Dedicated Specially to.....ISABEL NG!!

Haha...The girl on the left is Isabel (Hallo Isa!). We work together, though she's a designer. She's graduated from LaSalle this year's May, and joined us in July. In fact, she's the latest and youngest addition to 4B Murray...Yap she's really young, all but 21 years of age this year.

Looks sweet doesn't she? (Sorry guys, she's taken...and happily so)! She has a really nice personality too; very accomodating. Although there are times that she may seem a little "dory fish" (aka blur...hey, Sharon Wong's children call her that too ok?), she goes right out of her way to help others. Basically, a girl you would want to bring home to show your mom, knowing that your mom would love her to death. *hehe*

She gets along fantastically well with everyone else, and we all certainly like her. I was telling Amy that Isa may come across ditzy sometimes, but that itself is one of her strength too. She brightens up the place with her antics and lovable traits (definitely all good things), and our office is never dull when she's around.

She sits behind me in office (sort of), and I think to a certain extent, that has probably helped cultivate a kind of bond between us. All things big and small, whether it's work or non-work related, we would gossip and update each other. And following that, Amy would participate in the conversations. At other times, Lena and Tricia would shout from their corners and join in too when they aren't too busy.

Hey Isa, it's really been nice to know you. Really...I know there are times when I er..."bully" you and make jokes out of you (but you too of me), you know I really don't mean them ok (unless it's work)? Though it's only been a short three months to date, I think I can safely say that we will be friends till the end of time (unless you don't want me le...). The things we have had gone through together, the good and the bad times, in fact, have only served to strengthen the bonds we share with each other. Remember NTUC Thrift and FMC? *chuckles*...And yes, there are more on the way - think Cindy's overseas trip in Nov/Dec...but yes, I do remember the fun (& hilarious) times of "you learning English" and "me learning design". And that brings to mind another important point; each of us has our own unique and different strengths, so don't be overwhelmed or think others as being better. You definitely have what it takes - Just have more confidence, and believe in yourself...like how all of us believe in you. As friends, I do know that I can trust you and that you can be there for me if ever I need...We definitely can ride out any storms together. Even though my words sound strange and should be uttered to you by Aaron, I truly mean what I say *hee* You know, the day I leave and move on, the one thing I would lament the most would be leaving such a wonderful bunch of people behind....every single one. *sniff*

Isa and me...
