Work is officially over!
Friday, August 01, 2008
Today’s my last day of work! I have been looking forward to it since last week. Work had been rather mundane and my late nights just added onto the weariness. I had been lethargic for the past 2 weeks and the much-awaited rest would definitely be most welcomed.
The farewell was rather difficult since I consider my colleagues to be really pleasant people, and they have been very patient and understanding with me. My boss treated me lunch and though I didn’t fancy the pork schnitzel, it had been a good meal with all the good laughter and gossips of a certain ‘someone’ in the office. After work, my colleagues gave me a dessert that was very exquisitely made and wished me luck for my studies. Well, I got to admit, I was pretty touched at that moment. Haha.
I’m going to miss Debbie lots… Lunching had been enjoyable as we visited places recommended by the older colleagues. There were days that we spent a bomb and times when we decided that cheaper food was what we need. Nevertheless, lunchtime had been always been satisfying!
I also miss the food in the CBD area. There’s one particular shop that sells delicious wanton mee (best I’ve ever tasted). It’s a bit pricey ($4) but the food is worth the price! Another restaurant which we often patronised, The Sail, is also a popular choice for lunch. My favourites are the Grilled Chicken in mushroom sauce and the Fish and Chips. The cost of each set meal is reasonable (around $12) with coffee/tea, dessert and free-flow of soup and bread. Man, I’m beginning to sound like a sales promoter. Oh anyway, just gonna say that there’s great food in that district!
