its was a happy and farewell dinner for Mr Chew for SGX. well it seems like typical work life at SCB.
hear that he's under the 'white trousers' grp and will be offering his best to the country. Al l the best!
By tradition, every one is suppose to make a farewell speech to him.
O.O oh damn I was going for the dinner! Do I have to make that speech too? hahah Jacy said I just had to eat and laugh and that is good. At The Legend, Fort Canning park it was a informal gathering and throughout, I listen to what they have to say. One word, ' Impressive' cos the man who was leaving is a good speaker and excellent at expressing his thoughts fast, clear and humorous at times. As for others, were his friends and partners at work.
He said:
At work, different people look for different things. Some are craving their careers and some are just to be there and spends time with family. While there are very few people who are really there in the company who is truly serving it and doing the best for the company's good.
This he said was very true. Yet He found friends at the place where I thought would be so complicated.
Relationships, Friendships, Colleagues, Bosses, Subordinates and Partners.
Like I told Mark (colleague at work) that it was a surprise to me as ever since I went to poly - I nvr thought I would find real close friends. Here i am willing to eat my own words !!
Realise that it is about the WILLINGNESS to make friends or just be colleagues.
Now there is different perception in friendship at work. hahah ..
Getting along well with work place people.. but working till end June only. So sad.. cos I kinda like that environment there and the nice people. They don't put up airs and approachable. And most importantly - friendly and surprisingly polite LOL.. maybe its considered as a small universe there - we have Korean, south Africans, Australian, Malaysian, Singaporeans, Taiwanese, Americans, Canadians, Indians, Chinese. fantastic mix of culture.
Here an advice for A-Z Stress Management ------> Forgive, don't hold grudges. Be tolerant- not everyone is as capable as you. Unresolved anger and unforgiveness will eat into. Forgiveness may not change others, but it will certainly change you.
