Michelle's Last Day

Yesterday was Michelle's last day. I still remember the day when we all joined FedEx together. It was back in 8/8/05. There we were, the five of us, Michelle, Franco, Cheryl, Sam and myself. I still remember the four of us were waiting in one of the meeting rooms and Michelle was no where to be seen. After Joyce came in to greet us, she started to ask if we've seen Michelle. Seeing that no one has heard of Michelle as it was the first day, Joyce started calling her cell. She was actually in the waiting room next door.

I still remember that Michelle told us that she would not last here for more than a year. Everyday facing tough customers was already a tough task, here we were facing Singapore customers who were known as the toughest market that we face out of the 4 countries that we were serving here in KL. Who would've thought she lasted for almost two years. Another month and it'll be our 2 years anniversary working with FedEx. Cheryl was the first to leave last year and now it was Michelle's turn. She'll be leaving us to become a taukehsoh, a.k.a. lady boss in Hokkien, of her own business. Good for her! She's running a daycare centre for babies. If customers were tough now, it'll be tougher for her in the future. Any parent would know that a baby is the most precious thing in the world. Anything happens to the kid, and you'll be facing a big lawsuit.

Here's wishing Michelle all the best in her business venture. Congratulations!
