29 December 2005
Mr xxx,
I would like to tender my resignation as Part Time Administrator with effect from the above date, thus by giving 7 days notice, my effective last working day would be 6th January 2006.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for all the guidance during my employment in KCAP.
As much as I wish to stay in this company, I have decided after much discussion with my family that it would be best for me to give my full concentration to my studies during this time. I thank you for your appreciation for my effort and my work throughout my term of service. I also hope you will understand from my point of view that making this decision does not come easy.
Lastly, I hope that the company will not have any major disturbance without my presence. I do hope there is a possibility that we may work together again in future.
Sincerely,
Maria

Yup, I have resigned! Tmr (6th Jan) is my last day. On 9th January, I will b starting a new job (a totally whole new working environment/job scope - NO MORE OFFICE KINDA OF WORK; gonna miss sitting in front of computers.. *sad face* )
Where's da new working plc? Well, remember my Dec 22 entry? Yup >> NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF SINGAPORE. I got da job! A representative called me on Dec 27 and told me to start work on 3rd Jan.. however i informed to da representative tat i can only start aft giving 7 (seven) days of notice (as wat i had blog on tat day)
I was quite nervous when there was a silence. Da representative replied to me tat he had to check with his senior/superior abt tat and wld call me later. My heart was beating as fast as a shooting bullet. 5 mins later, I received a call frm da same number and da same representative. Da gd news: Start work on 9th January!! I was jumping with joy!
Although da job sounds and looks kinda tedious..but like wat my mum mentioned to me, a government job.... *eyes rolling* Oh well...
K, if u had read da above resignation letter, I am pretty sure all of u muz b surprised at y i express da letter tat way. Easy. My current - going to be ex(w.e.f 6 Jan 06)- colleagues and employers knw tat i am studying for my Bachelor's Degree. Hence, I am being too kind and lenient and not too harsh on them by expressing tat way. Heh. My mum was happy wif da resignation letter. Frm 27 Dec to morning of 29 Dec..she kept on repeating da same thing. Here is wat she says.
"Kau jgn tulis mcm tu. Kau tulis dan ckp depan mereka tu yg kau nak kerja yg full time permanent.. Kau ckp kau nak rasa juga duit bonus, annual leave, medical leave.. Kau jgn terlalu tulus dan jujur.. Org boleh pijak kepala kau. Dan bila kau ckp depan mereka, jgn suara yg alahai lembut nye.. kau kena ckp dgn tegas. Kau tulis balik surat berhenti kau."
Did I rewrite da resignation letter as wat she requested? Of course NOT.. da reason's still give my full concentration to my studies. My mum was furious when she read tat letter in da morning of Dec 29. She said, "Kau ni degil. Ikut kata kau. Kan mak suruh tulis lain. Apasal nak takut dgn mereka. Salah mereka la.. SATU TAHUN kau kerja di company mereka tapi tak permanent kan kau, asyik part-time. Dah bagus tu kau sabar menunggu dan menanggung (is tat da correct spelling? - sorry coz my malay really sucks!) tapi mereka pandang kau takde mata, masih ambil kau sebagai part time. "
Heck! I dun bother! So, 9th January, new job for me. Its gonna b tedious and hectic schedule for me hence, I wont b blogging much often. My new job area wont b an office environment at all..its gonna be in some kinda lab.. *shrugs* To Rashidah, I will update once a while on my new job, dun worry.. *smilez*
U knw, I felt guilty lying to my current - soon to be former - colleagues and employer. But i think wisely, since they knw tat i am studying part time, its best to tell them tat i am quitting becoz I want to concentrate on my studies (as in going back to study as a full time)
I really dun mean to lie. Since 29 Dec till today, they kept asking me, "So if once u've graduated, will u b coming back n join us?" and "U switched to full time studies?" etecetra.
Sigh..very guilty..
