It is with sadness in my heart that I am penning these thoughts. It is now an open secret that our beloved uncles, Hoy Peng Chai and Chong Sey Qay, will be leaving us very soon.
Although we have heard this refrain many times before over the past few years, we are very certain that this time around it is going to be for real. I feel that we have done all we can to walk them as far as we could walk them, allowing them to be gainfully employed these past few years, and stretching our Human Resource Department to its limit, in keeping these
uncles for as long as we could. It is time to cut the strings that bind us together as working colleagues.
Sad though this may be, we are assured that the bonds of friendship cannot be broken, unless we choose to. We will always remember both Uncle Peng and Uncle Chong for the rest of our lives. We will always cherish the memories of their friendship, through their laughter, their jokes and their commitment to making our working environment a better place for all to enjoy. They are a part of our family and will always be.
As we look back at all these wonderful memories, we might want to take stock of where our own path is leading to and what legacy we will be leaving behind for our future successors. There are so many positives we can extract from our interaction with both these wonderful uncles over the years we have been so privileged to have worked alongside them. This is the legacy they are leaving behind for us to emulate. We must therefore do justice to their friendships and the lessons they have imparted to us.
As we bid farewell to both Uncle Peng and Uncle Chong, we ought to give consideration to the one VIP friend they will be leaving behind, Uncle Teo. It is going to be a difficult transition for all three but more so for Uncle Teo, as he will have to plod on without the company of his two most closest colleagues. Uncle Teo’s contract goes on for the next few months and this will be a telling period for him. Let us not forget to lend him a hand, a listening ear and an embracing heart, to help him in this transition.
As we move on with life without these almost permanent structures which we have come to expect to see every single day, we will forever cherish these wonderful memories we have with them, and each time we remember them, we will say a prayer for their continued well-being. Let this be our pledge.
Let us come together to give them the sending-off only friends like them deserve. I won’t say it cannot come at a better time because there can never be a good time to leaving your job. But I will say that it is a good time for us as it coincides with our mid-year bonus payout. Perhaps we can be a little extra generous this year than previous years and come together to give them a rousing VIP send off.
Adios! Adieu! And Farewell! To our Friends.
