Cherish friends who, though are far away, still let you linger in their thoughts. I thought that when I got a message from my former officemates inviting me to come and join them in their Christmas party last December 21st. It was humbling, that despite the fact that I now work in a different company, they still think and treat me as their colleague. With that thought, I couldn’t possibly turn them down.

It was as if I never left, even our Japanese supervisor. They were as much fun as when I was still with them. They were naughty; they were boisterous; they were them. And they still cared about me and that was a thought worth hugging.

As usual, there were food varieties galore, games-in which I won two prizes, by the way- and a lot of hearty talk because we had a lot of catching up to do with each other. It was a truly fun evening, and I didn’t regret that I got home in the wee hours of the morning already, even if I had to go to work in a few hours. It was a time of friends, and laughter.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
