The day finally came.....yes the day of my farewell dinner. They chose a nice ambience restaurant located at Liang Seah Street which I can't really recall the name. Hmmm so should I comment on the food first or on my dear buds who were there for my farewell dinner. Guess buds should come first...to me the food wasn't the issue. The main course was actually getting everyone together for one last occasion (not applicable to all) as a get together. Grateful that even though one of my bud was sick, he turned up too. Although he should have rested at home.

Most of the guys & gals who could make it came and I was really touched when I received my first farewell gift from my buds...but I was told not to open it first and only to open it when I'm home. First thing I'm home; immediately open the gift. So sweet, I must say they really very thoughtful loh...got me a nice card holder leh. Inside it's a card which has their signatures and a quote on it, I guess they must have spent some time choosing the cards from rabbit's deck haha. Meaningful leh...It goes like this

'You cannot acquire experience by making experiments.
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.'

Albert Camus.

Then still got the nice nice board with the whole office's best wishes on it...wah lau eh, I tell you it's a fantastic piece of art work loh. My xiaomei and the rest muz have put in a lot of effort in the making of the board...so sweet and so touched. That's not the end...I also got a nice fountain pen from the whole office. No words could express my feelings today.

In fact there was a moment when I was giving my farewell appreciation short speech when I felt my face twitching and losing control...well usually something follows thereafter, but luckily the board was so funny and looking at it brought back smiles again. Appreciation words could never end if I were to carry on, just wanna say thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Wanna know how the farewell gifts looks like. Well pic says a thousand words. Certain faces have been censored to protect the identity of the persons...haha.
