Last night I attended my farewell dinner gathering with my colleagues... or should I say ex colleagues...
We went to Soul garden @ Marina Square. I think the last time I ate at Soul Garden was like 6 years ago. It was during our secondary school times when Soul Garden became very popular to students. I still remember that we would always reward ourselves with a big feast at Soul after our exams. It was a place to eat and chat, but only alittle oily and smokey though.
Anyway last night I realized that I didn't ate much. The choices of food were still the same, as compared to 6 years ago, with all the different types of marinated meat and frozen ingredients for the steamboat. I guess probably the kind of variety they have no longer appeal to me anymore. Baby even told me that his friend who once worked in Soul Garden recommended not to eat there, not stating the reason, just said that the food weren't as fresh and clean as we expected.
However, I still enjoyed myself last night, and appreciate that they organized this farewell for me, and thank them for their gifts...2 cute dresses! ;)
My buddies Nila & Myrna =)

All my colleagues + me!
Whenever I leave a company, I will feel happy and sad, happy because I don't have to work for my fu*king boss anymore, sad becuase I won't be able to work with my colleagues anymore. To some people, colleagues are just strangers whom they are stucked working with everyday. But to me, colleagues are like my family(at least for majority of them), a close family member whom you work side by side, shoulder by shoulder for at least 44 hours a week. It is inevitable that bonds grow between us, and that they become part of our lives... They are like our gossip partner, our chatting buddy, our confider, our friend..
I don't like the idea that we no longer contact each other anymore after one leaves the company, and that we will only meet "some day", when we bump into each other on the roads or in some shopping mall. Its like all of a sudden, we turn into strangers again... Isn't that very sad and pathetic? So I make it a point to meet my closer ex-colleagues once in awhile, may it be for shopping, or for a coffee & tea session.
With my farewell dinner with The Orientalist, my life embarks on a new journey... new job, new colleagues, new working environment, new boss... I hope all will go smoothly for me, and my sales will meet my minimun quota every month!
Oh... this reminds me that my birthday is tomorrow, and my holiday will be over in a few days time.... so fast!!
