My dear good friends aka ex-colleagues have been blogging about the past movements of my ex company. Alot of 'Bu She de' from an old bird. I totally empathised. I felt the same too when i left. I had a scrap book full of pics of my beloved colleagues and their private messages. For the first time, i had the closest contact with my director - a hug! He was a total fatherly figure. He watched me turned 21, had boyfriends, married and become a mother. That applies to Ms Old Bird J too!
I know, i know. Felt like a break up. After that very farewell dinner, i weeped in the car. After i reached home, i read the little sweet book full of thoughts for me. It really feel like i'm leaving a big piece of me behind.
After i left, J found a better future and decided to leave. Then V found a greener pasture n is definitely leaving. I must said after hearing so many things about the most recent submission of resignation letter, the actions taken towards it was so different than i tendered. No. Not jealous. Not envy. Just upset. So much for working for 7.5 years. Sigh. I really hope the company do justice to my two beloved colleagues who have decided to stay on. They are definitely doing so MUCH more work! I felt indignant for them at times.
I heard how upset Dr M is. It broke my heart too. I could feel for him. It's like a permanent empty nest syndrome which can nv be found full again. Would I say he can't manage ppl? Should I say he's too soft? If it was a yes to any of the two questions above, he would be our 'Father' M.
My previous workplace sheltered me from evil politics. And now i'm facing most of it. From being complained of wearing too 'sexily' to work to why never have lunch with them. How childish. No, i didn't show half of my chest. Maybe is my skirt. But i'm tall wat. Watever, i leave it as it is. My sweet boss told me "Being a mother, i should be able to understand childish behaviour." Indeed it's true. Nowadays i'm really more tolerant to rubbish as well as to take things easy.
Although i have a better pay now, nothing beats having BEST companions around everyday for 8 hours. It's like fun for 8 hours. I missed those days. Maybe we could set up something to be partners in future.
I miss you girls! I miss all the rubbish! I miss all the laughters. I miss you!! Sob Sob Sob!
It's really tough out there =(

It's all about timing, Ting. Not that you're any less worth retaining. But they panicked when more started to hand in the letter, so they had to dangle monetary carrots.
I miss having you around too~~ Let's chat to our hearts content this sunday!
