finally...

after 3 farewell treats n a gruelling mth of OT, the day has finally come...

farewell gifts (from left): bouquet made by rina, watches by pple @ hq n pple in amk, sakae froggy which came together with my lunch treat

dropped off at serangoon central to pick up some cakes for my colleagues as well as nice porridge which i had been craving for...

best bud rina n her lovely bouquet

thanks all for the gift :)

spent 1st hr distributing cake n socialising while the rest of the day was spent trying to clear stuff n at the same time handover my stuff to my successor... quite chaotic esp towards the end where i was still trying to teach n clarify things with my successor n at the same time fill up my ot form n stupid exit interview survey form. couldnt make it back to head office at 4.30pm for the exit interview n had to call up to postpone.

the accts pple

last min farewells with the whole office b4 rushing off to head office BUT not before being caught in the rain n had to take a cab down due to time constraint. upon reaching, had to still rush ard to pass things to boss for signatory, pass donuts to tne rest of the gang, pass forms to IT n finally hv the exit interview. luckily it was short n sweet so had some more time to catch up with the others n manage to squeeze in some last min picz.

cindy, me & the tai tais

jap class...

quite stressed coz have jap test coming up next wk n dun hv much time to study since i'm busy with the coming mth end n preparing for cleaaring n handing over my work. stressed~~

btw observation of my jap clas... pple are pretty defensive of their seating positions in class. 1st time i noticed tis was a few wks back. happened that this other gal came in early n took the aisle seat in the same row of me. abt 15 min into the lesson, tis old aunty came in n claimed that it was her seat n demanded that the gal shift to another seat. the gal was pretty shocked n had no choice but to shift to the empty seat next to me.

over the wkend, that same thing happened again, another gal took someone else's seat in my row but at least she was assertive enough to ignore their nonsense. heard this other lady in my row tell her that pple sorta stick to their own "seating plan" fr beginning of the term onwards...

feel that this is so STUPID n ridiculous . i, for one, believe in 1st come 1st serve n if i do come late to class one day to find "my seat" taken, i wldn't really mind n juz find the next available seat.

crazy pple~~

farewell dinner

had an early farewell dinner with my colleagues fr hq @ sakura toa payoh on fri :)..realised i was not the only one who was leaving the co. so it was farewell for both me n cindy.

me n cindy, the other "farewell gal"

sakura @ toa payoh had a slightly diff variety fr pasir ris (which was quite pathetic). think quite ok but the ventilation was horrid. a few of us were "grossed" out by the food smell when we 1st entered (not everyone likes smelling like food after eating. dats y i hate to go food fair coz u wld stink fr head to toe aft u come out fr there). h/r we were soon distracted by the food ;p

ate alot, esp the jap food such as sushi, chawanmushi, lotsa octopus, tempura, unagi n kami nabe (jap style paper steam boat)... not forgetting desserts like cheese cake, ice cream, fruits, durian puff...

sinful octopus, oyster, tempura, sushi ;p

kami nabe (not scolding bad word "nabe" is pot in japanese lah)

was there fr 7plus all the way till 9plus (restuarant was already closing by then). got a lift fr lilian on the way back on cab :P

me & my accessories...

was bored dat day so took some picz of my little accessories collection (above, excludes other necklaces, bracelets etc that cant fit into the boxes). managed to get these boxes, actually for pills n medication fr daiso to keep them properly instead of dumping them all over the table n end up losing 1 side of the earrings...

h/r gotta really try to stop buying too many accessories, spending too much $$ on them liao ;p

new members of my collection

my new bling bling fr bugis st. itz a little microphone. so cute~~
