Here goes...

This post marks the end of a little era.

It has been a manic six months... and a lot of it has been agonizing work and terrible hours. Yes, I have ranted and raved about the underpaid and tepid state of my "winter of discontent" in SJ Burnout, but now as I prepare to vacate my office I remember these moments and smile...

Lunches at Stanleys, cigarettes by the riverside in the afternoon and evening, beers at O'Neils before heading back to my desk, conversations at the Banker, fish and chips on Friday, coffee and hot chocolate downstairs by the lift lobby, walks across Southwark Bridge, strawberries on the patch of green under the trees along Upper Thames Street, Pret a Manger sandwiches, soup and bread in the evenings, San Miguel beer bottles beside the break-out area, pirates summer partying on a boat, gin & tonics at The Golden Fleece, gargantuan guacamole wraps, lunch invite e-mails, Sunny rooftops, very violent table tennis, very very violent table football, Binny on the dance floor, Gracey on the Karaoke mics, Terence on the carpet, Aileen with Vietnamese rice rolls, Chongster and his "hey Mate...M-M-M-MMate!!", Matt with a football on the grass, Arun and his "thyroid problem"...

... and I am grateful for them. But for these foolish things - SJ Burnout may have washed me out as well... Thank you, you wonderful people for making these days bearable, and I will miss you!

You definitely changed my world!

Arrru-u-u-u-u-nn!!!

Let me sing you the RGS song...

Gotta end the PAIN!

Taxi rides are for hugs!

Strike a pose! (Not very) VOGUE!!

CHONGSTER M..m..m..mMate...

Charlies Angels with Charlie's favourite angel in the middle...

Actually I had no idea who those two pouters were...

... but if you can't hold your Sake - join them lah!

One more for Charlie!

A very tired angel...

Three little maids from school ...

... and then, there were two...

... and two more...

And so all good things come to an end!

Ta Ta!
