Welcoming Christmas =)

Last 2 working days of Year 2009

Line wasn't as busy as it always should be

And most importantly,

Everyone is starting to be in a holidaying mood

Which explains all of our playfulness while working =)

Grandma, Woon, me and Rachael

Me and Grandma, the one who's always concern about all of our well-being

Me and Woon, the "ice-cold" girl, but it's proven wrong by us =P

Day 2 - Last working day of Rachael
Grandma, Woon, Rachael and me

Woon, Boss and Rachael - See how good the three of them "coordinate" with each other =D

Me and Rachael helping to advertise Australia Post products =P

Rachael's farewell gift from Toan, 2009 Australia Post Stamps Yearbook

Last but not least, of course our boss being our Santa Claus =D

Wish everyone a Merry Christmas

And may your Christmas be as merry as mine...

I cut my hair =)

So i still can't wait for the few more weeks before i go back Malaysia to cut

The curling in the picture is just temporary

Now after my shower, my hair became wavey back

But my front is short again

After very long Rachael only realised

"Ehh, this is Wai Chien!"

Cause that was how my hair was when i first reached Melbourne

=)

This is a more obvious picture that Rachael cut her hair as well

Since both Woon and Jia Han also asked the same question

"You cut you hair also?"

Had a good shopping session with Rachael today *hugs*

Girls' Shopping as usual

=D

One year

It had been a year, an exact one year marked by December 10.

This day one year ago, i declared to stop blogging.

That was the day we broke up.

Thinking about my Australia exchange program for the past one year, it felt like i've been through a lot.

But whenever recalling about the memory with him, it still felt like yesterday.

One year ago, i moved all his messages to a folder i won't see but it existed.

One year after, it took me quite a bit of courage to open that folder.

I read through all the 300+ saved messages one by one.

And i deleted them one by one.

It's painful, but it was a pain which i was supposed to face a year ago which i couldn't bring myself to.

Instead i'm glad i did what i did today.

I reminised what happened, those happy days.

But at the same time, reading all those messages in a calm mood and clear mind, i saw what went wrong.

It wasn't him, it was me.

He couldn't have done more than enough to make me feel secured.

I was too blind to see what he had been doing.

I had been too deaf to hear what he had been saying.

Reading back all those messages conveying of what he had been trying to tell me and the patience that accompanied it.

It was my wrong to doubt him.

I was a lucky girl that time.

He made a right choice to break up with me, cause the relationship had been a tiring one.

Trying to convey a same message over and over again, how can it not drain his energy.

Looking back, i couldn't feel more glad that we had been together once.

But i'm even more relieved that he made that decision, because it's really for the two of our's good.

I treasure this relationship we once had, as beautifully as the relationship started, it ended as peacefully as it could.

Thank you for all those you did for me back than, it was me who didn't appreciate it.

But i'm glad everything had come to an end.

Christmas Dinner

Yes i know, it's still a bit too early for Christmas Dinner.

But i guess the Australians do it early cause during Christmas Day itself, they will spend it with their loved ones.

Woon and me

Tran and Toan

Wife and Husband (obvious)

And of course they play an important role

Toan is our boss!

Rachael, Woon, me and Grandma

We miss you Jun

There would had been so much more laugther on top of the ones we had if you were around

You aren't forgotten

=)

Gifts

I suppose it meant to be a Christmas card from Jun

But somehow, the envelope was not sealed properly and the card went missing

But i still appreciate the empty envelope

Notice the stamp, that was a stamp i wanted

So nevertheless of what happened to the card

I still appreciate Jun's thought

Thank you!

=)

~~~
From Tran and Toan

Tran's nice thought to get the bag, but poor Toan who had to pay for it

Still, thanks a lot for the sweet gift

=)

~~~
Finally the finale

Woon's super duper sweet sweet thought

Never would i dream of getting this as a gift before
But see,

She's actually so smart to think of getting that as a gift for me

A HELLO KITTY mouse!!!

You guys couldn't see how happy i was when i opened the gift

Thanks Woon...!!!

The card, the gift, and you, are just as sweet

~~~
But guess what's the most precious gift i received for this year's Christmas

It's not something tangible

It's what i gained from working in the post office especially with the people i work with

All these months had been a precious precious experience and memory

Which i think is the only thing which i would tear for when i leave

Thank you Monash University Post Office

*hugs for all of you for making such a great combination*
