This was the eighth farewell dinner I had, if i remember right, since the day started working.

The people who leaving are from Grade B to Grade A; from team member to the best

friend in the office.

    People coming and going .....

Some of them will remain in your life; some of them maybe will become a total

stranger to you again.

    Up till the last couple of farewells, I started gradually feeling bit emotional after the laughter

at the dinner.

  I couldn't help thinking:

    If we merely are some numbers in the firm, we can be replaced so easily, the efforts

we devoted to the work, the passion we had for the job, how much are they really worth?

    If we are replaceable to the firm, TO US, should our work/job be replaceable too?

There re other things in our lives cannot be replaced like, health; like, a happy family;

like, being a mummy, etc. When working is taking away all these from you, it should

be replaced by those more important things in life.

  Also, couldn't help wonder:

    - Would that be the last annual dinner we had together?

    - Will this be the last Xmas we spend together?

    I hope all my friends BEST LUCK in the future, whatever you do;

    My words are plain, but my wishes are sincere.
