New Year Eve

Yesterday was 31st Dec 2008... The last day of the year before 2009 arrived.
It was a "sad" farewell to 2 of my colleagues whom I really get to know better through playing table tennis. We organised a farewell lunch for them since it was also half day for the company.

When we reached Novena, one of the colleagues want to buy 2 gifts at the very last minute on that day. Me and SB accompanied this colleague Zeya to search all over the places in the shopping mall and finally he make a choice to get 2 thumbdrives of 8GB. Then he went to one of the stationary shops for the presents to be wrapped up and bought 2 cards.. Haha.. his expression seem so serious and worried when he choose the gift because I seldom see such expression on him as he is a "Joker" to us. All these took about 30min...
We arrived at the Peranankan eating house near Novena and were "late by 30min" because of the last minute gift.

The food was nice and to my liking at least. I can see on their faces that they seem so
happy and positive even though they lost their jobs... At least, this is also one good things
which I can learn from them... Be positive and optimistic in life no matter what happen..
Easier said than done but I am sure we will all overcome these tough times ahead...

To be honest, I really hope I am the one who was asked go and not them.
Because I super hate my leader and his attitude towards work. Pissed....
(No doubt I keep telling myself not to hate anyone in 2009 and "forgive them" - OMG)
Why does the company have to treat them like that just because of this economic crisis?
In such bad times, certain number of people have to be "sacrificed" in order for the company
and others to survive. Yet why is it always the "good and nice" people the one who have
to suffer such fate? I still feel so unfair and unjust for them to leave.
But on the other positive side, I am sure they will succeed anywhere in other company
because they are very capable and got the ability to overcome these obstacles...

Lastly, I really enjoy knowing the 2 of you. Although the times spend with you guys was short,
but I will remember and keep those memories in my heart always.
I truly wish them all the best and hope to stay in touch with them (Mr Sin Chee & Roger)
Take care too... Happy New Year...
May both of you find your new jobs soon and hopefully if got lobang, I might also
joined you guys soon. Cheers ^_^
