Gong Xi Fat Choy to those who celebrates the Chinese New Year. *firecrackers*
To my ex-boss, Mr Tan and family, Ms Ler, Siew Ming, Lee Teng, Mong Heung, Ho, Eiffel Chong, Mr Cheng, C.K and all LimKokWing-ians who celebrates it.
It’s that festive season again and Muar is packed with people driving around town, lining up at the ATM machines (alongside the Nepalese, Vietnamese, Indonesians, Bangladeshis) and skirmishing for parking spaces.
Aaah. Joy oh joy.
I was struggling to get my nephews to have their bath this morning…
. they’re so blardy hooked with my laptop.
when I received one sms from my ex-boss. It turns out that he was trying to make some sort of trivia quiz via sms with us, his fellow designers (though I’m not a part of the company any longer but still Ibah dipaksa terbabit sama, like always.) Anyone who answers wrongly will still get a pack of angpow and oranges but if the answer is correct we will get a double angpow from him.
If I choose not to play along, he will make me hang on to dear life before he shoots me in the head or mash me on the ground with his big giant Ford Ranger.
*freak out*
I forgot how the sms sounds like since I deleted already, but it did sounds like somebody from the company (THS Industries) wanted to work back in Muar branch with my ex-boss, not because of the angpow offered but because of the responsibility and his/her love towards the company. He/she also felt like THS is his/her second family. The question however, was this: Who is this person?
Only one name pop-ed into my mind: Sam, my dear old friend.
I did answer correctly. And yay, I got the RM100 angpow. But I was literally confused, how come larr the staff also cannot answer this stupid question? Because to me, the answer is quite obvious! Sam is the only designer left working in KL, he always got angpow offered by my ex-boss and he has worked with the company more than 6 years so it’s really understandable that the company is his second family.
I left the company for a year and a half by now, but I still get the inside ‘scoop’ once in a while.
Later in the evening, one of my ex-colleague called me and said; "Babe, I thought it was you."
I answered confusedly; "Huh? What’s your answer?" to which came a stun reply; "Ibah".
Wtf would I ever work back with the company? I have one more year of study to be finished
*blink eyes in disbelief*
Then, I received a forwarded sms from my ex-boss. The sms came from another ex-colleague of mine:
‘Boss, its good to have Ibah back with Muar team. Really like one happy family. I still remember the time when Man, Sam, Ibah, Hairy, Bakhtiar, Nazri, Nor, Az and myself had a brainstorm session in HQ, that was the best experience I ever had. We are very close to each other, having fun while working together. She’s a great designer and a good deal for the company."
I replied to my boss:
‘I’m flattered beyond belief and yes I have to admit we were a one big happy family back then. I miss those moments. Boss, still got the angpow ah?’
Replied boss:
‘Yah lah. U correct. But I am thinking of giving u oranges only. Well, from mimi, to Ah Ler, Wawa and everyone else said Ibah is back. All seem to love you so much, my dear Ibah."
Do they?
Aaaw, u guys!
.aaw- am flattered beyond belief.
I was up the other night because of the firecracker’s noise. Not knowing either to injure the people who make such noise or to just join them along, I quickly grab my dgcam and snap some nice photos. Good angle, great lights…ah such bliss.
.firework mode.
.between shaft of bulb light and glare of firecrackers.
.beam-er.
Bliss is when I have colors and lights around me to which they signify all my hopes and dreams.
These two things always make the pupil of my eye grow larger and larger.
My oh my.
Mind me, just blogging around. Hah.
Gong Xi Fat Choy!
Living my life pathetically happy.
