had my dnd today and i promised that I'll reached by 630pm so that I can grab the parking coupon. Knowing that parking charges @ Swissotel is er..atrocious. Who knows due to some turn of events and the friday jam, i only managed to reach by er. close to 8pm and by the time i arrived, all the parking coupons have been fully grabbed.
Having known that the parking charges are super expensive, i actually told the head of my company's recreation club (who's also the overall organiser of the whole dnd) that if she happens to be given extra. Please do remember me and pass me 1. But she told me "she will be very busy the whole night because she will have to run around. But she will try." Seriously when she told me that i understood her situation. Of course i know, to be the leader to head the whole dnd for 30+ tables, making sure everything runs smoothly. I won't blame her if she forgets or even if she distributes any additions to the management head.
Well midway through the DND, she came to my table personally and actually passed the coupon. and it saved my day because when i left, the parking charges came up to a whopping $15. In fact what i am trying to get at is this:
For just a colleague, whom i have spoken less than 10 times to. Seeing her in office is a hi-bye. Yet when i told her this that "please remember to pass me 1 coupon if you have extra." and she can remember this. Despite her busy-ness of running the whole show the night, yet she came right to my table and handed me the coupon. It really made me feel appreciated. It really made me feel that at least someone remembers me. Someone whom I am not even close to actually be so sweet to me yet some people whom i've always regarded to as a "family" can actually stab me right in the heart. It's really a world of difference.. really...
