Hello! Last post, I mentioned about my work, but i forgot one person that make our life in the company very 'interesting' - my postman 'friend'.

Would u be wondering why the word friend is in inverted commas? She has her own name but we prefer to address her as 'friend'. U will know the reason in the later part of this post ^^.

Before I took over Kirby's work, I partly deal with mails and vouchers. Thus, I would have more opportunity to come in touch with postman as compared to Kirby. Very 'fortunately', 'my friend' is a postman that always delivers letters and mails to the staffs, including me. I am not so socialise thus it would be quite impossible for me to build a relationship with her... until a particular day.

It should be the second week after I first came in. I remembered that that 'tragic' day after I had my lunch with Kirby, sitting in the office doing my work when 'my friend' came to deliver the airway bills to me. Normally, she would just passed me the items and went off without stopping long at my desk. However that moment, she stopped and asked me a few questions.

This was a sample of our conversation on that day that changed my life in the company:

'My friend': Who u normally eat with during lunch time?
Me: A... Usually I will eat with my colleague. (Even I tell u the name, u also dont know -_____-")
'My friend': Can I have lunch with u in the future?
Me: O.o (Do I know u?) ... Can ah, but we usually have our lunch quite late.
'My friend': Never mind. Can u give me your number?
Me: K.
So I gave her my number...
Me: Then, give me your no. ba.
'My friend': I mis-call u?
Me: -_____-" Can. (Then, what u suppose me to say?! Cannot?!)
After we exchanged our no., before she left happily, she said, "When u go for lunch, give me a call or sms me also can ^^." (LOL! Did I know her that well at the first place?)

I then informed Kirby that there would be another staff joining us for lunch. Kirby was totally fine with it, no point of objecting I think.

That day, after work, we first communicate through sms. I almost vomit blood after 3 sms-es from 'my friend'. Want to know the content? No problem! I still kept it in my phone WELL N SAFE. This the how it goes...(Copy straight from my phone ^^)

'My friend': Hi any way u stay where?
Me: Yishen far away from HSBE ^^ (Still being friendly)
'My friend': Same stay farrer park.
Me: (SAME?! WHERE GOT SAME?! FARRER PARK IS SO NEAR FROM OUR OFFICE which is located at Labrador Park -__________-") o.o so normally u take train back?
'My friend': Ya u reach home already?
Me: Not yet T.T i think still need half an hour more 
'My friend': wow very far :/
Me: (Vomit blood!!! Does she knows where yishun is?!!!) ya lo.

Half dead after communicating with her and I even showed Kirby the conversation. Kirby kept laughing at it after that. (Heartless)

The next day, we had our job done early so we could have a early lunch (not that early. It was around 2pm already.) Then, I thought of 'my friend', since I had promised to ask her for lunch if possible. I sent a sms to her asking her whether she had her lunch already. She was in the food court with her friends.

We went to 'greet' her although it was quite awkward to approach her together with a few unknown staff. At the moment, I told that she was unable to join us n was happy about it. However, she just left her friends there n joined us (super awkward).

Our lunch was not as pleasant as I thought as we were not that familiar with each others in order to chat all sorts of things. Most importantly, I found that she had some 'comprehension disorder'. Sometimes she could answer out of the questions, making me extremely speechless with a lot of black lines.

Oh ya! She was 18 plus plus years old -__________-" Lame right. She should be born the same year as me but she purposely said she was 18 plus plus to make her sound younger than me and this was all caused by Kirby. Even though she was same age as me, but she has no intend to further her studies. She even mentioned that she had quite a lot of job experience already. Since I had nothing to chat with her, I just asked her the reason of not continue her studies. U know her answer was?!!!

"I dont know." 

Dont suspect. This was really what her answer! How can she dont know the reason of not studying anymore! This meant that she had something that she dont want us to know. So we guess that maybe she was a ITE student that step into the workforce once completed her studies. This was how our first contact was like, still 'acceptable' I guess.

Then, a few days later, we went to ask her for lunch as I had been rejecting her for a few days due to a heavy workload. She was already having her lunch - fries and a big cup of coke. I then 'hint' that maybe I could just go for lunch with Kirby. 'My friend' didnt understand my hint (even Kirby thought that it was very obvious that I didnt want to go with her) n insisted to go with us even if the canteen does not allow outside food. I was giving Kirby this retarded face -^-"" while 'my friend' was packing up to join us for lunch.

On our way, 'my friend' mentioned that she was not feeling well. -____-" If she really not feeling well then she shouldnt be eating all the junk food n she looked extremely good.

Started our conversation with the food that we bought for lunch - my curry chicken noodles, Kirby's Korean food and then her big cup of coke. The cup of coke was really huge. We were curious y she bought such a big cup of coke when she claimed that she was not feeling well. She proudly said that that was a 'staff offer' and mentioned that the cup of coke was huge for more than three times. Then the conversation suddenly jumped to 'the guy went to Suntec City'. Couldnt get used to the sudden jump as I was still wondering who was 'that guy' she was talking about. I found that she really like to change topic with a sudden jump n thinking that we were about to follow with it. Please! Hope she suppose us to know who the people she working with. Speechless-ing... I rather ate my noodles than talking to her.

While I was trying hard to eat my noodles very SLOWLY, I heard Kirby asking something like "How much older than you". Hmm... Kirby was asking the age gap between her and her teammates, I thought.

I was totally shocked when she said,"thousand". O.o She meant the sum of age difference? 'My friend' clarified it by continuing her sentence with the comparison between the office here and the office at Raffles Place. I was so puzzled as I thought Kirby was talking about the age difference but 'my friend' was saying the otherwise. I turned to face Kirby n asked her softly,"not about people?" Ha ha Kirby smiled, meant that I didnt hear wrongly. God! How could the one sitting just opposite of us heard n interpreted it until so differently?!! Then we went on to birthday...

I remembered asking when was her birthday, not very curious about it actually. It was not a very difficult question, but she told a long time before she answered me. However, her answer just caused me felt like vomit blood. She replied,"in the mid August". What the! After thinking for so long she could just gave me the month?! She didnt know when was her birthday?!!! In return, she asked me the same question. I was so -______-" that I just told her it was at the start of year n started eating again. She didnt give up on that n kept asking me for the exact month. Please la! I was still eating, chewing on the noodles, yet she wanted me to answer her question. Can I throw her with noodles? She found that she couldnt get anything out of my mouth n turned to ask Kirby. That evil Kirby threw the question back to me X.X . I couldnt imagine how her friends could actually tolerate with her 'nonsense'. I simply could communicate with such people... I felt like banging the walls while talking to 'my friend'!

Kirby said that it was fun to eat together as she could c my face being -_______-" throughout the meal. Kirby was having fun while I was suffering...x_x


It was the last lunch we had together with 'my friend' as we had our meal later n later as days went by. Even we had the chance to go for early lunch, I just reluctant to go with 'my friend'. However, I couldnt avoid to communicate with her at work, but mostly she would just ask me "very busy? Have ur lunch already?". Sometimes I would wonder whether I look like food to her (as she always ask me about lunch)?

Although we were unable to have lunch together anymore since we had left the company, I would still remember her... A very GOOD experience! Will miss her 'nonsense'... X__X
