nearly five years. the day i resigned, i felt an immense relief and at the same time, i realised how much i would miss working with friends like judith, michael, marie.
the last couple of days i was cleaning my desk and collecting my personal belongings from the office. i found loads of little post-it notes from monica; she used to leave me sweet messages like "i came by to return a hug", with her signature curly monica cartoon at the bottom. it made me sad because she left around this time last year and that means no one has come by to give me a hug for a year!
after work friday, robert and i went to meet angus, damian and stuart for drinks at this new bar, efffes, around the corner. then loads of people started to turn up. it was a good crowd; it kinda felt like the after-work drinks at mezzo four years ago.
so now i am free! except for 4 hours a week teaching at the TUE till the end of term, i am free! yippee yay!

Happy freedom Yasmina. Yeeeeepeeeee! And just for the record. I find it unbelievable that there are no curly hug givers around. I want you to know that I send you hugs even if I am not there......so if there are no post its it does not mean there are no hugs. You should look in other intangible places and you will always find monica hugs there. I was just checking my email. Feeling a little lonely, missing my life in holland and then I saw your message. I am lucky to have friends like you!

jgn lupa Milanese dikenal angkuh dan pongah akan fashion sense-nya, bahkan buat Italians sendiri : di Milan, ngga ada org jelek (setidaknya, ngga ada org berpakaian jelek) lol.
Carabinieri Milan ngga segan2 make armani, versace, dan gucci. Padahal polisi itu, bukan model. lol
