I think I am very lucky to be blessed with such nice and sweet colleagues.
I gained a lot within this brief 8 months. There were a lot of bitter sweet moments including terrible clients, datelines that can never be met... But then come to think of it... those sweet moments spend with colleagues at work made all those bearable and fun. I don't think I will be able to live through the past 8 months so well if its not because of them. They supported me professionally at work and emotionally (for me to COMPLAIN! :P).
Giving me a great farewell was something I did not expect. Come to think of it, all I did on the last day of work/internships was always pick up my bag and bade the colleagues good bye. No farewell dinners, no presents... This came as a surprised indeed.
Two farewells meals, various well wishes, and thoughtful presents... I am indeed lucky to have colleagues likewise... I swear I promise I'll keep in touch! :) The relationships I made in TNS-RI is definitely one of the most precious things I gained in the last 8 months.
