events 4-6 Feb
Actually wanted to write longer entry, but dun have the time. Was busy spring cleaning and rather tired.
Friday 4 Feb
Went to my friend's dad's wake in the evening. Could see that she was visibly tired and 憔悴. Admired her for being able to put on a brave front. (there are some others reflections I had, but for her privacy sake, I shan't mention publicly in this blog)
It was nice meeting seeing my ex-colleagues again, (but weird when my ex-boss came down).
Any i receive another card signed by my darling colleagues. Yeah i totally didn't expect it. They seems to sign the card after I left.
Here's the card (can't scanned the full inner page as when it opened up, it is larger than the width of A4 paper)
In case you can't view what they wrote, here are their comments/wishes:
"au the best. 加油! -- Nicco"
"the office seems quieter without you. Miss working with you already... Keep in Touch! -- Wyn-lyn"
"We'll miss you and all your "S?????-ness". All the best in your new workplace -- Rebeckka"
"All the best in your new career path. Welcome to a new world! -- Alvin"
"Ah Shui, already miss you liao-- (from another Ah Shui)"
"Take care and all the best to you -- Amy"
"I'm weeping. Missing you. All the best-- Pauline"
"How's your new job? Hope you're fine. We miss having a leader to decide where to have lunch. Good luck and we miss u -- Peter Yeo"
"Hi I'm a beaver, a purple GAY beaver! I am here to bid farewell to you... from Denise R LOWEM"
Hai... so sweet of them right? 真得有点让我受宠若惊. 读完他们的记语后,有点想要哭.....(was reading it only when i reached home).
Really missed them. Miss this bunch of lively people. Missed the familiar calls of "ah Shui". (we called each other "ah Shuai" at times). Miss all their unique desktops with all sorts of soft toys and decorations.
Yah.. in my new workplace, I am the youngest, and there is only one in my department who is ard the same age as me. So a bit sian. And scared I'll turn "auntie" ( cos so many aunties ard).
We also talked a bit abt that farewell dinner at Muchuan. Some were curious at who Jianhua was pointing at when he sang "祝福". And I told them abt the course I am taking up. They mentioned they will go down there again me if I am going to sing on stage. Haha but I am not intending to go for any auditions.
Sat 5 Feb
Had to specially go back to my old workplace to teach the person taking over me. She claimed that she dunno a lot of things and need me to help. Boh pian, my ex-boss ahd already the raised the staff requisition form and informed HR that I will be coming down on sat. And she sort of "reminded" me at the wake yesterday. Grhhhhh.
Actually lot's of things, she can explore by herself, and asking around, It seems to me that she never take the initiative to ask. She seems to keep to herself as i was shocked when i mentioned abt my departmnet designers, ans she claimed that she don't even know who are the 3 designers and 2 writers in our department!!!!! ( it was ard a week already, how can she not know?).
I was quite pissed off as i felt that I had wasted my time going there. Lots of things I had mentioned to her on the last day of my service. And she don't even bother to read our magazine to find out what are the different columns we have. Yet she being a first time Mac user, can know how to upload her songs to itunes.......
Was I being too harsh to judge her this way? I wondered..... ( nah, i didn't scold her , but silently i really want to scream at her for not taking initiative). Another ex-colleague who came back to do OT was also surprised that i was "recalled" back for work....It was unneccesary.
Met up with Wenxin for a quick dinner, then bought my matress and pillow protective sheet, and then headed down to KBox for a round of karaoke. Haha tried out the new songs, but were quite unfamiliar with them. Then went on to try out the male singers' songs and then event went to try out oldies and xinyao.
*So Sips, are you organising another round?*
Oh yah, I might have a chance to view the Chingay live!. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Will mention abt my new working environment probably at next posting instead.
