goodbye seems to be the hardest word !

Let's do some soul searching here.

Picture this.....you are getting married tomorrow and today you are summoned by MACC as a witness, mind you not by cops but by officers from the MACC regarding your work. It's been a long day of questioning and you're tired and also stressed-out thinking of your big day in the morrow. No matter how close, good or bad your boss is, would you write a "suicide note" ( remember even you didn't know you wanted to commit suicide !) to your fiance'/wife-to-be or to your parents or to your best friend or to your boss ?

Every evening after work, my boss and I wish each other pleasantries like good night or have a nice evening or even GOOD BYE !!! Does this mean that one of us, no matter how stressed-out we are after a hard days' work, is planning not to see each other in the morning or even planning to kill ourselves tonight ? But as in the above imaginary scenario in para 1, even if I actually wanted to kill myself....my boss will be the last person I would write a "suicide note" to.....hey....I'm getting married in the morning....remember ?

You go figure out why you would even write a "suicide note" to your boss .....and tell me, does this even ( full story here ) sounds like a suicide note ?


Goodbye !

just wondering if the young chinese
female translator was FORCED to use
'selamat tinggal' in stead of "jumpa
lagi" for the simple 'Zai jian' which
means 'see you again (later)' !!!!!!!!!!!
The 'note' tells the whole world that it TIDAK indicate 'suicide' at all !!!!!!!!!
