Thank you and see you again!

Today is the last day of me working in MRT Corp, after a tenure of 8 years. Words escape me, so I expressed in this poem, one which I read during my farewell luncheon.

___________________________________________________________________

Sorong papan, tarik papan,
buah keranji dalam perahu;
sebelum makan ada ucapan,
sebelum pergi, saya nak bagitahu

Kalau ada sumur di ladang,
boleh saya tumpang mandi;
Kelam kabur mata memandang,
Berat rasanya di dalam hati.

Pisang emas dibawa berlayar,
masak sebiji di atas peti;
Ramai bertanya, terkejar-terkejar,
Faris oi Faris awat nak berhenti

Pulau Pandan jauh ke tengah,
Gunung Daik bercabang tiga;
Gaji padan, bos pon ramah,
Tapi aik! berhenti juga?

Buah cempedak di luar pagar,
Ambil galah tolong jolokkan;
Sudah tergerak untuk sambung belajar,
Terpaksa MRT saya tinggal kan

Tuai padi antara masak,
Besok jangan layu layuan;
Setakat ini saya berborak,
Jumpa lagi di lain laluan

Ein zwei drei, vier bis zehn,
Vielen dank und Aufwiedersehen

A point diverged in a route,
And I, I took the one ATP set 🤣🤣

    A friend suggested that I join a professional course, which seems like a very good one, but requires a substantial amount of payment. Even if it didn’t cost anything, there’s still the time needed to be invested. So any way you see it, there’s always a cost to learn anything. I know I wrote previously…

    Some people say it is rude or a bit intrusive to ask what a person does for a living. One reason I agree with is when the question then leads to asking how much that person earns, which I agree is private to him/her. Unless you are very close, question about salary seems sensitive. But…

    If you read Games of Thrones, or the Song of Ice and Fire to be exact, a common phrase is Winter is Coming, and the north is always depicted as somewhere cold and desolate. Even the undead/zombies are from the north. In some ways the north of England, which is Scotland, is cold (as a…

    I’m always fascinated by how people minds’ work, and one of it is how some people can work with their workspace cluttered. I find it distracting and it seems to occupy my mental load, when I see a lot of things within my vicinity. Maybe I have a form of OCD and needs to be…
