the name u left behind and anything

" When a snake leaves, it left behind its skin.
When a man leaves, he left behind his name."

Forgot to add this to the last post. This is what Uncle Glenn emphasised to me that day when I told him abt a friend's experience had make me realised that even though one is leaving the company, he/ she should continue to a good job till the last day of service. Would rather left behind a good impression that a bad one, right.

Furthermore, with "the Ex" reporting to my office weeks later for a project, I definitely would not want people to complain abt me to him if they came to know that we sort of knew each other. I'd prefer the other way round and it'd create "pressure" for him to perform. hahahaha

Frankly speaking, after the past few days of working late to clear work (and mostly not my work but backlogs), i couldn't help feeling upset even though I know I am doing the right thing cos some had mentioned that I do not need to work so hard since I was leaving (hint to me not to "spoil market"). Spites from the jealous colleague don't seems to help too. It was the first time I ever encountered with one's jealousy. (It became rather obvious when she purposely said that my new workstation is like a toilet cubicle, purposely chose to eat crackers for lunch when the other colleagues plan a get-together lunch for me before I leave the office; even her wishes for me was a "make more money" with a sarcastic tone. ) Thanks to Uncle Glenn's teaching, I was assured that I had done the right thing.

Bought 2 cans of "Anything" just for fun. My brother was lucky, the can of "anything" which I passed to him just happened to be "cola", while mines was "root beer". (my bro prefer coke to root beer).

Initially I wondered who is the manufacturer. My guess was some big company , perhaps F&N, as they seems to have a huge advertising budget. Don't u feel that 'anything " and "whatever" ads are everywhere --- from bus tops ads to printed ads on newspaper, TV ads , radio ads. I told my ex-colleagues, that the first thing i will do when i came across shop selling them was to check out the info regarding the manufacturer. Turn out that the manufacturer is "Heng Seng" (if i remember it correctly :P) . Not some big player which most of us had thought.

Was telling my friends next time if people asked them what would they want to have as their birthday presents, they cannot say : "anything ". cos friends now will have the excuse to buy cans of "anything " as yr birthday gift.

by the way, wonder if you have check out their web page www.anything.com.sg
