Time really flies... what date is today? 23rd July 09... I got 3 more working days to go before bidding the real sayonara to a place where I stayed for 7 years... in fact I should be gone with the wind on 14th July 09... I am quite puzzled by the extension to so-called pay back the no. of days which I took for my surgery... I have never heard of such a policy existing... but well I did not resist... simply because I want to take the opportunity to spend more time with nice colleagues & of course my precious left-right hand ... it's a norm that not everyone in the company is nice, this goes without saying... but overall I am fortunate to have so many nice people surrounding me and they are always rendering me with lots of help throughout my stay here...with this I am really grateful and feel indebted especially to "没人帮"， " "老夫子" & ＂ＬＩＭＥ＂they are the ones who have witnessed my turning point from the very 1st day I was here. My definition of "turning point" here refers to the stages of life from 20 plus - young & slim to 30 plus - mature & of cos' no longer slim anymore.... how sad! They are indeed the "old birds" sooo experienced and gone through alot -＂吃盐比我吃米多＂- Frankly I was very scared when I 1st joined - all old birdies...at least twice my age... OMG... how to work and how on earth will they listen to someone so young and just graduated from school! I can't imagine how I am going to survive here. My ex-boss is ..hmm...how should I put it? Is really "恐怖＂type.... I learnt this description from my left hand...haha... Because of her notorious act... I often had nightmares... I had dreamt of her on several occasions! Simply put it this way.... her expectation was super duper high and her mood swings was like 360 deg C - just like the "milkshake" in Sunway Lagoon Theme Park! This was indeed something that's very killing... I felt being tortured and wanted to flee so badly... Come to think of it after she had left, I was in fact grateful to her ... I learnt to be independent and equipped with the essential survival skills in working life and also managed to explore alternate ways of learning through people. I still remembered vividly that ~ 5 yrs back when I was still under her torture, I told myself this: "if ever I have subordinates in future, I will never going to treat them the way I was being treated before... I want to be someone whom they can rely on and have an open communication with"... I am not sure whether I have done this well but I am dead sure I have put in my best effort to do so...
Moral of the story I have learnt during my 7 years of stay:
Always treat people with due respect.... even if they are just a small fry or ikan bilis, they are important and should gain equal respects.
Enough of my thoughts & sharings today, shall continue soon....
