Ulu Yam Trip

I'm still pretty exhausted after the trip yesterday. My working team mates and me went to Ulu Yam for our so-called team building trip. Should we say it as team building trip? I have no idea also. I think it can be consider as four events, the team building, welcoming the three newbies into our team, birthday celebration of the second quarter (April to June) and farewell for Nesa, Benjamin and me, myself.

It's pretty tiring because I have to wake up early in the morning and pick up Nesa from Sri Sentosa, then drive to Bandar Tun Razak to pick up Leanne and Siew Yin before meeting up the rest of them team mates at McDonald's, Taman Melati Utama.

When everyone were there, we drive up in ranch together to the location. After parking our cars, we tried to locate a spot to settle down and get prepare for the 'feast'. LOL. Fizah, Alina and Dalila were taking care of preparing the chicken. They were the one to grill the chicken but maybe I'm not really use to the cooking method they used, I didn't eat much the chicken. It's outer part is overcooked a little, somehow charcoal like. LOL.

I was thinking to get my feet wet only at first just like Siew Yin, Ruth and Calvin. However, we weren't lucky. I'm the worst one, gotten Aline to pull me into the water. I was splashed all over and completely wet like the cat under the rain. Everyone get all wet except for Mun Wah.

After all the water war we had, we get off the river and ate again. Not to forget the cheese cake we brought for the birthday boys and girls. The cheese cake was not that solid anymore. Well, it's not put in the refrigerator and keep cold enough to enjoy but it's still not too bad. Maybe because I love cheese cake, so I didn't nag much about it. LOL.

After the whole trip, we went back home and get bath. I mean my house, Leanne and Siew Yin were there in my house to get bath and change before we head to Mid Valley to walk around and enjoy our dinner. It's pretty fun to hang out with colleagues. Soon, this will be harder to be done as I'm leaving the company soon.

I drove them back to the LRT station before heading to meet up with Charles and Theresa to catch up 'Prince of Persia'. Finally I watched it after so long of wanting to watch it. I just can't get anyone to watch with me. There are more movies that I wanted to watch as well. I wanted to watch Karate Kid and The Socceror's Apprentice.

Team Leader is Leaving

Another shocking news from my management today that my team leader, Benjamin is leaving the team. He just tendered his resignation this Monday and HR department still calculating when will be his last day with the company. Ironically, he will most probably leaving a week earlier than me despite that I have tendered my resignation way earlier than him.

Although it's pretty shocking piece of news, but I'm still dealing with it quite well as I'm leaving too soon. There will be not much impact to me. Of course, everyone will be missing him including me. This scenario same goes to Sook Fuang. Both of the most influent person for me in my team are leaving. I think I should rephrase, one already left and one is going to be.

Anyway, everyone of us seems to be leaving due to better opportunity awaits us somewhere. We have to move on with our life and try to excel ourselves. For me and Benjamin case, we are trying something way different from where we are, starting from zero, probably and hopefully become hero at the end of the tunnel.

Hopefully the team will still stay on firm and good and I do hope to keep in touch with most of them as best as we could be. Now, I can only be looking forward for the Ulu Yam trip next Saturday as to celebrate 4 different occasion. Firstly, as part of team building, followed by welcoming the 3 new recruits to our team, second quarter of birthday celebration and last but not least, the farewell of Nesa, Benjamin and me, myself.

Newbies

This week, 3 new recruits have join us and currently undergoing training by my team leader with some assistance from my colleague, Mei Teng and me. Well, I think I did nothing much than talking non-stop. LOL.

This time, 2 new guys and a girl. It turns out that all of them are from biomedical science background just like me and 2 of them (a guy called Jun Jie and a girl call Jing Jing) are my junior from my university. Such a coincident.

Training newbies is pretty cool. You gotta share lots of thing with them and it somehow make them interact with you. I feel somehow it's not that boring compare to facing that motionless and expressionless monitor processing claims after claims. Probably I am bored with my job right now and I'm starting to get lazy since this is my last month at my current company.

I'm still considering what small gift I will be giving my team mates before I leave the company end of this month. I have something in my mind but I think I don't want to share it here first. Don't want to spoilt the surprise. Anyway, it's such something small that many it's not even significant after I left.

I'm looking forward to my new employment at my new company and I'm thrill with what is awaiting me there. However, at the same time, I am worrying about the new environment that I will be facing next month and the new challenges that awaits me there too. Lord, please grant me strength to face the road aheads me. Amen.
