Farewell seems to be the hardest word!
The other night, at the Karaoke Farewell session for me, we sang "Sorry seems to be the hardest word" - I disagree. I think "farewell" is the hardest word, by far. After handing over all my stuff, I quickly strut off, not wanting to go through emotional farewells... sigh, very afraid of those.
Now I move towards a new beginning and a new life back into System Intergration! The very circle I started from in my IT career... but of course, this company I join is into bigger things, bigger contracts, bigger sales (hopefully **with fingers crossed**).
Received some disturbing news from some ex-colleagues... something about what I didn't do for them... sigh, that's always the case isn't it - EXPECTATIONS.
Sometimes people tell me, its ok that others do not see what you did for them in quietness cause when they finally realise it, it will be double its worth, well yes and no... Why? That's because of the sad feeling you get when you realise people are always focussing on the good things you didn't do (even if you've done it) than the things you did. And sometimes,its even worse when it comes from people whom you've done a lot for... sigh... that's why, I have this philosophy constantly applied in my life - NO EXPECTATIONS.
When you decide to do something for someone, keep expectations out of it. Do not expect anything in return, not even a "Thank You"; then your life will be much happier. If ever there's one that returns and say thank you, well thank God, that's bonus! Which reminds me of the story told in the bible about how Jesus healed ten person and only one returned to thank Him...
On a lighter note, Chinese New Year has started to slowly move away, today being the third day... the last few nights have been very very tiring but enjoyable... I guess its that "once in a year" feeling... Further more, had also some good news here and there which could be too P&C to say here but some friends will know, especially those who went out for steam boat dinner with me. Lets hope this is REAL good news... yes?
I now look forward to starting in my new place (on the 6th) and put things (and people; well some people) behind me. With a prayer in mind, hoping that the new group of people I meet will be more appreciative than some of the ones I knew before...
To all who knew me before, well...
Farewell and lets meet again
When we do, forget the past , the times that went
Lets move ahead together this year
Lets forgive, forget and be once again, FRIENDS!
Remember the good times that we shared
Remember the songs we sung at Karaokes
Hold fast to lessons we learnt together
Lets move on to something much much better
My wish for all who is reading this now
Is that you all will have joy and riches somehow
But be sure to remember the good times that went
Be sure to remember this one dear FRIEND!
