My buddy is a 50 year old indian lady. we get along very well despite our age difference. she’s fun, friendly, young at heart, loud and a auntie ! she always threaten to hang our IT guy upside down. haha !
I met my ex-colleagues last night and they are surprise to see that i am happy. I didnt realised i was that unhappy at PLE.. I can feel the spring in my steps every morning on the way to work ! i havnet had that since i left NE.
Looking foward to more happy days in school

i had dinner with 2 of my ex-colleague last night and it made me realised how much i missed them, esp Trista.
i heard lotsa stories after i left the company; mgmt saying minying can’t 吃苦 (hahaha, i had to goggle translate to chinese ); girl bad-mouthing me; tears in office and unhappy colleagues.
i am so so glad to put that all behind me.
there are things i definitely missed about my ex-company. the free flow packet milo in the fringe, interaction with customers (even though its smt i hate as well), BK hot coffee and the people.
so sweet ! the girls are using the lunch bag that i got for them 🙂
often wonder did i make the incorrect decision not joining the happy family? what if and what would.
guess i would never find out.
– G
*deep breath*
i know its coming, in fact, postponed it from 23 jan to 11 feb.
still..
i’ve been going to the same place, seeing the same pple for the past 6 mths. its just hard to say goodbye, even though i was the one who decided to pack my bag & go home. (wah, watch too much ANTM!)
the reason for leaving: i am simply not cut out for cs and sales.
i am thankful once again to have a great manager and good colleagues. i will always remember the lame jokes, the laughter we shared, the whining sessions we had, the secret meeting, the tea breaks and my first D&D.
TO: the good times !
*bye to my desk

i was doing some stuff in office when my manager & colleague called me.
“minying, come over here!”
i turned around and they passed me this super cute dog-balloon !
*they know how much i want a dog ! so, this is the next best thing.
my office receptionist came to me at 4+ with a carton. i thought she was going to give me a carton of oranges, it turn out to be flowers from Joanna !
she called me for lunch sometime in Dec but i didnt join in. i realised much later that its actually her farewell lunch. i felt so bad abt it. i know she is sad to leave the company (just like me..)
anyway, i went to get her a gift after work. woke up early the next day, rush to old office early in the morning and left this on her desk:
*donkey + flowers
awww.. thanks for the lovely flowers!
*from Joanna
