Today marks my last day.

As I put goodies in the pantry, a few colleagues came to me and asked me what's the occasion for me to share goodies with everyone. My reply was, "today is my last day.." And they got a shocked!

The whole office did not know that I was resigning. Usually, standard practice... a representative frm the dept will email to all informing that "so and so last day will be on (date). We plan to give her a farewell gift etc etc.."

I DO NOT WANT ALL THAT.

I have my reason. Remember the blogging incident involving me and the lady? She was asked to leave unexpectedly and therefore no farewells for her. I have given my resignation letter because I have got a new offer and I requested to the pple in my dept that I WANT NO FAREWELL.

I do not want her minah friends in the office to relate to her that it was unfair I have farewell and she didn't. So to be fair, no farewells for her... same for me... Ok.. enuff.. let's not talk abt her..

Standard procedures in the company that if one leaves, one needs to have the Exit of Notification Letter signed by the director in charge of dept, else the HR won't release the check. I went in to the Director's room (u shld know which director... the same director who decides on my withdrawal of resignation that time) and get his signature.

He asked me questions and of course I respectfully answered him. He wished me all the best and would like to keep in touch VIA Facebook. As I was abt to leave his office (his secretary was outside), he stepped out of his office and said, "If U change your mind or wants to come back, do let me know.."

I related this to my closest colleague. She was awed and shocked by what I shared to her. This is her comment, "See, if U do your work properly and efficiently, U respect pple, pple will respect U.. U want to come back, U have high chances already. I think in future, U can drop him a message VIA Facebook to ask abt his kids, life and so on. I dun find it wrong to do that."

Errr... Sure... I will try...

I will be starting my new job / career in HR cum Corporate Service EXECUTIVE on 1st March.

I am excited and counting down the days. Yes, a part of me is sad to leave ECSF, coz though my resignation was pending - now NOT ANYMORE - I am able to stay there as long as my superior is around. She helped me alot. She kept saying I am efficient in my work and sad to know I will be leaving..

Part of me is happy to leave ECSF coz I am happy to get a job that is finally somehow related with what I've studied! At least, I can get to experience how tough / easy is the job. Studying abt it is different. Having the experience to it is another matter. Syukur Alhamdulillah.. Allah gives me the chance to experience a job related to what I've studied.

My grandma asked me this question, "tempat ECSF takkan la takder kerja yang kau nak, Marketing?" Sighz... I have to lie to her. I told her, "ader tapi orang tu belum berhenti lagi." My grandma replied, "Ah ah ehk.. kalau org tu berhenti, da tentu director kasi kau tu kerja," Sighz... I have to lie to appease my dear grandma else she will curse and swear the company. I know.

The actual reason /answer = the colleague who was in Marketing has left. Her last day was on 30 December last year. Her replacement? Well, they have got a replacement for her on 27 December and her replacement is NOT ME. See? I knew it already. Org melayu susah nak dpt kerja Marketing. I didnt tell my granny that else, she will be disappointed in ECSF for not giving her granddaughter the chance. That's why I have to lie to her.

Ok, gtg now.. I wanna go Novena to have my hair cut. Kerja baru, designation baru, rambut pun mesti nak baru... LoL..
