It has been almost two months here and I’ve attended the “FAREWELL” celebration for both my manager and my AVP..Yeah you’re right. Both of my bosses are leaving.. Infact one already left yesterday. Pretty shocking news for me once I was being informed last month when I first joined the company that my manager had tendered last mth! Well, it’s alright since I still have an AVP to lead but however during end of the mth, we were being called one by one into the room by my AVP. He was announcing a bad news to us, which is he’d resigned! Again! Déjà vu. …Chain reaction or what? I have no idea.. =(
All of us were pretty down n sad as I heard from my colleagues saying that he’s a vry good and understanding boss. Though I only know him for short while, I do agree with the statement made by my colleagues. He is indeed a vry good boss to work with..but too bad. No luck for me to learn from him, as he is vry experienced esp. in my fave field called CF.
It was 13th June; again we headed to Gohtong Jaya for dinner …. Like the food there a lot..vry nice environment and food as well J .. Later we proceed with karaoke session, which is a party all nite long event hahaha y I say so? Well, don’t worry I’ll tell those later. A colleague was back from Macau and she bought Chivas Whisky… then my AVP brought from home a Martell Cognac, and we have sponsor who contributed 2 bottles of red wines.. So what can u expect except a party all nite long event with drinking and singing session?
Got the chance to meet up few ex-colleagues as well as ex- resorts planning seniors, some transferred to other dept and got promoted, some resigned ventured into other industry, some flown to Macau working for competitor. It was a great outing as we laughed a lot with jokes and silly talks. We did try out the durian “chiew pai” (reminds me of Sze’s mum: Chiew Pai Mee, Hehehehe) ice cream. Then only we realised oh S**t … we have to go for liquor later… I’m sure that you do hear of stories of how ppl died bcos of eating durian n drinking liquor.. we were so scared then ..but lucky all survived! Maybe the % of durian for the ice cream is so insignificant or our body system resisted those reactions well hehehe …think if keep thinking on this forever we wont be able to get the answer..

We had a small but grand gift presentation to show our appreciations to both. Bought them a wallet each and we had a custom-made farewell cards just for them. We got a Royale 007 with my AVP as the agent as the theme for his card, and we got a Shrek for my manager…hahaha we were laughing like mad when seeing his reaction after he got his card. He said of all the expectations after signing the nice 007 card for my AVP, he didn’t expect himself to get a SHREK! Hahahaha …he was like … unexplainable his reaction but funny…
Well well well…. “Party” started at 9pm and we were late cos we gotta go back office to get our previous liquors hahaha… for the first time and for once, I was drunk..Imagine we have less than 10 people and we managed to empty 1bottle of whisky and 1 bottle of Cognac? Unbelievable! Well again the main drinkers are the honour guests of the nite, both my AVP and manager. Both of them were vry drunk I would say. I was drunk when the clock ticked at 2am but by the time we were leaving at 4++am, I was conscious… but during the two hours all of us sang and danced like we were really in a party…hahaha …had a great and fun nite but the next morning both my colleague and I gotta woke up and reported to work at 9pm.. Can u imagine?? Both my AVP and manager only shown up later after lunch Hahahaha.. Then we were so tired and we clocked out early went back to our room and zzzz …..

at least yours is just two senior ppl leaving, over the past 3 weeks since i came back from kl, 5 senior ppl in my dept have announced their imminent departures, so shocking yet worrying hehe. it's one of the hottest topics during drinks session - who will leave next? lol. then again according to more experienced colleagues, high turnover is very common in consultancies and it might even be 'healthy' for the dept. we'll see hehe...
when i was home, my family and my neighbour's used to go for dinners, in the course consuming at least 4 bottles of red wine hehe. my parents noticed me, my sis and bro are getting too good in drinking that they're slightly worried in case we become 'jau gwai' hahaha.
