Friends!, originally uploaded by Lobinhoot.

Its been a hectic September for me. The Kiwis came over to do some training with our boys in S’pore. And I must say it was definitely a very enjoyable experience for me and some of my colleagues who interacted with them. I’ve to admit they seems rather “unfriendly” in the beginning, but as soon as the initial “barrier” gets knock over, all hell breaks loose. Hahaha! In a good way. I’m sure it is in every human to be weary of others, especially since this is the very first meeting between them and some of us. But I’ve always enjoyed some good company. And Stuart and gang certainly were very good company! I’m already missing them this very moment. Haha! Actually its rather sad to say goodbye to a bunch of good friends I’ve made during these 3 weeks. Day in, day out, I was with them. Its been the BEST 3 weeks ever since coming to this new workplace. Am trying to hold my emotions back now. Hahaha! Silly me, eh? =D NZ is just a flight away. Well, 10 hours to be exact. And they will be expecting me over there this December or so. I’ll plan for a trip, definitely. And it is heartening to hear them all say they will wanna host me well.

I must say I have done myself and my country proud, by giving my Kiwi pals the most of watever I could. I’ve been their liasion officer, tour guide, street directory, information booth, driver, emergency point of contact, etc. But most importantly, I was their friend. =) And I’m really glad I’ve made 48 more new friends from a distant land – New Zealand! And I’ve got to know some of them real well too! And I am grateful to be given the opportunity to offer my services to them while they were here. I’ve shot a total of 2,115 photos since the day they touched down in Singapore. =D I’ve given them my car decal, so if u happen to see the Lobinhoot decals in NZ, say “hi”, cos they r my friends!

Sweet As!!
