June 27, 2008

Today is Microsoft founder Bill Gates' retirement day .... hee, it's also Bahija's last day of work with In-Kei. The site shutdown annoucement was announced last year Oct, I made the decision on Nov ...dragging till now , it's been quite some long time, basically, for this first half of 2008 , I've not been very productive ....

I spent 6 yrs in I-Kei, and now 6 yrs in In-Kei. Ringgit reminded me how I ended my I-Kei farewell parties - back then, I was very sad to leave, there's strong connection, attachment .... I even cried at my team farewell lunch ....

Hmm, perhaps now - this thing has been dragging too long , thus I've gone immune, mentally have prepared for this date for way too long, until I have no such strong feeling, neither sad nor happy ...just feel nothing .... perhaps this is my 2nd time farewell, thus I'm good at it - haa

Anyway, my US boss made a special trip to PG , to bid farewell , sent me off , my PG team gave me a great dinner, and all my teammates plus ex-bosses , friends from FM gave me some awesome gifts ...when I opened the gifts, deep in my heart, I know I've made some fabulous friends along my 6 yrs in In-Kei, that they know me so well, and presented things I valued most ..to all of you , Thank You Very Much ....


** Both of my last day happened during Euro cups ...hurray ! First time - we ate dinner at Hartamas, and watched some Euro games then.... This time, I went to Austria, Switzerland, passed by some stadiums too , watched the games via TV live ...

my contiki trip

Things happened very fast ....within 2 weeks, Bahija and Sanguine Queen decided to 'Just Do It' , we went for 16 days Europe Horizon Contiki trip from June 8 to June 24. It's very fun and exciting. I've talked about goin Contiki for many years, it's great that I've made it while I'm still eligible ( for travellers from 18 yrs old to 35 yrs old only )

We have a friend in Amsterdam, thus both of us stayed extra days in Amsterdam, we also extended a few nights in Paris and enjoyed some shopping.... this year , Bahija didn't get any US trip, thus I enjoyed the little shopping spree at Paris :) ... I'll post more stories and photos later !
