April - November 2010

Many things happened from April 2010 - November 2010.

1) I went for Spanish classes, total of 120 hours... but now i still speak like a 2 yrs old or worse..
2) Obtained my PR in Spain
3) Got myself a job (very happy as 4 million of Spaniards are jobless and here I am working)
4) Still apart from my hubby but traveling regularly to see each other
5) Planning for the big day...

6) The worst thing, I lost a friend...

I used to work with S and she has never been a close friend nor colleague. However, when I moved to Spain, she has been the one visiting me, twice indeed, in one year, as her job allows her to obtain very affordable tickets... She first came in March and the last time I saw her was in November.

In November, she arrived on my husband's birthday, and we both went shopping for food and drinks, as I have invited my cousins in law for dinner. We were both going crazy in the kitchen cooking & laughing our asses off, and we even made sangria. Then we arranged for another meet up one night before she left where we talked so much about life, like how happy she is for me, and what she is looking for in life... She even told me she had bought a dress to wear to my wedding although her leave from her employer was not approved yet.


2/3 weeks later, my brother called me in the morning and said "girl, I've got bad news for you".. First thing which came to my mind, "did something happen to someone"? as it was so close to my wedding day. And he said "your friend died in a car crash at 3am"... I was like, knowing my brother, "hahhaa very funny" ... I stopped laughing and said "are you serious?" and yes it is true...

I have lost a friend, just like that, a friend which I had so much fun with when I was all alone in this country without anyone from my own country... She wanted to see her grandma who was in Penang, who was about to go for an operation, but instead, she didn't get to see her grandma, and lost her own life instead - due to the mistake of the other driver who came back for his semester break and drove on the wrong side of the road... FHL!

Until today, I cannot forget her, and I ask myself, "if it's so difficult for me, what would it be like for her family members???" So guys, please treasure those around you and also yourself as you will never know what will happen to you the next day!

R.I.P my friend... I miss you!
