So I ended my eleven-week corporate stint on Friday and although it's nice knowing that the following Monday morning will be alarm clock-free, there is a part of me that couldn't really bear to leave. Compared to my previous two jobs, this one definitely ranks highest on the happy workplace, friendly colleagues scale. Of course, M company wins in terms of learning experience and S company is where I felt the greatest sense of importance. But overall, I'm happiest here and I can say in one heartbeat that my colleagues are truly sincere and good-natured people. They made me realise that the workplace isn't necessarily always the metaphoric 江湖 full of treacherous bad guys, that I could actually fit in despite my age; I know for sure I will miss working here wherever my career takes me in couple of years' time.

Farewell lunch with the department at a pseudo-atas restuarant;

some other nice people I met in the company,

and fellow NBS colleagues who provided all the entertainment through office emails and lunch gossips.
