" Gratitude "

It marks 16 months of great memories in U... I have fun, wrath, fed up, tears, learning & most importantly a group of colleagues & managers that really kind & take k of me.

When i first joined, it was only 3 of us. I'm reporting to Ed. A long winded manager, but willing to share his knowledge. Punctuality is important. I've never late more than 15mins when under him. We seldom eat expensive food, sometimes even skip lunch. Save a lot of money & maintaining my weight that time...

A colleague resigned within 24hrs and we take over his account. Everything changed since then. Was a tough time for me. And even want to resign but Ed ask me to stay.

I was brought to this little corner (below pic) by M, as claimed that's our Brain Storming Corner on the first day. Hahaha... its a little table in front of a Nescafe vending machine. We bought a cup of 70sen coffee, browsing magazine & newspaper. And start whining... Lol.

20th Dec 2011 was my last working day & my farewell dinner. It was suggested by muslim collegues to dine at Santini KLCC but in the end they didnt turn up. None of them! Its really disappointed. They never inform or a goodbye hug, at least. Or else, we will go some Chinese restaurant rather than here. Not cheap, food was so so only.

And this is my new manager who just joined March 2011. Never ever got cheated by his look. He is a very funny & hamsap manager. Hahahaha... Opps... I mean he looks like a good guy which never lie or talk about anything "yellow". But too bad, it's the opposite. But still he is a very smart & capable person which i think P trust him a lot too, after Ed. My excel learn from him :)

And, on the day before.... i was being called to go into the Head of dept's room. He has been always a gentleman, a caring boss and always tease me. He gave me confident (by telling me i'm beautiful, hahahaha). I knew he was trying to console me, coz i knew his standard of Lenglui will never be so low.

He take out a small Mac store paperbag & pass to me. I never expect any farewell gift from him hence i rejected without have a look on the gift. He looking at me very serious, and tell me that "It's very bad to reject ppl's gift. When ppl buy u a gift, you should accept it." I open the paper bag & it's an Apple product. I dont know what the hell is that, coz i dun think its polite to check on the gift. I still reject and explain that i dun1 an expensive good. I will feel uneasy to accept an expensive gift either from parents or bf. Then i cried. WTF.

He paused. Passed me the tissue and apologize. He never thought this would make me cried/sad. He said he feel bad for the incident happened last year. There was a lucky draw in the office last year during Christmas, my name was being called & won a Sony Ericsson handphone. But i was out for a meeting with him & Ed, hence my hp being forfeited :(

He feel guilty and promise to buy a phone for me that time, i rejected. All i thought is, HE MUST BE JOKING. AND HOW CAN I SAY YES? BOSS MUST THOUGHT IMMA GREEDY FAT PIG ! I was so sad for a week you know. I should have won the hp....

I offer to pay at least half price of the product (OMG, im so cheap skate). He said "Money is not important for me, and i hope you like the gift. I dont want to see this on my table. You can give to Roy or your friends. I just dont want to see it on my table. It's a gift to you".

Waaaa..... macam Taiwanese drama. I cried lagi teruk.

Then, he finally put a smile on face. Joke that why he looks like a BF sedang pujuk gf to accept the gift. I keep shaking my head and nod my head with tears on my face ._______. His last note is, "Dont make it public, dont let others know about this gift".

I quickly hide this in my drawer. Luckily manager didnt saw it. But he & colleagues saw i cried. They thought its a motivation conversation in the room. Hahaha...

Have i reveal what's the gift ? A 2nd generation of the tablet :)

Next week start working in a brand new environment. Arghhhh.... no more yumcha during working hrs. No more FB, no more shopping, no more free unlimited data & calls, no free lunch, just work work work.... even in weekend T.T

Lastly, a troll face dedicated to my readers. HAHAHAHHAHA... Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
