Last day in office.....

Mich~
My last day was till 10pm+. I spent time handing over stuff to ed, resolving system bugs, packing my stuff, saying goodbyes, hugging each other, etc.. .sigh..In the time, everything ended at 10pm+...was too tired to think about anything on my way out.
Poor ed, I could feel his stress when I was handing over work to him....but anyway, I told him I would still be contactable..no problem about it.
When I headed home in the cab, I felt a sense of relief and loss. Relief that this hectic day was over, loss that I made my final exit out of the office building. No matter how, this was the place I stayed on for so many years, and I do miss some of the people and stuff here. Memories, both happy and sad ones, are shared here in this building with so many people. Will I be back? Hard to say.....only time will tell.
As I moved on, I hope to bring the lessons learnt and fond memories with me. Yeah.....
Cecilia and Syimah: Gonna miss our lunch outings days, gossiping sessions, and chit-chat hour at table 8. You guys are wonderful, hope to see u again real soon.....

Packing on a Sunday...

Mich~

I went back to office to do some packing today...It has been ages since I went back to office on a weekend. Somehow, the usual route I travelled everyday seemed very foreign to me all of a sudden. On my way there, I was trying very hard to grasp all the scenes in my mind, for fear of not capturing the images in my memory. Why? Maybe because I knew I would not have much chance to take this usual morning journey in the near future...and I needed to remember all the trees, roads, road signs, directions, etc for the last few moments.

Office was peacefully quiet, with only 2 security guards manning the counter. Lazy sunday afternoon, everything seemed to move slower too.....:) Even the carpark was not working on my way out....and I had to call for intercom help.

I took about one hour to pack...about 80% done already.......personal items accumulated over the last 7 years..it was no easy task to pack and decide which items to discard or keep.

This is a little peek into my office desk....look at the mess...

Does this looks better?

It looks much neater after the packing....(u think so? or still very messy?) OMG...

This time, I really need to say goodbye...and my things need to go....

Tom & Mich decided to pamper ourselves on this day...special day for ah tom...31 years ago, he was brought to mother earth.

We went to Lei Garden for a dinner.....it turned out that we left with no regrets, anticipating more the next time we come back.

Food was sumptuous and pleasantly nice...I especially liked the lobster vermicelli cooked in a claypot recommended by the manager...yummy!! The steamed tofu, cut into thin paper-like slices, offers a healthy alternative to deep fried foods. Not bad, for something light and smoothing......

The fried ee-fu noodles was rather disappointing though, as I thought the noodles had a burnt smell......hmmn :(

Sorry for the lack of photos, as blur tom & mich forgot to bring their camera along...

What were our verdict at the end of the day? Worth a visit to this restaurant, as the place serves authentic cantonese cuisine, offers good service and a nice peaceful ambience to spend your evening away.....

Tom loves it...of course lah, his special day, so must plan something pleasant for him...

We promised to come back for more next time......

* pricey though....as we paid about $120 for a soup, 3 dishes and 2 desserts.....

* suggest to go there only for special occasions.....keke...pardon me.

Changes coming along

Mich~

Sometimes, it is funny that when it comes to the crunch to making a decision, it doesnt seem difficult at all. I was surprised myself too, at how composed and calm I would be...not quite worried. Previously, there were instances of sleepless nights, deliberations, talking to a friend, deep thinking....All this while, I have been procrastinating decision-making, for fear of changes and uncertainties that would come along.

Perhaps it is time to move on, as time and tide waits for no man. Hopefully, changes would be for the better.
