The Year of the Dog - A new beginning
Yuppidy yup... a new beginning is dawning for a lot of the chinese folks and also for me. People around are saying that the year of the dog brings good fortune for these people and that people and blah blah blah.... Fung Sui is especially hot nowadays since things are so bad, you'd rather believe something is true even though it may take a few years to prove it.
Well, tomorrow is the day when my MD allows me to announce that I'd be leaving the company I've been working with for close to 3 years now. I will start at my new place beginning next year (i.e. the year of the dog) - thus the new beginning for me... been quite difficult to cap something like this for the past few weeks since my letter was submitted on 9/1, sigh...
Anyway, to all of yous out there who knows me through business relations, my hand phone number is still the same and if you drop your contact here (thru comments), I will drop an email to you once I have settled into my new place.
Looking back these 3 years, I have had good memories and some not so good ones... but the good ones are worth mentioning - friends I have made, trust relations built, laughs, drinks, long lunches, tea time sessions - will be something I'd definitely miss... and to some of you,..
- Ah Low
Will miss your friendship, sincerity and your frank remarks and occasional "tantrums".
- LorLorLuin
Will miss your "little girl" smiles and "auntie" conversations, and sometimes all roll into one!
- "Tweety"
Will miss your laughs, tears and high pitch (sometimes disturbing) continuos comments
- "Mei Cher"
Will miss the way you answer your phone with "a different voice"
- Ah Lannn
Will miss your handsome smile and the way you get your way around because of that smile!
- YTL
Will miss the way you tell us to put the "ta pau stuff" in the back of the boot and inside a nother box!
- Ah Chen
Will miss your occasional smile and for being my "chinese reader" during our karaoke sessions
and many more... sorry, if I miss out some of you... but I don't want to get into a "teary" situation. Have told your Sports Club President to arrange for me my fairwell and hopefully he will do a good one for me **in anticipation**
As I move on, I have only this to say to all who have worked with me... remember the 3 "R"s all the time, it will take you very far in the corporate world.
1st R - Responsibility
Always remember your responsibility to your work, your team, your boss, your family, your friends and YOURSELF. We set goals and resolution every year but we seldom put effort to do them and hope that it will come around, when it comes around. The truth is, we are not taking responsibility of things we have committed to do. Setting targets is easy but to monitor and to strive to achieve them takes great effort. We cannot afford to give up half way nor take those targets lightly - we need to be responsible!
2nd R - Respect
Respect is two ways. We all want respect from others. What we don't normally realise is that respect is gained and not taken. You want respect, then respect others first. Especially YOUR BOSS! No matter how dissatisfied you are with your boss, give him respect. He is still your boss. No matter how many negative elements you want to complain about him, for God's sake, find one positive element you can tell about him to go with those negative ones.
3rd R - is most important!
Yes, remember RODNEY! Ha ha... remember this "Pak Tau Lo" uncle who plays futsal like a young man, score goals like Van Nistelroy and Rooney add together, sings like Alan Tam, talks like Chau Sing Chi (the actor, not our Boss) and looks like "Choong Wah Ying Hoong"!
Well, too much written today. Hope to have another session later... CNY is coming lor and I wish all of you out there, "Gong Xi Fa Cai"... make lots of money... will definitely come back for more lunches!
