I was awarded 10 years service + $$ this afternoon but I am not happy at all.
Looking at the faces around me in the conference room, I am speechless.
I dump the red envelope on my desk after the "celebration" and con't working. I only open it closed to end of my shift. Looking at the certificate remind me of Ferin. I remembered she was very excited when she got her award and was counting the $$ infront of everyone. I open up my envelope as well, took out the money and start counting 1,2,3,4.....10! Suddenly I was happy for that 5 mins. Not because of the money but because of the old good memories.

I really miss the old days....
I didn't make any speech this afternoon but i would like to say something here:-
I wanted to thanks my managers:-
Steve & Trinia - Thanks for the opportunity to have me joined your team although I am not that "qualified". The 1st 2 years in bowne was very challenging. Your support and encouragement make me have more confident in doing my job.
Gary Judd - You have lead and show me a very good example of being a good superior. I have learnt alot from you. You are always positive and patient. I had a very great time working with you . The happiest time i am with bowne was from the time i joined till you left us and went back to London.
Lerma - You are always very supportive and let me have the freedom to do what i want on the job (ofcourse within the limits la, hahah). You continue to build up my confident and have trust in the decision i make for jobs. Thanks for your faith in me and sometime I find this a little pressurize coz I find I cannot fail you......
Trinia - My ACSM and later a work buddy. Although i always "bully" you after you re-joined the BSI CS team but I know you know i care alot of you inside my heart. I am someone that also dunno how to express my love and concern specially to the peoples I really treasured.

Next I wanted to thanks CP - although you always your mood swing but you taught me alot as well.
Janet - Thanks for being such a good friends for so many years. Cant believe you are 10 yrs older than me!!!!Hahhaha.
Damian - Seeing you always reminded me when I 1st join Bowne. Thanks for being such a good "sister" too. hahahha!

Last, thanks to many other people in Bowne (although your name was not mentioned above doesn't mean you are not important).

Without all of you, there will be no Florence Phua in Bowne today!

Thank you once again to all my friends in Bowne.
