Just got home from some drinks with colleagues from work. It's the first time I've joined them since I started working for the company....and it was fun! I don't mind doing that every friday....it's good to socialize. It's good to be back to my old self...happy-go-lucky gal. This is what I somehow miss out when I was in a relationship. Before, after work on a Friday, I wouldn't be bothered staying back to socialize with colleagues coz I'd rather be with my boyfriend. It's not that I was obliged to see him, I just preferred to be with him. I guess in that process, I sort of loss myself. Now that I'm single once again, I can do whatever I want without considering anyone but myself. I also realize how I've always been good with mingling with people, I easily get along with people without even trying. My sister once said that I'm a resilient person...I guess I am, otherwise, I would have not stayed here in Sydney. Times like this, you can't help but appreciate what you've got. Aside from family and friends, I appreciate the fact that I love the company I'm working for and the company loves me too...I feel it! My boss loves me....she keeps on reminding me how good I am in what I'm doing and that she hired me because I was smart and intelligent. Just this evening, while mingling with other colleagues from different teams...they constantly congratulate me for bringing in good business for the company. I was flattered since I was made aware that it's just not my boss who recognizes my abilities...the whole office notice it! I do hope next year I can continually climb up the ladder...once I achieve my next promotion, who knows, I might consider buying my own two bedroom flat. I think I'd be able to manage it....especially if Dad will be able to help me for the deposit!
