A Luggage of Wishes and Luck
May 7, 2006 1 Comment
Guys, you have spoilt me badly… Joanne would have agreed with me… For the past 10 days, you guys have been showering me with gifts, wishes and touching farewell greetings… My luggage is over-weight with all your wishes and luck (yes, I need lots of them in Shanghai).
Believe it or not.. I am still meeting my client next week…despite telling Tracy and Joanne that I need to clear some of my annual leaves. Had a very packed week…moved my plants, pond and toys to 3 different places (Tampines, Seng Kang and Toa Payoh). My lovely Auntie Amy helped me to move my belongings.
Guys, thanks for doing so much for me… (At some point, I thought I am migrating to Shanghai for good! Just kidding.) Yes, I am touched by all your friendship and love.. Despite me treating you guys so so bad… you guys worked so hard to plan things for me… Those surprise parties, dinners, calls are just so great…Made me feel so guilty and melted my heart……( Mmm..maybe that is why… You guys can’t wait to see me gone – cos’ I treat you guys so bad..Make me guilty, huh?) Anyway, thanks Yifu, Yixi, Joanne and Meijie for planning those "A Hero-Farewell" or "Get-Rid-of-Joe" party for me last week!
No matter how you see this, I could give you guys a good 6-12 month break in Singapore. You know, the "world-peace" thingy… heeee..
Sorry for not be able to inform all of you about the change in my departure. I was supposed to leave the island on 5th May. I received a lot of farewell calls / sms / msn on the 5th May (Nadirah, Jasbir, MC, Karen, Scott, Mary (Axxa), Bishan, Jenny (Oki) and even my own dad!). Due to some minor problems I had with my VISA, I am able to borrow more time in Singapore.. (with Elkan). I have just confirmed my flight – Yes yes, I am leaving on the 11th May 2006, 10am.
So, I am packing now… and ready to go. Thanks Tracy for that great discounted web camera. Thanks Meijie, Kalinda, Juliana, Duuk, Joanne and Tracy for the cordless phone that I really wanted! (Joanne just sent in the gift 2 hours ago!) And thanks for accomodating me with all those weekend programmes (mahjong, zoo trip, dinner etc). Even the most rare and closest bro turned out last night (Gareth and Ivy).
Ok, here is a song for everyone who love me – "Time to say Goodbye"
For those who I have bullied, here is the song – "Born Free".
Here are the photos of our farewell gatherings! Enjoy!
