of Acquaintance-ship.

Acquaintance-ship is tooooo transient its... pathetic? :(
Why do I feel so sad when my job has ended; as my new friend bidded goodbye, boarded the escalator upwards but never ever turned back.
Maybe its just how I treasure the process of meeting new people. We all begin on a fresh clean slate, but the many flaws within me makes me a tad guilty whenever they only see the cheerful smily outer appearance of AY.
The many acquaintances Ive met through this suntec event are special.  This is one of the few suntec events that Ive come alone. All of them asked why I joined alone? -> because my friends prefer other jobs. Isnt it sian? -> No, as I pointed to 2 girls from across the table. My new friends!  And. I know, when it begins to cloud their impression when they hear that Im from NUS... When they discovered their fellow schoolmate from NTU USP, a guy replied that he feels so stupid beside her...
noooooooooo, it aint like this.

New people are so interesting. This very talkative guy is the first guy in many years to have talked to me. I have few male Friends from NUS. I don't know why I feel that he might be different back home, or when studying or when dealing with other situations. Being this jovial inquisitive and happygolucky 24/7 is too tiring. I feel that it could be a façade? Just my gut feel. I may be wrong.
There were 2 very nice girls who befriended me and we exchanged numbers, so that we could meet to report for work together on the 2nd day. I was very touched how strangers could care so much for another stranger.
And as I talked to more people, I realised there are in fact quite a number from NUS. Those from NUS, probably more introverted, shy, obscured, such that I thought no one except me was from NUS... I felt old, but the two guys were older than me. Haha. Has it come to a point where age matters to me?
I will miss such impromptu opportunities where I meet new people from all walks of life. I love meeting new people, so much so that I wished I had gone for SEP with lesser NUS schoolmates. Its so interesting to meet people and explore how people might behave and everything!
:)
I love my job somehow. A lot.
But, I know those acquaintances wont ponder as much as I do over acquaintanceship. They'd forget me. But I'll remember these people.
Oh, did I mention the auntie wearing 10cm long shorts, throwing all our bags out of the metal cage (just to retrieve her own) and crawling into the cage (witnessed by my friend) just to do so?
Haha.
But I cannot help controlling the bittersweet feeling through meeting new people.
