To all my wonderful ex-colleagues at Mass Power Services Pte Ltd

Today is Tuesday. It's my last day with Mass Power Services Pte Ltd. I started missing the place already.Monday[yesterday] was the most important day, because it was my 2nd time conducting training, and my last with Mass Power.

And it's already over... Basically, this entry, i would like to start thanking people. It's an emotional moment as i write. This entry is about gratitude, being thankful to those who have touched me in some way or another. Thanking God for allowing our paths to cross. I was thankful that it wasn't a real emotional moment when i left the office. My heart was weeping though.

Fellow Masspowerians! This entry is dedicated totally to all of you!!

Raymond Chan, The Boss
Thank you for giving me a chance, and to be able to work under you. Though you were at times really very demanding, yet, you have been so 'generous' toward me in the area of my sales target. Thank you for be so tolerating towards me, my nonsense, thank you for your care and concern.

I really thank God, for giving me such a wonderful boss, who tolerates me like no other boss has ever done that, and despite me wanting to leave, giving me more options, to continue to grow and nurture in the aspect of Training and Development. I am who i am, because you are there to teach me, setting my foundations for my future. And now, I have to leave, and i know that the path further down, is going to be tough, but i know that as the going gets tough, the tough gets going. I got tough, because i was trained by you. You taught me what to do, what not to do in my coming job. No words can express how grateful i am, eternally to you.

Thank you for the wonderful advice that you gave me today. It was never about the good food or the breath-taking scenary over the Durian or the CBD. But it's all your advice that made the day. Thank you, once again.

Hartony Tan, Operations Executive
You are one person that really helped me TREMENDOUSLY. I guess, within close proximity, you know what i go through, and the difficulties. When i was at Burlington, you sat directly behind me. Those times were really stressful, i must say. But i thank God, that you are there. Because u are the only person i can turn to, the person that i must,need, have to account to.

Thank you for all the 'counseling sessions' that u suddenly called for, quite often. And because of all the sharing sessions, you know about all our struggles, stresses. Thank you for your counselling and sharing of your good/bad experiences, that we learned a lot from there, and ur crappiness. It brings a warm thought whenever i remember these small little things and events.

Though u have already left Mass Power, but i want u to know that i'm very grateful to you. Thank you for being there. And really grateful for being my reference. God bless you.

Sophia Heng, Operations executive
Auntie has been the lady that i look to for guidance. Ever since i came back to Bugis branch, you made me feel so loved, by remembering that i'm here, and making me feel very involved. You extended your friendship, by joining with me to go for Bodycombat classes when you didn't have to study. It's like you made an extra bit of effort to get into my life, though the main thing is exercising.

Sometimes, a person who cares doesn't need to do things. Just be around. And you are there. Auntie, thank you once again for being my reference. I guess i won't get the job if you weren't. I will not let u and Tony down. I will do my best in the world outside. But i want u to know that you are close to my heart. Though i may not be able to help you with your HR assignments anymore, but when i come across all these, i will think of you.

Do u know that when u called me while on the way to gym, those words that u said, stirred up such strong emotions within me. Though it's only like a few sentences, but i really appreciate them. Love ya!!!

Rose illiany
My dear!! Thank you for being my friend. We walked through thick and thin at Bugis as newbies, and shifted together to Burlington. Thank you for this friendship that we have. Though i'm much older than you (ok lah, only 5 years difference...), but we really clicked! Though u have left Mass Power in March, but i want you to know that you have left an imprint in my life. @>===

Jay Tay
Yo irritating guy!! I always remember that u will not forget grudges!!! Hahahaha... anyway, thank u for be the irritating guy u are, and stay irritating!!! Sales been improving yeah?! Good for you. Continue to do ur best. I see that among Tony, Rose and myself, you are the only contender left in Burlington.

I will always remember how u will say "No" when i asked if i can turn down the air-con at Burlington!! I will remember you by ur reactions. Wherever i feel brrr-cold because of the air-con, i guess it will remind me of u. What a way of rememberance huh?

Derek Yue, Managing Director
I always have difficulty recognizing your voice when you called and when u say u are ghost (-_-)'''.... but i guess i can recognize ur voice better now. Thank you for your guidance, after Tony left. I felt safer, and that i know that if i don't understand anything, i can turn to you for help. I didn't feel very lost for very long. Thank you for your crappiness, which turned Burlington more brrr-cold (-_-)'''

Elvin Ling
I didn't really get to know u much, until i came back to Bugis. Well, but i guess these 4 months, i have come to understand u a bit more. Apart from being very hardworking, and really chiong for sales, you are a very willing person, to help others, such as Amy and Vickie to buy lunch.... running errands for Boss.

Do ur best, and be the best consultant. I'm sure u can do it. Thank you for your many helps, and stop yelping (yes, which i think it as gui-jiao) my name, as if u are calling ghost. Sometimes it's really irritating leh, because it's as if i have gone liao... I mean, i don't think u will start ur 'gui jiao' after i leave, though the difference is i have left..Mass Power.

Alan Oh
Thank you for your friendship, and your high level of crappiness. Maybe it's because our age is quite close (okok, i'm older haha...) , i feel that i can click with you quite well. You are someone that is very vocal, and is willing to express out. Not a lot of people have that boldness that you have. I'm sure u will go far in life.

Thank you for your friendliness. It's been a great time working together with you in the same office. U made the whole Bugis very friendly, and a very interactive environment. God bless u. Be the best daddy u can be to ur Baby boy!

Justin Cheok
I remembered that you are the person who taught me on what is stenography, when i was expediting for the Secretary position. I think that was the 2nd or my 3rd day at Mass Power. There, you were, teaching me, explaining to me what stenography is and stuff like that. And that was like 7plus in the evening. Thank you very much for that. I really appreciate that.

And i won't forget, the number of times u lock me in the pantry, when u forget that i'm still inside the loo. Hmmm... i guess that's how i remember u by. And now u have left Mass Power - one day before i did, here's wishing you best in ur future endeavours.

Josephine Tan
I remembered you to be the really thin and fair lady. And one of the top sales achiever. Though u have already left Mass Power, but here's wishing you success in your future endeavour.

Damien Lee
First thought is that you are very street-smart. And i know that you are motor-mouth. Really shoot people very siong ah. When u came over to Burlington, i was like "Argh". But u are still quite a nice colleague to be with, except for your straight-shooting without considering for others. And i will always remember those times u and Aaron will make me go and ta-pau for you. Urgh.

But, i still want to thank you, for being my colleague. I guess the way i remember you is by ur shrewness in suaning people. God bless. Tame that mouth. =)

Ivan Mah
Mr MacDonald! Thank you for ur friendship, and ur immerse sense of crappiness, and your kindness. I remembered the time that u were telling me that u realized why i wanted to leave, because of my poor sales. I remembered u asking me if let's say if u co-broke with me, you give me the full sales so that i can close cases, and no need to leave Mass Power.

I want u to know that i am very touched by that statement that u made. Though i didn't really know u that well, but ur kindness really made me see a different side of you, besides your funnyman image. Thank you for your friendship once again. One thing though: get a grip on ur nose! Don't let it rule your life. U should really consider a nose-transplant [joking lah, where got such thing, right?] God bless u.

Aaron Tan
What should i say? Thanks for keeping silent during those times when Boss suan-ed us. And though u have already left Mass Power, but i want u to know that u are a very nice guy. Really!! At least u don't have a foul mouth. =) Sometimes, at Burlington, u can be as irritating as Damien, but thankfully most of the time u are nicer. Hehe.. God bless u. May u have a great future. Become an Account manager someday yah!!

Kenneth Chan
Ah Sui!!! Hahaha... I really like ur hairstyle leh... Armani. Thank you for being where you are. I guess maybe u are one of the few who may access to this webpage. My England is not so Powderful at times, but i know that at work and at play, you are who u are. God bless!! Chiong to be the Top consultant.

Andy Chua
Hmmm....thank you for being helpful with the co-broking thingy. I remembered u calling me a few times the last 2 weeks to help me to look for the Accountant position. Really appreciate it. Well, i guess u are one of those that i didn't really have a chance to interact with. Nevertheless, be the best that u can. Bring more sales to Burlington!!!

Andy Tan
Thank you very much, for much encouragement to lose weight, for allowing me to pour out my frustrations, my struggles at work. Thanks for all the understanding when i had PMS, and enduring my ever-crazy moodswings. Though we are from very different churches, who have really different and maybe conflicting christian values, but i feel that i can relate to you very well. And... i try not to be in my own world... haha

One more thing: I'm really jealous of your loooong eyelashes! Dank! Be bless!

Grow in the Lord in your walk with Him, and be the best u can be. Just do your best, God will do the rest.

Ronan Cai
Thank you for your help when i was away in KL. U know what was my first impression of you when u first came to Mass Power? Someone that is very fresh out of school. And i guess u are. You are someone that i see that is not confident, and does not dare to step out. I guess by leaving Mass Power is one way that you stepped out, into the unknown. Here's wishing you success!

Rebecca Chen
Gal, thank you for 'sacrificing' yourself, when i shifted back to Bugis, and you were posted to Burlington. I felt so bad, but yet i realized that it's more convenient for you. And yet, you are back in Bugis. I am sorry that it has caused u so much movement. But i'm really glad that you are back, that i can have some time to know u much more. And now that i'm going to leave, i'll miss you, and really regret not tapping to your life to know more about you.

Thank you for being so willing, and taking the effort. I know that here and there, you do have certain struggles too. But take heart that whenever you need, u can call me. Don't give yourself too much stress, just do your best at work. You have performed much better than i was at Mass Power. God bless!! Let's meet often for Shopping!! Hahaha....

Amy Lau
Amy!! Thank you for being there. I will miss having the morning conversations with you, whenever i pass by your table to go and wash my cup. I will miss seeing you walk by my table to go to Boss' cubicle, and coming pass by to smile at me, and asked me what i was doing. Thank you for being my friend. i will miss you.

Vickie Sim
Hmmm... we didn't really have much time to communicate, but just want to encourage you. U are doing really well, first week at work already close case. Really very amazing. Continue to be the best u can be.

Abel Neoh
Thank you for taking up my accounts, esp those that i have told you. I hope that you can serve them well, and enjoy your work. U asked me over the phone the other day why i want to leave. If given a choice, i won't want to leave. I leave because i wanted something more than just doing recruitment/sales. This is the best place you could ever have worked in, i can assure you. Pls thank your lucky stars for that. Tap to your superiors, to Derek and/or Boss. Be willing to chiong sales and learn. And close as many sales as possible. I'm sure you will do well in Mass Power. Gambatte ne!

****

It doesn't even matter if you all will ever read this, but just want to share how much i appreciate every single one of you. I thank all of you for helping to shape and mold my life for these past 10 months. This is the best place that i could ever be in. And i'm really sorry that i can't stay, though i love to. But i know that i will miss you all.

Though u guys are out of sight, but you all are definitely [double chop-confirm!] not out of mind.

Love you all!!!
