Li no more after the 19th Dec 2006

It's time to say goodbye to Li. Well, not exactly goodbye but no more of her when I turn my head to the right across the office, no more of this tall girl who would stroll to Bratwurst every morning to get her latte with "one sugar" she'd say, and of course no more offers in the middle of a car ride that says: "Curlers, anyone?". Although I won't see her no more in the office, I certainly hope to still see her often when I am out of office and when I am in Indonesia.

It was a great experience having travelled the Mediterranean with her. I am glad she had many "first times" during the trip, such as, first time learning to play chor tai tee (card game called "Big Two") and being very good at it, first time trekking on donkey-dung-filled-path at Santorini, first time learning to fold a peacock with towels, first time going for non-packaged tour holiday, first time that no transport arrangement is made to fetch her at the airport, first time carrying a Charles & Keith bag, first time joining a cruise, and here in the photo taken at a restaurant in Centrepoint Singapore, first time eating beef horfun (she has lived in Singapore for 6 years!)

Would definitely miss having Li around. She is probably the most patient and good-natured lady I have ever known. I have never seen her angry before. That's how she earned her nickname, Angel.

To remember this special ocassion, I shall immortalize her farewell email to us before she left to embrace her tai-tai life. Of course, certain important and private information has been masked for confidentiality and the security of my job.

...the one who'd be missing Li's doo do do... dooo do do... - the sound she makes when she is in a good chirpy mood
