Je fais de toi mon essentiel

My 2nd last day at work.

Colleagues came to tell me yesterday to come earlier today. I knew why, cos' they've done it for the other 'Singaporean' colleagues before me. A farewell breakfast. What surprised me was that they also told me they had something in mind to get for me, have been thinking about it for a week already but they didn't know if I would like it. So they decided to just ask me. So cute hor? :) They want to buy me a ticket to a musical 'Le Roi Soleil', which is about Louis XIV, the most powerful king in the history of French Monarchy. There was a French song I liked very much by a group called 'Le Roi Soleil' and I didn't know it was the same group (or troupe as they say in French) that is doing the musical. They knew of the song I liked and so the reason for thinking of buying me a ticket. So very sweet and thoughtful of them! I told them I would love it and as long as they don't spend too much for it. My colleague, Eric smiled and said (in French), ca c'est pas ton probleme.

We had a nice breakfast of pain au chocolat, brioche au chocolat and pain au raisins plus juices, tea and coffee. I felt really sad though. I didn't feel so sad before today. The petit dejeuner just drove home the fact that tomorrow's my last day and I may never see my colleagues again. Sighz... All good things must come to an end. Is that it? :'(

They gave me a card, signed by everyone in the building (Except my supervisor. Said he would give me a post-it to stick in my card. Ha! His trademark! :D Everything on post-its!). And in the envelope, there was a ticket to the musical. And a CD by Le Roi Soleil. With all the songs in the musical. They told me to listen carefully to the cd before I go for the musical so I could better understand.

2 of my female colleagues are going with me for the musical. :)

I am so gonna miss them!!! Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

Not looking forward to tomorrow.

But since I will not be leaving Paris immediately, I would come back to see them again before I go. And make a cake and some finger food for them when I come back.
