さよなら、私の仲間
14th October 2005, Friday
Just came back from the farewell lunch for BY who would be leaving for her new workplace starting on Monday...
We were supposed to give her a treat but it turned out that we were joined at lunch by 2 sales personnel from a vendor which we had order an entire bulk from who gave us the treat in the end..hey I'm not complaining at all man...heehee
Anyway without BY in the lab, something would definitely be amissed as her presence would be tremendously missed...
Being the eldest among us, she was always the guiding "elder sister" in terms of work and private matters as well, always give fitting advice as we had expected from her...
She became the unanimous leader among the girls as being the most vocal; but always ended shedding bad light on herself as she was labeled as the "instigator" or the "rebel" from the Hag or our supervisor...
However what we would sorely missed about her is her sense of humor and behaving at times she is still a teenager such as downloading pictures of her favorite male actors like Brad Pitt or Christian Bale or going ga-ga over Final Fantasy VII after I had passed her the "Advent Children" movie..
She could do very good impersonation, regardless some distinct characters in our workplace or adopting that Indian accent which kept us entertained for so long.
The way she chastised certain people is also a fave of ours and commonly spread her "acid tongue" to the rest of us.
I think guys especially would enjoy talking to her, as she is not reserved to indulge in any topics even explicit or embarrassing stuff, unlike other girls would be just "shy shy" to even talk about going to crap...
Being an animal activist, she always advocate for the good cause in saving the animals in the world and could go for days, lambasting about the incorrigible animals trade or pollution to our mother earth. Her cats been the love of her lives would always been mentioned to us on how cute they actually are, though to me, all cats look the same...
On the work front, she is one mean, green working machine and could do alot of things at a quarter of time of what many could do, due to how she trained herself over the last 11 years working here. She also bears the most knowledge in a lot of processes and is the one everyone turns to for instructions or guidance...
To me I would miss someone who I would drop over to complain freely about JxMMy or any injustice within our workplace (believe me, there are alot)
I will also miss someone who can chat about classic 80s rock with...someone who would be heading the same direction home at the same knock off time which is much earlier than the rest as we always report early to work.
I think she would find it hard to accustom to a new workplace for the beginning especially the difference in working hours...
The one who would miss her sorely would be YM as BY has always been the closest confidante and tag team partner at work, and she tends to rely on the latter over many matters, and now her channel of support would be working in a building just across ours as a green horn but carries with her a great working spirit and years of invaluable experience...
I guess she would be joining the rest of lunch often in the future but since I always pack lunch for work, I wouldn't see her that much..
Nonetheless I do wish her all the best for future endeavours and spread the joy she had always bring to us over the years...
She will always be a part of our team despite her absence....
