Subject: My Departure...


Hi everyone

most of you have already known about my leaving the company. Well, this has actually been a very difficult decision for me. Throughout my employment at Income, it has been an enjoyable time learning things in the insurance line and getting along with colleagues. While I am aware that my time at Income is not long, I believe I am moving for good reasons. Life offers too many opportunities. I have one coming, I don't want to lose it. I will embark on a more challenging career, one which, I know, will keep me busier, yet is more fulfilling.

I would like to thank everyone of you here whom I've worked with and have guided me along. It's a pleasure working with you guys in BS department.

In particular, I would like to specially thank the following:

- Ms Salbiah and Mark
for hiring me and believing in me. And to Ms Salbiah, I will not forget your advice: 'Stay focused and steadily build up my career portfolio'. Thanks.

- Mr Seng
for being lenient as I was still new and strict when it's time to be strict. I will also not forget what you've told me before: 你要舍，才会得. (You must let go before you can gain). And yes, I am willing to let go of the higher pay at Income but gain a lot more at other areas in my new employment.

- Irene Ong
for painstakingly and singlehandedly trained me and the follow newbies at that time. It has been tough for you, yet you really show professionalism and patience to all newbies everytime.

- Edwin, Bryan & Eunice
for showing great leadership as CSM/ACSM. And to Bryan whom I can always see is always doing his best in whatever he does. You will make it! And to Eunice who is always very cool and able to keep her cool even in the most stressful situations.

- Samantha
for being not only a great colleague to work with, but also a great friend to cherish. I sincerely hope you will one day finally find what you have been searching for.

- Annie, Visha, Yani, Kum Fong & Saedah
for guiding me along while I was at Woodlands branch. And for being good colleagues whom I can talk everything under the sun with. And to Saedah, don't forget our & !!!!!!!! Perhaps the next time you eat KFC, you'll think of me!

- Magdalene
for being the friendliest Insurance Consultant (IC) in BC.


Today is my last day of work at Income, though my official last day is 2nd September. My email account should still remain active for at least the next 2 days. If you have any best wishes for me, I would really like to hear from you. In the mean time, I wish everyone of you all the best in Income and may BS continue to prosper and grow. Keep in touch.

Farewell...





Yours Sincerely,

For The Way I Live ~ lyrics

how I wish could have another chance
to turn back time once more again
in pitch darkness searching for your soul
to fill up my heart's emptiness

the journey is so never-ending
yet no one's there lending a hand
what lies ahead, what stays inside the dark
waiting for me to unravel

you're gone....you can't hold on
fool's paradise...is that what I wish for?
here I'm waiting...waiting for your comeback
and I'm thinking...thinking you will come back...will you come back?

*there it goes again, like it's always like that
for the way I live baby, I'm so sorry
wanted to hold you tight, had you stay by my side
in the end you flew away, looked for greener side

*you will not always stay, always seeking someplace
for the way I live, that's my only acceptance
I want to feel that what you did was alright
so I end up not forgiving myself, looking back crying

such wanderlust for love, searching for new pastures
a thousand times for you I'll try
please don't give me up so fast
bury my heartache, conceal my tears somewhere
that's the way I live
who else wants to change hands?

*there it goes again, like it's always like that
that's the way I live, that's the way I did
I want to feel that what you did was just alright
I end up not forgiving myself

Darling I'll try
a thousand times
for you I'll try
a thousand times
say goodbye

vacant space

somehow...there's always this emptiness in my heart that
needs to be filled
has to be filled
wants to be filled

who will occupy the vacant space?
a someone...the someone...that someone...

i see that familiar...there's acknowledgement...but slowly
that fades into thin air
as if nothing has ever happened
i then need to look for another space, another heart

and the cycle repeats

and the emptiness in my heart remains vacant

and the cycle repeats

Rainbow ~ lyrics

can you still remember the sunshine we had?
and the smiles that never left us?
are these the best days you miss just like I do?
now they are all gone for good

who has brought us to a new dimension?
from clear blue sky to dark clouds
who has chased away our happiness?
we look back in tears...

all the good times they fly like a bird
so high as far it leaves no trace behind
why do we cry how do we move on
beyond the dark will we find the light

in bitter times we combat the fight
so tough so rough but can we still survive
we move bravely on battle in the storm
we will lead ourselves to the rainbow

Waves ~ poem

If I were a wave I would travel to faraway
carry with me all the happiness throw away all the fears

If you were a wave where would you carry me to
a place of idyll I hope it would

I need a wave to splash away the dirtiness
the loneliness and the confusion

You need a wave to hug you caress you embrace you
assuaging you everything will be alright

We need a wave to bring us to another site
a new glory of hope where we find

Who needs a wave where the tide comes high
when the need arises and the time is right

My Graduation

Our graduation was on 10 July 2008. Had a wonderful time taking photos and catching up with some uni friends. Time really flies. 3 years of being a slack uni students are gone so quickly. Ever since I've started working, I've been rather busy on weekdays. No time for slacking or going to the gym. I will defintely miss taking bus 95 and complaining how slow the bus arrivial is, going to the school gym, attending lectures and either eating in the LT or daydreaming halfway through the lecture, copying notes and blah blah blah...

My Job Training

It really has been busy weeks for me since I started on my first job this month. I never thought the job I apply for could be so tough! Training has been enriching and well, a bit stressful, for me. Perhaps because I'm still new to the workforce and there're a lot of things I don't know and have to learn. But I will perserve!

My fellow new colleagues are bubbly and it's a pleasure working and learning with them. Too bad the training is going to end next week and soonafter, we will go separate ways. It's really nice knowing them and for me, I really wish to do well in this job. That's so much to learn, so much to overcome and so much to gain. I will hang on!
