Here I am, at 2.30am in the morning, sitting in front of the computer blogging....
Welcome to 28th of May 2015, the release date of McDonald's minions 2015 - first batch, and the last day of my 3.5 years job.
Time flies by in a blink of an eye. An idioms that mirror my situation.
Whenever I look back, I remember my first interview, the nervousness I felt and the astonishment I had with the interview progress. I remember the joy of getting my first job and how my parents say it is a tough job to choose. I recall saying that "If you never try it out, you will never know whether the rumour is real". That was on the 7th day of CNY, 2012.
It was as if yesterday that I enter the office, going to my seat and not knowing what to do and where to start. I was so lucky that I was assigned to a senior, who is an architect, young and energetic, who helped my shy self to adapt quickly into my job. I can still hear the ringtone of his phone, ringing at the back of my head, as he had answered hundreds of call in a day, in order to get the podium to be handover in time for soft opening.
I could still taste the food, served by our cafe, queing up for lunch and chit-chat with my colleagues during the meal. We used to say " OMG, how can the fried chicken to be this dry. Is it even human food!!". Then, we started sneaking out from the FREE LUNCH from 2 days per week to totally 6 days per week which maintained till today. I do believe it will still be the culture in the near future.
I used to be the only girl for my job title till another girl colleague arrived. It was fun having someone from the same side. Sort of balance out the male-female ratio.
It is still fresh in my mind that during the course of my job, I had complained and complained and cursed and I wanted to quit my job. It's a god bless that a good leader was assigned which allowed me to stay on the job just a little longer. It was never expected to take so long yet seem so short.
Life got busier and busier as time goes, but it was a lot of fun. I completed something I started and enjoyed looking at it. Feeling proud that I was there the whole process and I knew within my heart that it's time for me to say goodbye to it.
It all seem so near yet so far. I met a lot of people during the course of years, the come and go of colleagues, the happiness we share, the argument we have, the collaboration we had, the naughty side we had, the complain we share during tea time and snaking around...
It was all too fun to be forgotten and too hard to let go. I am grateful to have chosen this path in my life and very lucky to have such a wonderful colleagues.
Now is the time for me to go for a path not taken.
I wish all of you the best of luck and most of all, thank you.
Thank you for the memory and time dedicated by you guys. You know who you are and I would give no less of my gratitude and best regards to you.
THANK YOU ALL.
