There are too many memories to pick to say that one is my absolute favourite, but I definitely have a few that make me laugh every time I recall them.
I think the earliest one was by my first dog, Daisy, who as a puppy, would raise her hind legs as she had her meal. It was a really odd sight to see a dumpy little ball of fur, walk to her food bowl, start eating and then end up eating while doing a handstand. Then one day she did it but ended up losing her balance and flip over instead. And she just rolled over, got up and continued with her routine like nothing happened.
Then came Eddie, who actually got me embarrassed with what he did, but it only makes me laugh now as I cannot help but shake my head at the nonsense he did in school. I was walking on the 4th floor of the school building, talking with someone when next thing I heard was this familiar nickname that only one person ever used in school. Thinking that he was just around the corner, I was looking for him till someone pointed out that the shouting was coming from the parade ground. Then when I finally popped my head over, I see him smiling like andidiot, and waving like he hasn't seen me for a long time - and to think we were classmates then.
Another one came from Adi, and it was in the days when we were working in Park Mall. She just started and I was contemplating leaving. I forgot for what reason or what actually triggered the whole thing, but Adi did some dance, and it had something to do with a bear scratching it's back on the tree. But I forgot who was the bear, and who was the tree, but the dance definitely remains.
Next up is the one with Amy in Bangkok, which was bad in a way, but good as well, as it was one trip that really had a lasting memory. It was the time we went to Dreamland in Bangkok, and not knowing I was standing on the snowman sculpture, instead of a mound of artificial snow, I ended up slipping and falling really hard on my butt. The pain was excruciating and it didn't end there, yet we managed to complete the whole trip and enjoy everything we planned.
Then rather recently was just little bits and pieces, little things people did or said that I found really sweet. One was because I actually slipped and fell at work, and I think YC was trying to make me feel better about it by telling me stories of all his dramatic falls over the years working in the company. From his horrific-sounding 2-storey fall, to his pinball-style fall down a slope, it definitely made me laugh even though my butt was hurting once again.
There was also the one from Eddie when he said he would meet me even if I smelled like chao tou fu, just because I took longer than expected to meet him at the hawker centre at my place. So I was sick and I can't go out feeling all yucky and sweaty, but that little text message did put a big smile on my face.
Another one was actually surprising as I never thought my current manager would be so encouraging and helpful. During the time while I was confused as what to do for the course that the company had signed me up for and just sent out text messages for a bit of help, he was the only one to respond and actually gave something useful. Then even though I joked about going mad, he actually sent an encouraging note that the course would end soon. It was then I realised I actually had a rather cool boss. Hahaha!
