Looking back

While on the way back from KL this afternoon, things just came into my mind and there are 2 events which i thought was kinda nice and memorable. Maybe after reading what i am about to write, you will think it's just plain simple but to me, it's by far still kinda memorable to me.

Ok, 1st one - Farewell party for my ex-boss. Mr. Cheong SK. We were discussing about having one farewell for him and thus we asked when is it suitable for him. Unfortunately, he was so reluctant to have us organize it. But to no avail, we went on with the plan but no one dares to confront him to ask him to attend the party. So, out of desperation, we wrote him a little note, pass it to him the day before the party just before we were all leaving the office. Just as we were getting ready to go home, he came to our place and so we thought he was going to talk about the party, but NO, not a single work about it. So fine. I went home leaving my colleagues with him. The next day, still not a single word about the party. We went on doing our work and when it came to lunch time, we invited him again. We were all waiting anxiously whether or not he will join us and YES, my boss, ex-boss now, finally came. Yah it sound a little dramatic but yes, it really happened. He was probably too sad to leave that is why he did not want to attend it but we were just doing something nice for him for all the teaching and guidance he had given us.

A little token of appreciation - Presented by Fauzi to Mr. Cheong SK.















It's makan time!!
















Then there is another farewell party for Mr. CSK which took some time for us to ask him to attend too..... FInally he agredd and i quickly offered to fetch him before he changed his mind again. We went for steamboat in moven peak. Although not many attended this 2nd one, but alas it was fun and great.





The 2nd one - Fauzi's surprise bday celebration. There was no plan for this at all. As i was going out for lunch that day, i told the others that i was going to get Fauzi a piece of cake as we will normally celebrate bdays of QA staffs every end of each month. And thus came the "big" plan to give him a surprise. I was asked to get a whole cake and we will share it among ourselves. So, there i was, buying the cake and hiding it once i am back in the office. Sharp 5pm, we brought the cake out, light the candle and walk towards him ( He was trying to complete his job in our meeting cum training room ) while singing him the bday song. I duno whether or not he was surprise as we were told the plan has been leaked out but not one of us told him anything?? Still a mystery to us as how it leaked out. Probably it's just a rumour but i am glad we did it for him.

Then there was another surprise for him by his subordinate who invited us as well. Unfortunately, they have to break the surprise as well as Fauzi was suppose to take leave on the day they planned and so they have to tell him about it and asked him to attend the party. How sweet of them for organizing it for him.

His bday party does not end there as he will be having another one from QA as we have not celebrated the bdays of those born in July yet. How lucky, 3 bday parties in one year. Hehehehe......

p/s: Can't upload the photos... Will try again some other time.
