Ode to Lynn

Good bye Lynn!

Today, Lynn did not come to work. Because she has resigned from REX and is now happily touring NSW with her mum. She will go back to Singapore and help her dad. We will all miss her!



Still remember, Lynn? We came on the same flight together. We were so excited about the new job. You were a bit reserved and told me it is because it is your first job and you did not know what to expect. I was so blarbly about my old job experiences like a typical auntie.

Remember our Amazing Race at Brisbane? Thank you so much for helping me with my 10kg bag, mate!

I could still picture our exhausted faces when we were made to explore Bondi Beach in the mean heat of summer when we arrived at Sydney.

Your first asthma attack whilst helping to move beds from Apt 110 to Apt 39. I was so shocked. I never had a friend who had an asthma attack before and til now, it worries me if it gets serious, which hospital should I send you to? Sydney Children's Hospital at Coogee or Sir Alfred Royal Hospital at Darlinghurst?

And I remember now you are allergic to paracetamol and some anti-biotics. No orange juice for you as well. And no full-cream milk. Skim, please.

And your daily mocha fix. At Cafe Simeon. How will I forget that? Although I know now you prefer Starbucks instead.

Oh, your Calbee cravings! I will certainly miss them! No one will offer me Calbee at all hours of the day now! :(



Your love of dogs. Big dogs, small dogs. You love them all. And also your Yoshi too, your lovable lovable Yoshi who will eat anything you feed him. I will remember Yoshi too.

Your love of cows too. Black ones, brown ones, black and white ones. No beef for you because you love them and it will bring them pain if you eat them. I admire your determination. I will simply just wilt when I see steak.

Your ai-xing pai sandwiches in the mornings. When waking up is a chore and going to work so early in the morning is a torture, your breakfast fills me with so much luuurvveee that it makes going to work more bearable. I will miss them! I don't forsee Chun making me ANY breakfast thats for sure.



I will certainly miss you as a roomie! I always wake up when you say,'Elisssssss, wake up. Elissssss.' I hope I will try to wake up on my own when you are not around.

And your fabulous vanilla scent. It makes our room so delicious all the time.

And your dedication to keep the house clean. I am sorry I had not been consistent and as neat. I try, but sometimes I am just too lazy to clean up after myself. If it is not for you, the house will be literally like a pig sty! I really appreciate that.

Ohh! talking about that, I must mention about your cooking then! I never learn as much from you from any of my other friends who can cook as well man! I will miss your luncheon meat with egg sandwich, your chicken stew and your oh-lala soup. I am so going to miss your Scallop porridge loh! That is the bestest you know.



I know it is too late now and you are leaving us, maybe forever? But I must take this chance to say that it is indeed not easy staying together. We had gone through so much. All the happiness (Unit 21, unite! Porn all the way!), anger, quarreling, misunderstandings (I still seek your forgiveness on that bitching matter, although you said you have forgiven me, but I felt it is my fault all the same) and the unity (housework, yuk) I will remember forever.

Indeed, we have pulled through even though we are so different. Sometimes I miss your laughter and your wacky comments when you were in Wagga or when I am just alone at home. Unit 21 will never be the same again without you. I will miss your infectious laughter. Thank you for coming into my life. All the best in your future endeavors.

Dun you dare ever to forget us. Remember to invite us to your wedding. Remember to hang up your monster and angel lights at home ok?

Byebye, I'll miss you
