"Goodbye"
State of Being : Sad :(
It was a somber day in the office as another colleague is leaving us for greener pastures. Our regional office is already so small (total 9 of us) and now it's gonna get even smaller, with the departure of PA and later the relocation of NC...
I had initiated the "Project RED Box" (a Tiffany pouch had already been given to her at a early farewell dinner at PS Cafe), as a final parting gift for PA. Idea was to get everyone to contribute a RED gift that represents himself/herself. In the end, I 'sacrifice' one of my Spiderman toy figurine that was on my office phone (Revisit: Where's Spidey?).
I had only wanted a small box initially but eventually had to get a bigger one as JM's gift was a book! In the end, we resorted to a RED box file from Popular. I cut and pasted a RED foam circumvex on the box cover, filled it with styrofoam balls and RED feathers, and buried all our gifts together with some of our corporate RED gifts underneath it. Viola, a RED treasure box in the end!!

And since we do not have a photo whereby all of us are present (somehow someone just had to be "missing" for some reasons), I had to resort to photoshoppin' SK into one of the photos. To complete the treasure box, I burned a CD filled with beautiful Swissôtel memories for PA to remember us always.
When the time finally come for us to say our goodbyes, coupled with PA's farewell ppt slides that uses Ryan Cabrera's "I Will Remember You" song in the background, the scene was trully an emotional one as PA saw the gifts. (visit junkpads for the pictures).
I just simply hate "goodbyes". I reckon I might actually cry when it's time for me to leave this company, afterall it has been my 'family' for close to 5 years now. Tears were welling in my eyes as I bid PA farewell (for the last time in our office). The office is definitely gonna miss PA on monday, tuesday, wednesday, ...
