This marks my last dae at my wkplace... i didnt cry. not a single tear. actually, when i left deloitte, i didnt cry too. strange.

actually, i cry real easily... but y izit dat i dun cry abt leavin my companies... maybe cos to me, its juz a company. a place where one wks. or maybe cos i noe those bonds dat i haf forged n treasure dearly would not b broken...

i rem when i left deloitte, i felt real sad. lost. confused. i didnt noe wat was ahead. whether it was true dat e world outside of audit was like wat they said - unforgiving, cold, dark, ruthless. it turned out otherwise. yes, it is definitely much more sheltered in audit cos u haf layers of reviewers n no matter wat, e partner has e final liability. but in commercial world, u r an individual contributor n u r liable fer anythin u sae. n once it comes out of ur mouth, u beta make sure dat its politically correct. but of cos, im not tokin abt durin haha sessions or after office hour gatherings...

now i still feel sad, lost and confused. but to a lesser extent. maybe cos im older. maybe cos i haf more experience. maybe cos i sort of noe wat to expect. cos its from another commercial environment to other. maybe cos im jaded. i duno. but life is full of changes. we never noe wat to expect. i juz wana do my best fer God dats all. im sure He has placed me in dat new place fer a purpose n i wana fulfill dat purpose.

but im glad dat till now, im still in touch wif those from deloitte n we do make an effort to meet up. though it is gettin lesser but dats part n parcel of growin older. strange as we get older, we haf less time to meet up wif our frens. actually its not so strange cos we either get engulfed in wk n more wk, or we r progressin to a different phase in life - marriage, then kids...

i definitely will miss all e friendships i've forged. strange dat pple reali open up to u onli when u r leavin. maybe cos when u r colleagues, u r juz more wary; or we humans onli treasure pple when we noe it is gona b no more... but im surely glad dat we toked... u all noe who u r... thanks fer openin urself up to me...

to my dear friends, thanks for bein part of my life. i do treasure each n everyone of u n e times we've shared... keep in touch hor!!! ^_^
