the bidding is hard to do
I seldom bid farewell when I’m leaving. Prefer to keep it as low keyed as possible. Saying goodbyes is soo awkward. Uncomfortable n a bit embarrasing…esp when you didnt know them that much. You dont know how much you were to give of yourself, to keep it formal, subdue, or laugh it off with jokes. In the end you’re stuck with lame jokes which nobody understands.
Today’s my last day at Meda Inc. Not many knew I was leaving, even the collegues next door. I didnt advertise it. Yesterday during CCM meeting at One Subang with the external architects+engineers, GM announced i was leaving. Many were surprised. I had to fend off questioning eyes.
For a year here..i’ve often gotten lonely sitting alone in the big room…But today the empty room was filled with concerned well-wishers that i was near tears. The fews who knew I was going away came at early morning to wish me luck at the new place. Mr William the GM even went down from 18th flr to bid me goodbyes. Made me promised to call him when Im around usj. My boss blanjer me a farewell lunch. K Liza made me promised to email her the 28.05 pictures. Elaine gave me a present. Maz handed me the nutrimetiCs brochure with a promise to courier the vit supplement.
One hour before office hour ended I finally emailed the staff bidding them farewell. Figured it’s too late now for them to open the mail, thus I’ll be safe from having to encounter them face 2 face. But then the phone started ringing non stop. Many stopped by to say adieu. Many were furious I didnt tell them earlier. 5.45 pm I literally ran out of the office.
Yes I hate saying farewell. It strucked too close to heart.
Going to miss Meda a lot, like how i’m missing Aroma a lot. Me? I’m going off now. Hopefully to a better future.
