Farewell Tuan Haji~

It was his final day as our boss at KL Monorail. And we took him out on a farewell lunch at Chili's MidValley.

Tuan Haji Zulkifli was the Head of Marketing and Business Development. He was the one who interviewed me. He was also the one who made me cut my hair. Argh. Benci time tu. He was a great boss in motivating his staff to achieve company's goal. A person like me needs a person like him to keep me going. Or else I just ends up MC-ing.

Prior to that day, Nura and I went to Garden to pick out a suitable parting gift for Tuan Haji. And we decided to go with the nicely packaged belt, wallet and card holder from Bonia. Since the outlook was so grand, it would be a shame if we balut it using the cheap parkson's wrapping paper. So we just bought a paper bag to go with it.

On that day all 6 of us (yes, there's only 6 person in my department) have a great meal. Extravagant ones I might add. Kompeni yang bayar! I followed Zirot’s tactic of picking out what to eat from the menu based on the price rather than what we originally what to eat or what we can afford. My meal cost about RM49. Can’t remember what it is. It’s something like steak. And it was yummy indeed. On top of that we also have a feast of appetizer and desert like kings & queens!

We, surprisingly had a delightful conversation. For those who are not aware, there have been some tensions in this department whereby the boss and the kuli-cutives are not on the same wavelength. But on that day, we chatted, we laughed and we put our differences behind us for the sake of Tuan Haji.

It was a bitter-sweet day. It was sad to see him go, but on the bright side, his departure meant that we as a department are working together better than ever. I wish Tuan Haji all the best in his future endeavor.

p/s: note to self: haji da takde, nk rambut panjang balek lah!
