LeavingYesterday night, I had dinner with my mentor.
Could be considered as a 'farewell' dinner for her leaving the company and celebration for moving on to greener pastures.
I still remembered about 5 years ago when I met her at Takashimaya 4th floor just outside Post Office.
She wore a long brown dress carrying a haversack.
She said she is going back to the ex-company where we first know each other in 1998.
We kept in contact since that day though during the past years after we left the place respectively, she commented she never gets my replies whenever she emails me.
Well, I'm kinda' anti-social.
Since afterthat, everything just falls into place.
She recommends me back to the company and for the following 4-5 years, she never fails to give me words of wisdom.
I still remember her teachings and advice.
I learnt various things from her at work and in life.
I respect her alot.
And she has always supported me through my 2 progressive promotions and a transfer of depts in the company.
I'm grateful to her for what I am now at work.
She has now moved on to a new company, doing a job which requires her to travel alot.
I don't think it will be any difficulties for her to set in as she is a frequent traveller who likes to experience adventures in exotic and 3rd world countries.
I didn't ask her where she is going, what company she is working for and what will she be doing.
I do not wish to pry as I know she will tell me in due time.
I've said my last good bye to her this afternoon when she drops by the office.
I also did her last bag check and see her off the door.
As she said to me, she don't know when we will see each other again due to her travels but I know this time I will reply and send her emails.
