The Empty Lobby and Winter Babies

Almost half of the population was missing in action. The circular seem to take them by surprised; the notice at the entrance must have not caught their attention. And so, they missed out a lecture about the etiquette of the engineers.

Three main values:
1. Respect others.
2. Make judgement based on evidences and facts.
3. Do things for the good of all and not just for individual interest.

My apology if my summary is not that lengthy. I forgotten to bring forth anything to copy them down. Emmm.... tell me if I have to add a bit of this and that to make it more accurate. Or did I missed out the points?

With the retirement of Grace Ong, we had to source for a new MC. Not everybody is born to speak publicly, even if it is just amongst colleagues and friends. So the HR Planner has to seek for courses to train the next in-line. In the meantime, the ever-ready Puan Hajah Zaliha came to the rescue.

Encik Saberi took the honour of reciting the Rukunegara for the last General Assembly for the year. Maybe we should get the Chairman to recite the Rukunegara during the Annual Dinner. What say you guys?

We have only three Winter Babies left with Lau Ah Tze gone.

Is it going to be hard to say good bye?

After almost four decades of service, she retires to be with the things that are more precious to her heart and it isn't football.

She is actually very tired but her love for BDC has made her stayed a little bit longer, a little bit longer when her heart was half way around the globe. She talked about her leaving almost a decade ago. She talked about taking classes and getting a degree to her name. And she mentioned about not inviting me to her next wedding - her everlasting wedding in three years time. She said she is not going to wear white but red like the colour she is going to dye her hair or was it the colour that she is going to shower herself with. The colour of fire - to keep her feeling sexy. Not yellow on that day.

Her last day was indeed a very sad day for most of us. She was the ever polite Grace who would take you to places where she has gone before - her stories were endless. Her description of things were almost picture perfect. She was not scared to try, to up challenges and to learn a trick or two. She even climbed Mount Murut - yes indeed she did - to conquer her quest of the unknown. That is how I would like to remember her by - undefeated.

So is it hard to say good bye?
Yes. Silence is golden for they don't turn to watery droplets that trashes down like rain.


The best writer in BDC had a change of heart and therefore dear people, be warned that the upcoming articles would be street-smart materials rather than how articles are meant to be written.
