The Final Countdown - 2

Now the number is getting real small and scary.

Had quite a full day today, Went to worx to say goodbye to all the people. I'd originally thought I'll be there for a couple of hours, but instead I stayed there from 2 to 8:30pm. There were so many people I'd missed and will miss even more when I relocate.
Everyone was just so nice, they were even amazing enough to throw not only 1 but 2 farewell parties in a day. One in each building.

It was very very dramatic, even I had no idea it'd shake me like that to say goodbye to all those people. But at the same time it felt amazing to see people around you show so much love and affection. It was just surreal.

If any of you guys are reading, I can never ever thank you enough. Specially Nevine (I know you sent out the email a month ago), and Nagia (Nagaiaia! I can't even begin to think of how much I'll miss you).

Nagia even consulted a car specialist (Thanks duke, you're amazing) to help her choose the proper die-cast car model for me. And boy did he choose the best! A 1992 Jaguar XJ220 in british racing green. Simply awesome.

And everyone else who participated in making this day what it was for me, no words in the whole world could describe my feelings when I'd found that many names signed on the card.
You guys didn't just make my day. You made many more days to come for me. I will forever have a smile on my face whenever I open that card, see your names, and remember our memories together.
To everyone at worx, thank you for making the past 3 years that experience that it was. Beginning with the very day I joined this family and ending with today.

I then managed to go see both my cousins for a quick farewell, and even some good college friends of mine.
It was all overwhelming and I had to work really hard to ket the tears from flowing many times through the day.
But it was also a day full of excellent memories.

I don't think I'll ever be able to explain, so I'll just end it here.

A frequent traveller I am, yet I still haven't got over that feeling of leaving something behind. Even when you stay just for a couple of days in some place, part of you remains there and you still leave it behind. I hate that feeling, so I can imagine how hard is it to leave all that you have ever come to know and embark on a new expidition.

But it's always worth the experience I'd say. It's only when you leave something behind that you free some space for accepting something new. We can't have it all i guess. Only Human:)

Am glad you liked the Jag. The keys are on you:):):)

See you Tomorrow
