flowers, polar bear....
on Monday (25 April) afternoon, our Boss 's PA instructed us to see the boss just before we knock-off.
Expect her to give us some instructions regarding work matters but it turn out that she bought flowers for us as this week is Secretaries' Week. She said that even though we are not her secretaries, she still want to thank us for supporting ( as in jobscope) her and the company. * So nice of her*.
Here is the pic of my small bouquet of flower (initially).
Heh, now u must be wondering why i used the word "initially", as on the 2nd day, I started sneezing and then suspect the
purple small flowers are
lavender , which i am
ALLERGIC to.
* yeah, I like Lavender colour but am allergic to Lavender flowers. Such irony!*Got my colleague to smell them for me and she confirmed that. Will look bad if I plucked away all the lavender, so my colleague exchanged her small white flowers ( baby breath?) with my lavenders. Hence our bouquets look different from the rest.
As for events happened yesterday (Tue, 26 Apr), well... it's kinda hectic, but fun. Missed my ex-colleagues and friends so much. Upon reaching their office, they asked me to meet them at the canteen. Just when I open the door, and spotted them sitting right across at the far end of the canteen, they were like shouting my name and cheering. Caused such commotions that people from other tables turned ard to take a look. *paiseh*. Yet some of them still jokingly pretend that they are rolling out red carpet for me. *Shake head*.
But then, really missed all their craziness. U can't expect my present colleagues to do these type of stuff.
Bought some egg tarts and kuehs for them. Didn't manage to buy ham-chin-pengs as the stall was closed. Guess they like the egg tarts most, for they finished the whole box in the canteen.
They then took me to tour the Blu-inc ( the subsidiary that publishes Torque, Female , 女友....) new office ( Blue-inc ppl are going to shift into their premises on Friday) . Their office are more modern-looking and brightly lit.
Went back to thier office and "ah-ka" gave me this:
So cute! A glass-blown polar bear. They know how I love polar bears and I had collected almost all the polar bear soft toys from the "TY" series. "Ah-ka" was saying that she was walking ard China Square and saw this polar bear and was like thinking
" it's so (my name)!". So bought it for me immediately. So sweet of her!
Took a glance at their office cubicles, and noticed they had put up more toys on display. Missed their lively , unique "spaces" too!
Remembered what i wrote abt what this auntie colleague did to her cubicle when my partner and I were away? ( see the part regarding 11 april from this URL:

so ugly right? What a far cry from my ex-colleagues cubicles......
