our story begins 4years ago, when he first stepped into our operations floor... he was a new trainee doing floor tour in our account... i was tasked to welcome their batch and that was the first time i saw him... what catches mah attention was this unique aura in him that he easily stands out among the crowd... yeah, he is good looking, and no question about that... but there was this mysterious part that makes me interested to know him more...
so fast forward, after their training, he made it into our account... though my interest in him remains, my personality kicks in... the shy type in me prevails.... so i did nothing... and since i am not that type of person who would approach someone... our frequent interaction was just the simple "hi-hello"...
then we finally had a chance to have a real conversation through our common friend Tinnie... Tinnie was his supervisor that time and she was one of my close friend in our account (though she's also new to the company, we easily get at ease with each other)...
from that moment, the connection started... and fast forward, he became one of special person in mah life... part of mah extended family... though our personalities pulls opposite way, we have this common understanding in respecting those differences that makes our relationship stronger...
in the past four years, i can quantify 4 words that speaks highly of him....
adventurous, fiery, brilliant and
spirited... i can significantly remember him of his straightforwardness.. he is very much direct in his speech, often outspoken and very undiplomatic (sowee!), that is why i easily fall into arguments with him which surely i cant win... :-)
if he aspire for something, he will not give up and try his level best until he achieve what he wants... that is why i think he stayed in my previous company... :-) i remember that i did not approve of what he plans to achieve, i gave him better options to explore his career and warned him of the storm he will face if he pursue with his plans but i failed... i know that he does not look for external approval especially when it comes to achieving success... and i guess, he just want to prove himself to himself that he can achieve what he wants... and at the end... yes, he succeed and i was wrong...
and yes, he loves to be liked and praised... it is very much necessary to appreciate and praise him openly to keep him very happy... furthermore, he is a cheerful spender and like to spend a lot of money buying new stuff and unique items, big YES especially to clothes... if he's down and want to be cheered up, bring him to a shopping spree... :-) but remember, second hand items, used stuff is out of the equation... he's intent are for buying first hand, first class and branded new items...
if you want to make him mad.... do just one thing... ignore him.... if he felt that he's ignored, he'll definitely loose his temper... if he said he's hungry, he means that he immediately require food or else his patience will be gone in a zap... he likes to be attended first or his interest will pass out and worst, may end up quarreling for nothing... to top that, he does not like admitting to his mistake and personal failures...
when i get lucky in times that he admit his mistake... he admit it silently and will not express it to anyone and be vocal about it... this is the worst time in giving him advice, so i might as well just listen to him...
lastly, there is certainly one thing that makes me like him the most... he keeps his loved ones on a high pedestal... he is very much thoughtful, generous and caring... the attention he gives is unparalleled... if pushed, he can defend everyone he loves even till death...
wow, i cant believe time travels so fast and despite all of my shortcomings... you stayed with me through everything... i cant imagine living my life now without you on it... and i thank you for all of our wonderful experience together... as you open a new chapter in your life... i would like to assure you that i will always be here for you... i will be your shoulder to cry on and your ears to whine upon... and i wish you a great day and have a blast on your special day (though am sad that i cant be there to be part of your big 3-0 celebration)....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
