Farewell

What to do on a colleagues farewell? Say goodbye only? or a party?

Short story
My boss was not in so i could not ask if he prepared anything special for my senior who's leaving on that day... The other boss (different department), he's considerate enough to do a surprise for my senior. You see my boss is not in.. I don't even know what to do and i only had 1 other senior but he's a guy that won't do anything to surprise the other senior (he did not mention anything on the previous intern's last day). So i really have no idea how to deal with this.. Well i am not the kind of person who'll take the first step in gathering people and saying there's a celebration and someone is leaving.. i am shy yes...

So prepared a card and a ferrero rocher as a token of appreciation for her.

Even if my boss is not taking any action. I should be the one doing something for her in represent of the company. I am glad the other boss asked me to buy a cake. Yeah somebody says something finally! But i did not manage to get a whole cake. So i told the boss i couldn't get a cake and also mention that one of the colleague mention that my senior doesn't want a cake for her farewell. She doesn't want a party.. So i said to the boss, no party but just goodbye wish then. The boss call me over again. Can you get a cupcake instead? Ok.. maybe a slice of cake will do.

So i bought a slice of cake and got the boss to represent our company to present the cake to her and also thanked her for the 9 years contribution. The senior was happy receiving it. I am happy seeing her smile. Not everyone gathered since she doesn't one a celebration... She went and thanked everyone individually at the end of the day.
Story ends

Lesson learnt?
Even if someone says she doesn't want a farewell, do take the effort to surprise her.. She doesnt mean it. It's good to have at least a slice of cake for the person leaving. =D She'l b happy =)
Even if your boss/other senior is busy to take care of this matter, u should initiate.. Ex, tell the other boss to represent your company/your department.

So guys prepare well for a good farewell for a colleague.
It's good to keep a good relationship with the person who's leaving! <--- words of wisdom from the boss!

Too many farewell this year! =( Pei Ing Good Luck!! Farewell is a norm now!!! You can do it LPI!!!
People come and go... It's normal... I find it interesting somehow having fate with whoever i met!!
Destined to meet and part... This is life... It wont stop~ Still finding the person who'll stay forever~~~

The card which made her laugh =D

P/S: Friday lunch at Spezzatura! hehe... delicious sandwhich~~~

A Little Too Much

"She would not show that she was afraid,
But being and feeling alone was too much to face,
Though everyone said that she was so strong,
What they didn't know is that she could barely carry on"

"She would always tell herself she could do this
She would use no help it would be just fine
But when it got hard she would lose her focus
So take my hand and we'll be alright"


Isn't it a little too much to not know this song earlier?
Well everyone knows Shawn Mendes i guess..
Stitches! Yes, it's him! Great young singer right?

A little too much! 
This song came into my life when i felt the hard times..
The first time i heard it, tears fell (at work)
The lyrics were just so me...

A girl being strong because being strong is the only choice i have
Still it's a little too much...

힘내세요!!!

P/S: Somehow i posted twice in a day... I looked back on the old posts, I realize being a student i have more time posting.... I think I found back the use of my blog... Let's see how often i'l post again.. Til then... Annyeong~ Oh how many felt the lyrics is talking about u?

Dec 2014 in Medan, Indonesia

11 months ago i visited Medan and here's a very simple post~
Never really like writing hence pictures for viewing =D

Over looking Toba Lake...
Bluish sky~
Toba Lake
Samosir Island
My travel partners =D 
saw Sipisopiso Waterfall?

In Medan you shall see tombs everywhere... WHY???
Houses everywhere and hence tombs too.. well yes their tombs are located outside of their houses.
They believe that the deceased are clean. well is their family.. so its not an issue for them...

The people in Medan are called Batak...  They used to eat each other.. Shall remember this forever since this was told by my ex-boss~~~

HORRAS~~~
