Anyway, I woke up earlier than normal and took some photo bookmarks for my colleagues and went to work. I reached the office around 7:10am and I get to work immediately by distributing the bookmarks to all the people in Level 8 and Level 9 offices. I never knew that there are still so many people in Acergy as the bookmarks are hardly enough for all.
The next thing I did was to have breakfast with Peter, Florence and Angela and talk over coffee, but I guess this will be the last. After breakfast, I started to sort out all the papers on my desk, distributing to either Lai Huat or Anand.
After that, I went for lunch with Florence, Peter and John at Great Wall City. Really thanks for the lunch guys and gal.
At around 4:50pm, I went to find Eunice to hand over my office pass, then I walked back to my computer and start to send out my Farewell email to my colleagues in Acergy which I have been drafting for the last few days. I will include my email content later in this post.
Hi All,
As some of you may have heard, today (19th Aug 2009) will be my last day in Acergy.
I will just like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude, thanks and appreciation to all of you.
It has been a truly satisfying and memorable 1 year plus experience to be working with all in one way or another and I would never have realized how connected I would be to such a warm community of people. I hope that I was able to leave my footprint behind in the heart of those whom I worked closely with especially the Perth team where I have spent my last few months working very closely for the Pluto and Pyrenees Project and also not forgetting my HSEQ team in Singapore and all those in Singapore office.
Looking back, starting from LiuHua, to Van Gogh and Bluewater and finally Pyrenees mob, can’t believe that I have been through so much with both Singapore and Perth team. My only regret is that I cannot see the end of Pyrenees project and also to see through Pluto project.
Looking forward, Tomorrow I will wake up in my new life, full of yet-to-be realized opportunities, and empty of your company... I will be in a strange limbo.
In short, “BASICALLY” a very Big Thank-You to all for the guidance, support, friendship and also patience as well. Not forgetting to thank Acergy for giving me a chance to be part of this big family and dynamic team.
As the saying goes "A journey of thousand miles begins underneath one's feet". Every thing in life has a beginning, and indeed, a new chapter for me is about to unfold. Guess the same applies to all of you, for everyday, there maybe something new waiting for you to be explored. One part of my journey has ended, another will begin. Hope that in the near future our path may be able to cross again, so till then take care and keep in touch. Good luck & All the best!!!
To quote Shakespeare, who is a better word-smith than I am:
"And whether we shall meet again I know not.
Therefore our everlasting farewell take:
For ever, and for ever, farewell, friends!
If we do meet again, why, we shall smile;
If not, why, then this parting was well made."
Life is like a series of banquets; people are always getting together, and dispersing again. I really treasure the friendship I have with each and every one of you and will miss you all. Saying goodbye to all my friends here is the hardest thing for me to do but still, all I can say is Farewell to all, Thank you very much, Farewell.
