Farewell gathering

We decided to have a farewell lunch for Ah Mei who is resigning soon. Yesterday was the best day as it's a Sunday. I decided to close the shop earlier so that we could have a proper farewell gathering. Those staff who were not working on a Sunday also came to join in the fun. It's actually a potluck lunch. 

I sponsored the main ingredients for the fried rice and the rendang chicken.
Mariah cooked the rendang and Saras cooked the fried rice.
Har, Wai, Peng and Mei sponsored the others
but it's Mei's mum who prepared them.

4 of my staff and 2 part-time workers

Lim ordered the pizzas and Seng bought the cake.

Yee helped to put the ice cubes into the cups.

Sparkling Juice on the house.

Filled them up..

and YUMMMM...

SENGGGGG...

Lim entertained us with his dance.

Another group to YUM-SENG as some of them came later.
My staff, Lan and my part-time workers: Seng and the 3 sisters, Leng, Yee and Yan.

The 3 sisters sponsored the curry fish balls cooked by their mum.

Lan prepared the spaghetti and its sauce. 

We couldn't finish them so we tapau them.
Only left the cake for today.

All the best to Ah Mei!
Thank you to all of them for joining in the fun without the Big Boss!

The Big Boss was NOT in!

    Good evening Wenn,

    What a yummy spread to bid Mei farewell. Everyone was so generous to help out and to contribute food to the gathering. I guess everyone helped to clean up too after that.

    How come the Big Boss wasn't in? Was he busy elsewhere?

    Hope you had a good day today, Wenn. Have a good rest tonight. Take care.

    when i was in call center, i used to be the one who trained our new employees... somehow i knew them all because the training used to last for a month... it is so sad to see that some of them will leave but of course, we respect their decision especially if they found a better opportunity outside the company

    this is what i called "leaving gracefully" because everyone accepted her decision to leave wholeheartedly and she didn't burn any bridges too which is good

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
