A friendship made in Singapore



Sincerity begets sincerit
3 months ago, I barely know these 2 ladies.

If there's one thing I know about them it's just their names, NOTHING MORE.

After 6 days from our first day of work, we were sent abroad for training.  And these 2 were my roomies.




one of the many bonding moments
    
Though I know that I will be able to make friends with them, I thought that 3 months is quick to pass through the get to know you stage,  It is short to gain someone's trust coming from a total stranger.

Everyday was a new day for me to learn something new from my roomies.  Surprisingly, the 3 months which I thought was short was just enough to know them both.  




 
With sincerity and openness from each other, we passed the get to know each other stage.

We were different in many ways yet we find the means to compromise and have learned acceptance.

We have common traits yet we manage not to clash and have learned to give and take.
 



I have always believed that it takes time to know someone and takes time before you can consider someone your friend.  But these 2 just proved me wrong.

The training is over, but our friendship is just starting.  And I will always be grateful for the opportunity that I had not just to travel and be trained but the opportunity to meet new people and gain friends.

 
    
I have mentioned this before, and I will mention this again.  What happened in Singapore will remain with me always..  Cheers to the girls of 1704 and to more years of friendship.
