September is here!!! It’s my favorite month because it’s when I was born and it’s the first of the ‘ber months which means… Christmas is fast approaching! :))
Anyway, today is M+2 (second day of the month end closing schedule) at the office and it’s also Jemma’s birthday and Joseph’s last day at the office.
For lunch we bought Jemma a cup of ice cream with the lunch she asked us to buy for her. She now has curly hair, by the way, courtesy of Kizuna, where I also had my digital perm. We went last Sunday; I got highlights and resisted the urge to get a rebond even though I was bored with my hair, knowing that curly hair suits me best.
Later in the afternoon, Jemma’s team mate Za surprised her with a strawberry shortcake. We all had a small piece.
Meanwhile, I volunteered to buy a farewell card for Joseph last night but when I couldn’t find a good one, I started to scout the shelves for a nice notebook instead and found this treasure:
It looks like a small book but it is filled with blank lined pages that we used to write messages for Joseph. We gave it to him along with some Toblerone chocolates. He gave Merci chocolates and went around having his picture taken with everyone in the department. (This is how people in Singapore say goodbye.)
All the girls are sad because we have lost our #1. Haha! But really, we will miss seeing his friendly smile in the hallways as well as feeling the loss of our events organizer; the company social committee will also have one less member. But when friends move on, so must we.
