Departure

It has been a while since a long serving (>1 yr) staff left our team, so naturally, I caused a little stir. History repeats itself.

As mentioned, Kevin, Wendy and Bhavani each gave me an unexpected gift. I'm surprised I mattered.

I could not trust my heart. I left without saying goodbye to most of my colleagues. I have no idea why it is affecting me worse now than when I left my first job.

Once I've done my exit clearance, I'm my own master once again.

Dinner was attended by Meng Kwee; Isabel (Belle); Kieran; Derek; Weiping; Teckming (Magician); Kaijie; Tommy; Eric; Steven; Clarinda; XXX; Alice; Kaifen (Xiaofen); Huikoon (HK); Angie, Jingying; Stella (Lala) and Tommy. Flattering to have our newer guys and girls to the team to turn up. My own team was only represented by HK as they have given me a private treat prior to this. We were split into two tables and I tried to share my time between them.

It was getting late and the girls asked if I could dismiss them. I asked why should it be me then I recalled that in Western decorum, no one can leave while the host is still present - and that is me. So we asked for the bill and called it a night.

Thank you.
