Farewell my friends, till we meet meet again

Today, on Valentine's Day 2005 I bade farewell to my four friends who are returning home to Singapore after 3 months plus or stint here in HDPM. Three months ago we are just counterparts, trainers and trainees, mentor and apprentice but today we are equal as friends. How i remember when i first got into SGH CC training class, i was introduced by Cindy to Felina and Elyssa, our trainers on the mission to train us the first team to handle the job assigned by HQ ( a fancy way to descibe work migration ). The first impressions was that these are executives with an air of arrogance in them ( Felina only larr) but the impressions are not true as we got to know each other. That was 3 months ago and along the way we had our share of adventures and fun together and in the process learn to master our job task. Vic and Cat arrived as reinforcements to Felina and Elyssa one month after the initial theoritical training and they were assigned to train us on the field, the real thing. From you guys, i have learned alot and have definetely graduated to be a competent agent despite still needing time to the be the best. Three months is definetely a short time but long enough to forge a friendship. Here are some of things i can put into words to describe the trainers and managers, the people that have made a difference:

Cindy ( Training Manager);
The lady that is responsible for our training in SGH CC and also the first trainer go home on January. The first team has learned so much about credit cards and the banking system from her and also passed and failed some of her exams.hehehe. We do miss the cheerful smile and stories you would tell us during training. I am also grateful and thankful to her for her advice on how to live the working environment on a Christian perspective and i will always remember what you have shared with me on your experiences and may God bless you always.

Kelvin ( Internet Services Manager);
Man, this wiseguy does have a wit and his sly jokes are killer ( they can kill you).hehehe.Had much fun with him and will miss the entertainment when he is around.

Cheryl ( Customer Service Manager);
I learn how to handle difficult situations from her and am now more confident to kill mad customers.hehehe. I have learned from the boss.

Catherine ( Mentor);
She looks quiet and blur at times but her actions can kill you. A fun person to chat with and always have suprises up her sleeve. Will miss the Brunei terminal chill out sessions where she went and email some prank to the SOC girls involving me and Prakie. One cool Cat this is.

Elyssa ( Mentor and Trainer);
The patient one. I began to appreciate her patience when i personally listened and mentored couple of newbies and realised that she has been patient in listening to our calls and teaching us the correct way to do things. She has earned my respect for her patience and i'll never forget her wayang screenplays.hehehe.

Mike ( Mentor);
He can crack jokes out of thin air. A quiet funny guy whose jokes and chat sessions will be missed around the office. Wish ya could hang around a little longer.

Vic ( Mentor ) ;
I would defintely miss her bubbly presence around the office. I have had a great time hanging out with her and also talking about books and stuff. She always complains that i am vain like Felina and my little actions will attract comments of vainess.hhehee, will miss that too. Thanks for the poem, i am touched as a friend. Take care and May the force be with you.

Felina ( Mentor and Trainer);
What can i say about this person? Vain and noisy worse than me, i found The Mentor. As the apprentice , not only i have learned about credit cards and workflow but also fashion tips from the master herself. In three months, we have had so much fun and outings that i will miss now in the office. I have no gym to go anymore, i have one less fellow vainpot in the office but most of all i have a void in my office life now ( hahaha...no shopping kaki to talk to anymore ). I cant put to words your influence on me and so much more things that we did this 3 months but i would like sum it up into a big Thank You and its been great knowing you. Will see ya around the Net.


To end this long ode to my friends and counterpart, I wish all the best in what life has to offer and May God Bless You Always. I will keep in touch with you guys and till the next time we meet, Peace.
