Dear Hairdryer, I knew there was something wrong when I used you this morning and you didn’t sound quite right. Sure enough, you shuddered to a halt and when you refused to start again, it made me realize that you had served me well for over 7 years and needed to retire. I can still […]
Jenny’s Farewell
When my team mate Jenny resigned and left Singapore last month, we came up with something for her send-off. I thought that since she was going to be a housewife when she goes back home, we could make a cookbook-themed scrapbook for her. I gathered recipes from my team mates and gave them colorful scraps […]
Eggs and Berries {Foodee}
On Nantoy’s last week at work, we decided to have one last lunch out. We picked a Wednesday when everyone was not too busy. We headed to the nearby Changi City Point mall and upon Mildred’s suggestion, had lunch at Eggs and Berries. They didn’t have a table big enough for all of us inside, […]
Nantoy’s Last Day
Kids, this is the story of Nantoy’s last day in our office, the day we made him feel abandoned and friendless. It was a Singapore holiday yesterday, but we still had work because that’s how shared service centers roll, but we get free lunch on these days, so it’s all good in the hood. The […]
3-in-1 Celebration: Despedida + Bachelorette Party + Baby Shower
Last Saturday, we held a surprise party for three people for three different occasions. Each one of them came to the party thinking that it was a belated birthday celebration for Cate, but it actually wasn’t. We had some activities planned for the party but before we did all that, first things first… TIME TO […]
Farewell, Monet and Rodel
Rodel and Monet are moving to Halifax, Canada. They’re on a plane on the way there even as I type this, actually. The last few weeks have been a series of farewells for them, and it has been a mixture of happy and sad feelings for us. We’re happy that they’re moving because, and I […]
Farewell, Lucas
It was our manager Lucas’s last day in the company yesterday, so I made a video for him. I chose the background song because it’s one of his favorites. At least I didn’t have to think too hard anymore! Methinks we just made it go viral within the office. LOL. Lucas laughed out loud when […]
Jemma’s Birthday, Joseph’s Last Day
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. […]
Farrah’s Farewell
One of my batchmates, Farrah, tendered her resignation, her last day being last Thursday. I got her a pasta holder because she mentioned that she wanted one (she loves to cook), and she got me and our friends a giant Smarties tube with a Snow White topper. Snow White because it’s the symbol of what […]
Chi’s Despedida
Chi is leaving Singapore for good and moving back to the Philippines to be with her husband. Gelle and I met her in J Co Donuts for one last hot chocolate session last Wednesday. She gave us cards she had printed herself along with pearl necklaces to remember her by. Waaahhh! =.( Then last Saturday […]
