Actually Yen had left the department for more than a week, he tendered 2 weeks ago and suppose need a further 3 months notice before continuing his next journey.
However, his sudden departure really shocked us, he never got to say good bye, never able to tell us what had happened.
The only thing we knew was, Yen was asked to leave the company immediately due to concern of business risk (as told by my manager), but will compensate the 3 months salary for him.
He got the news 1 hr before his departure and was in shock no doubt, never able to clear up his stuffs or belonging, handover his project in rush, and I only heard a whisper of "thank you" before he gone.
I never thought it was a good bye, and yet it was really too sudden.
So we had a private farewell for him tonight, reason being private was because we want to keep it secret, especially from those managers and the gossip colleagues.
We really suspect our skype account or privacy on our pc was stalked, plus we were warned in advance not to share any info with Yen, i not sure if it including contacting him.
Well, the concern maybe was because Yen had gone to the competitors (apparently it was just an ingredient company), but i really think there is no need to reveal where he going to.
This is every employee's right to keep his/her secret and privacy, you should not force us to tell everything. Of cause, we couldnt stop you for suspecting and requesting for immediate leave.
It was ok, i am getting used to the absence of Yen, tho I missed him sometimes especially during lunch time.
The farewell tonight was set at Boat Noodle in the Gamuda Walk mall at Kota Kemuning. I was late because of this:
Yes, I finally had changed my phone after nearly 3 years as it was starting lagging and the memory was full which stopped me from downloading new app.
And yeah, I chose Iphone finally, and joined the apple family =D
I used to oppose buying phone in a decent price, as I dont see the necessary on spending large amount of money for a device that used to communicate.
However, I couldnt help with the trend, and really see the necessary to get a good phone as nowadays I really could not help on not able to get internet and downloading new app.
No matter how, I still opposing being addicted with the phone, I still think the best connection between people is talking face-to-face.
After getting my phone package at Digi in Pyramid, I drove all the way to the venue where I had my first boat noodle.
It had been popular since 2 years ago, with the small portion of size costed RM1.90 per bowl.
There are 2 type of soup: the spicy one (Pathumtani) and the ordinary broth (Ayutthaya), with choice of rice noodle or egg noodle and selection of chicken or beef.
Pathumtani is dark soy sauce broth with appetizingly sour-ish and delicate spicy flavor, I quite like it.
Whereas Ayutthaya has an intensive flavor based creamy dark broth with no less than ten herbs and spices. Most of us preferred Ayutthaya over Pathumtani.
For me, both were just ok, I dont think I would come again.
First of all, i think there is nothing special, but maybe a good idea for weight loss due to its small portion.
Second, the price aint cheap, and there were not much variety. It just surrounding fried stuff, chicken ball.....mostly unhealthy food.
Well, at least my colleagues and Yen enjoyed the food, and it was a good night.
To be honest, we dint get to talk too much because there were too many different languages around and it was kinda awkward too.
But, it was good to see Yen again and know he is doing good.
Wish him a better career future ahead =)
