Yesterday was my last day at work.. Man oh Man.. the emotions are really kicking in. I managed not to cry the whole day which was amazing. It wasn't that I didn't feel like it.. but that I wanted to keep myself together and make a decent speech!

My work friends all chipped in and bought me a beautiful Swarovski bracelet. Everytime I look at it I will think of them.

It all happened so fast. I packed in a rush, then we had the presentation, then I had to hand over my passes and that was it.. I had Left The Building. We went to the Chelsea for drinks, it was really special having all these colleagues around me who were really friends more than colleagues, and Pear came up too later which was great. I'm so glad she was there, and also to accompany me home on the long train ride (well.. long wait for connecting train at Central)..otherwise it would've been a hard journey to make myself.

I hope to stay with as many of them as possible. I'm still coping with the idea that I don't work there anymore! It's a strange feeling to disconnect yourself from things that have always been there, eg. your job, your car, possessions, home.. I never expected to feel this way when I planned to go away a couple of months ago.

Today I'm off to Melbourne and Nagambie for the Dragonboat National Championships. I think it'll be a good break away with and being amongst friends. I'm really looking forward to the racing too. It'll be the first time I race dragonboat with the PD's and I'm ready to WIN!!!
