Thanks for posting this thread, you made my fingers tipping on the keyboard again!
Hello singkit! Thank you for your contribution, quite a long one and was good to hear your experience ... My aim is for anyone is to think back and think now - compare- sort of a self-reflection

-First, gaining weight is normal , as long as you're happy and contented with it - stay as you are - just consider the health risk 'thing'[.

-Oh same here, I love Fish and Chips! /COLOR]
-Perhaps your manager more like to hear you in British accent .
-And making friends, I don't find that easy either ... and I gave up looking ... ... there are so many reasons why acquaintances remain as that ... hmmm,

But I hope you find one ... you come out to be a nice person and genuine. Just be very careful and be very choosy as well. It takes a long to find a friend, real friend.

Many thanks for sharing singkit and have lovely day!
