Farewell
I have this senior colleague, which resigned few days back. He’s just like a ‘teacher’ to us. Whenever he wants to inform us something, he’ll say “ My fellow students, bla bla bla “
He’s the first person to approach me with a friendly smile when I first got into this company. Then he’ll chat with me to make sure I’m comfortable with the new big environment.
And the best part is we’re actually from the category ‘kakinang’. When he asked me “ You’re Hokkien, Cantonese or what ar? “
“I’m a Teochew”.
“Hei! We’re actually kakinang! “, he replied.
Calling for another colleague, Steve, he said “ Steve, we have another ‘kakinang’ here”.
It’s kinda hard to get Teochew family as far as I know. So he’s just like a papa to me in office.
He knows I’m a Malaccan, and he loves to travel to Malacca. as a matter of fact he always talks about how good Malacca is, the nice historical buildings, the cheap and nice food which we can’t find it here. Awwwwww, makes me miss Malacca so much now >_<
Knowing that he loves Malacca so much and whenever he visit Malacca he’ll got lost, I took the initiative to get him new Malacca maps with numerous of Malacca hotels to choose. He’s very happy about it and thank me.
His cellphone ringtone catches ppl’s attention. But to some, it was irritating. Remember the "Carrie Junior" powder advertisement? The classic advertisement, with this pink baby elephant leading few kids behind and walking along with the baby elephant. That's his ringtone.
When he tender he resignation letter due to some personal issues, the office starts to get gloomy. Everybody was so speechless that they donot know what to say.
So, when his last day of employment getting nearer, my Team Manager decided to get him a farewell present and each of us need to fork out a small amount, with fullest SINCERITY and not by FORCE.
At his very last working day with us, he treated all of us lunch. Before he left the company, he came to each of us and says some nice meaningful advices since he’s a very senior here.
So now, in this office, the environment was different, there’s no “Hei kakinang!” or “My gentle students…I wanna inform bout bla bla bla” or the sound of his cellphone ringtone.
Adios KK.Tan!!! When you drop by at Malacca, do think of me - the talkative girl....
