The blossoms flew away
The imf/world bank annual meetings have finally come to an end yesterday. Morning delivery was not as rush as before, infact we could even take time and decide which office to delivery first. By 6pm the delegates have all moved out of their offices and the whole place has alreadystarted to be erased. The doors began to disappear, then followed by the wall colour panels and then i dunno what eles followed.
I had a chance to walk into IMF managing director Rodrigo Rato and guess what i saw... a personal bathroom with shower included inside and an air conditioning unit too, in the bathroom! I kinda miss the offices now... working there for ten days has definately left an impression, a memory that i will never forget. the mad rush of morning deliveries, the bitching of secretaries and the answering of their smallest requests.
The way to each office is still fresh in my mind, oh how i miss the nice lady in office 6D202, Mr John Lipsky *does the trademark action* colleague in room 6D210. How the ladies in 6D224 have mood swings and the evil ladies in office 6D262. oh and not to forget the chinese lady in 6D331 how speaks with an indian accent.
When i went to marina square today for some shopping, so many things have already been taken down. The security screening area infront of the bridge, the metal fencings. It was as if the whole event disappeared from history overnight. an article on CNA reports that suntec singapore gave a statement saying that "the event has left an indelible impression". oh so true i must say.
But the best thing is that i have the chance to work with so many of my friends, even those in year one and a few from LRM and CCM. The experience and feeling is different. The times we go mad and sleepy together and talked crap to keep ourselves awake. The LMO and GPS, the drinking tea and taking pastries from the kitchen to snack on. ~indelible~
I love taking a cab at 5am in the morning, when most of the world around me is sleeping, we are already on the move from home to work. The flying own east coast park express way with little vehicles on the road, the view outside the window peacefully dark, with the only source of light given by the lamposts. At times some crazy people can be seen jogging at east coast park.
