Office Christmas Party

earlier today, we celebrated the holiday season in our office. i thought it would be the usual lunch party, but it was a bit different, it was more fun. the food served was not the typical chinese food and pizza. we had (pork) barbecue, spare sibs, chicken, noodles, some dumplings, chorizo, salad. we also had some bottles of champagne.

after the gift giving by neil ($20 gift card from starbucks and au bon pain and almond roca chocolates) and the gift exchange. neil announced that beginning 2007 andy would be a partner of the firm. which was really a great news (it's about time!). andy has been with the firm for at least twenty years and really haven't taken much days off (i should know, i manage the personnel vacation days!). it was really good. then people made their holiday wishes for everyone, which took me by surprise since terry made sure that i give my own speech. it was weird... she introduced me as (once) the baby of the office and started at the age 17 (someone from the background said that i just turned 18!) and is now becoming a nurse (if only she knew...). i really couldn't think of anything to say, but i kinda felt sentimental, knowing that i spent a good six years with that company and i grew up alot from that office.

i guess i would really miss that office... no matter how crazy it could be in there. good memories were made, great friends that i met... great times. oh man, i can't believe i am getting all sentimental over that office!!
