I was just remember to write about this - last 31st December 2008 is the last date for my (ex) colleague, and also a good teacher - Woon Choo Kien to be in UMobile. He is among my best good teachers that never fails to assist and show me the rope from since the first day I joined the company as network engineer.

He is among the best "sifu" I had that never fails to assist me and the team no matter how "tedious" the job may seemed (as in my point of view) - hardworking, never complaint and always get things done on time. And he is ... young - young but very knowledgable. 

So I decided to throw him a farewell party as token of appreciation.

"What are you going to do tonight on the new year eve?" I received that question like thousand times a day - from friends, colleagues and families. My answer will always remain the same " Nothing. I don't do celebration. I'll just try to get home early so I won't get caught in traffic".

For me, it's just a date that repeat itself after 365 days (or 365 and a quarter times the earth spins). Plus, crowds and louds is just not for me. I just always get home, do routine and that's it. That's what I do for every year - except for this year.

26 November 2008 (Wednesday) - It was team building day for 2nd group - my group. That means its time for me to forget the office and (supposed to) enjoy the day at the eagle ranch, Port Dickson. Yeah, I know, that is very far away (from KL) considering that we are going to have this activity for just one day. But what I don't know is that today is the day where I got drifted to (almost) another island for the first time of my life.

Last friday is the last day Jo would be in Umobile as a staff. He's moving (perhaps) towards a better opportunity. Good luck dude.

Looking back after a year and a half me and my uncomfortable10 members graduated from UPM at May 2007, our achievement should be considered "acceptably impressive". I mean, the job we secured, and the portfolios we hold (plus the salary in which many wouldn't believe we fresh graduate manage to obtained. One of us already reached five figures on the playslip. I would not want to talk more about this) is far beyond what most typical graduate obtained during their first year in industry 

Here's the list of what we have been so far.... at the dawn of 2008.
