Bye to my first job~

11 July 2011

While going through my 'unorganised photos' folder, I suddenly remembered that there is an event in my life which I wanted to write about and remember but never got round to doing it~ The day I left my first real job (not counting that part time job after SPM and my internship) was a really memorable day. I truly think that this job gave me lots of good friends that I can look to for help and advice. Aww.. I don't miss the company but I miss my colleagues.. I remember crying like mad on the bus ride back home, when it finally sank in that I was leaving T__T

My old workplace~ don't miss the computer that much since I'm using Windows 7 with a flat-screen monitor now, heehee.. but it still felt kind of weird when I went back to visit and saw my seat being occupied by a new employee..

Luckily with this picture, I'm able to recall that lunch on my last day was at Sushi Zanmai, can't remember what I ate though, haha.. With my lovely group mates TAP, CLE, TSW and myself -- SYT (We used initials on all our work to identify who did what~)

At the end of the day, the symbolic process of handing over my portfolio to the most patient and meticulous senior in the world, Ms LYH.. I swear, even I would like to knock myself over my head over some careless mistakes that I sometimes make, but she is always so patient when checking my work, made me feel so guilty sometimes..

A final group photo with the members of VK group minus TAP, who was busy releasing an announcement i think.. You can obviously see here that my boss looks like she's about to cry, which breaks my heart since she is just the most awesome boss ever.. and it was like my absence was going to pile more work onto her fragile shoulders, since they hadn't found a replacement when I left.. even now, she's still complaining about me leaving her, lol..

Since it was after working hours and I was still going through my handover list, these very free people were just hanging around waiting for me to finish (of course the photo wasn't taken by me ok! :P) I was VIP of the day, yay~

With the lady with all the gossip, and the one who called me Master Sifu since she always asked me for help when drafting her official memos and email.. she's kind of scary to people who cross her, but I must be a very likeable person, cos we got on ever so well together.. heh! :D she was pregnant when I left and now her little prince is more than one month old already, how time flies!

Caught Mr Hasbullah of the filing department just before he left for the day, the other filing guys had all gone back already, since they always leave at 5.30pm sharp.. He's the one I always went to for help in binding the endless copies Memorandum and Articles of Association that clients were always requesting for. I always stuck the tape on all crooked, and he is after-all an expert in all things to do with filing and binding.. At my new job we don't have such admin assistants and I realised that I'm actually quite good at M&A binding after some practice, lol..

The customary photos in at the reception area with the company name and logo behind us, I can't think of anyone who left without taking a pic here.. haha..

In the main boardroom.. pardon me for being that round, I get rotund easily if I eat heavy dinners everyday, and there had been quite a lot of farewell dinners around that time.. @.@~

Sobs, all boycotting me for leaving them in Malaysia..

When I started working, I was the most junior in the group, a year and a half later, I had 2 'little kids' to bully, heehee~

Chairing a farewell 'meeting' in one of the smaller boardrooms, before we wreaked havoc inside, luckily no one came to report us to the big boss :D

Our canvas for some artwork :):)

Caught in the act? Vandalising??! O.o..

Nobody thought of getting me a real farewell card, so this is what I got.. Cute eh?? :)

The talented artist and me~

Hahaha... thumbs down for the guy who went on leave even though it was my last day T_T

You disappointed us, Mr AKJ

With my bestie in the office. Ms ESM whom I first met in Liverpool.. She started work only a week after me and we used to have delivery vegetarian lunch together at the typewriter area, before our work-lunch gang was established.. remember??? :D

This was my 'next to leave' list, but I think I got it wrong, because no. 6 on my list was the first to leave.. quite a shocker really.. oh well, no one's going to stay forever anyways.. erm, well.. maybe except for the guy who was on leave on my last day, as everyone cursed him to stay forever, lol...

Proceeded to go to level 17 to search for more people to take pictures with, my department was on the 18th floor.. some girls were there practising their cheerleading routine for the Bursa Malaysia Rat Race contest.. (Supposed to blog about the 2010 race which I attended, but haven't got to doing it yet.. haha..)

2010 Oct-Nov batch of colleagues.. only one survivor out of the 4 of us, the rest have since resigned~

Last picture, this is with Corin from our internal accounting department, the one I always went to when there was anything wrong with my invoices, and also the Tupperware person who supplied me with Tupperware covers.. @.@ didn't realise her eyes were closed in the only photo I have with her until now.. aiya...

One interesting thing that I miss about my old job (other than my colleageus) was the fact that there were so many people selling things that I found pretty useful and I can't find those stuff anywhere else now, such as cosmetics (from a despatch guy who got his stock from magazine editorial offices), dutch lady yoghurt drink at only RM4 for two bottles, amazingly yummy chinese new year cookies, arrowhead chips, Dior accesories (one of the clients) and as mentioned, Tupperware.. lol.. Can you imagine, I once got a brand new full sized Lancome Genifique Youth Activator for only RM30 from the despatch guy who didnt know how much his goods were worth!

On to my second job now, sincerely hoping that there will be things that are worth missing too when its time to leave... *crossing fingers*
