`My journey of Complex Complications and Happy Happiness

Yesterday was my last day at UBS!!

As I left Suntec yesterday, I felt kind of sians cos it really feels like I have not achieved much in the last 2 years...

Some of my colleagues were quite sweet to me. Even the new secretary whom I knew for barely a week gave me her job hunter's friend's contacts in case I need it.

My best eat snake buddies treated me to lunch twice even though the lunches blew his daily budget of $40!

Boss was especially good to me the past two days, calling time and again to check on me, to guide me through every step. I think I caused him much distress over the YHF accusation. Felt really really bad when my colleague in HK told me that he looked terrible the day of the YHF incident. But well, at least I can tell that he does appreciates me although he has never said anything the past two years I have been with him and although he said I am stubborn right after all the positive things. And best is he even volunteered to be my reference and helped me look through my CV! Where to find a nicer boss?

SH and taiwan Viki also called me and cried really hard when they heard that I was leaving... Maybe I should have told them earlier... Kind of touched by their reaction although they really cried non stop and although they almost made me cry with their tears and although I dont really treat them all that well sometimes (occasionally lah oops!).

One of the other onboarder who used to always argue with me over work actually took the bus specially from ORQ to have a cup of starbucks with me. And after that she sent an email to boss saying it is a great loss to the bank that I am leaving and that she enjoyed working with Cyn and I despite our healthy arguments which I thought was really nice and sweet and also a bit funny. And I think Cynthia got a bit red-eyed when she read the email.

Hate farewells but I am kind of glad to leave some of the things behind. The things that we usually dread, the business lunches, the strategising, the hypocrites, the crystal jades, the irritating ones, the idiotic ones, the political ones.... But I am really afraid I will not meet another boss as nice as this one although at times I may have my complains about him but its really the help and support that he gave me during times of need that is important.

Wonder what I will be doing next after I am thoroughly rotten.
