EIGHTEEN AND A HALF DAY LEFT

. . . .

excluding weekends, 18.5 days remained.
the number of days left before i leave my duty post.
spent a gd number of years in there. i literally slept most of my nights there since i
started my mcat chase. sometimes, as much as living there d entire wk; bringing in 4 sets of
fresh tees and a wk's worth of food rations to last me through the nights. and returning during
the wkend just to clear my set of dirty clothes. and the routine began again d following monday.
those days were crazy, living amongst books n papers in a small space, but memorable.


lately ah mao has been walking me all d way out. and she would stand and see me walk away.
i have told her about it. maybe she understood? i will never know.
she was one of the reasons i hung on for so many more years but now i feel it is the right time
to let go and do what i have to accomplish. i have done my best for her and his interests and i
know they will be in good hands. i think once again, i saw the "do the right things at the right
time" and "everything happens for a reason" theories at work. i had found it hard to leave a few
years back coz i felt it wasnt the right time to leave them. and when everything worked out well
for me this time, someone came along to replace my role and i knew the time has come.

it will be hard to part but im sure we will meet again.
for now, enjoy the last few outings with them.


lots of other stuff to talk about.
for now, im totally exhausted.
