终于

终于，她离开了！

今天的她， 好像“天王巨星”， 到处办“握手会”，又有免费午餐，又有礼物收，简直抢尽了刘德华的风光。也比参加大选的政治人物出位！

但她至少留到8点，因为我们4点有一个会议，6点左右才结束。走出客户的办公室，发现天好黑！ 而这种天气，又碰到放工时间，的士好难等！

终于不须吐血了！！！

这是“完美的一天”！！！

Farewell, Miss Keng

Miss Keng will be leaving this Friday.

My boss told me on Monday that they intend to release her earlier. Oh well..... I am going to miss her to a certain extent :)

The new girl who's replacing Miss Keng happened to be an intern who's now with my company, and was in the same team as me in our previous year's Christmas Party :) Phew... at least someone who's able to work hard and take on additional workload without loads of grumbles...

I bought her farewell lunch at Checkers yesterday. She's never been there, and during the lunch, she told me lots of things. I was dumbfounded when she asked me if her work is really of bad quality. Well, I don't want to have an argument with her in the restaurant, so I just kept quiet and tried to steer away from that topic.

She's still unhappy over her dismissal, and she's taking it quite negatively. She pointed to my boss, who's out there to corner her and give her the answer she expects to hear. And she attributed her dismissal solely to my manager, whom she bears the grudges against.

Whatever it is, I just hope that Miss Keng straightens her thoughts, and in the event if she's still going to remain in this industry, to work hard and work SMART ; )

Hmm...

I went to the library this afternoon with my nieces. There were not many good books, and the books were reshuffled again!! Only managed to borrow 3 guide books on Japan - 1 on Hokkaido & 2 on Tokyo as I need to do some reading before embarking on my tour in July :)

I managed to borrow Totto-chan: the girl at the window a couple of weeks ago. I was really inspired by Tomoe Gakuen's education system. If only such system exist in Singapore...

Tomoe Gakuen has railroad cars for classrooms, and the headmaster Sosaku Kobayashi is a firm believer in freedom of express & activity. Hence, he allowed his students to be indulged in the activity they had the most interest in, and introduced eurhythmics to his students. The students go for walks to the nearest temples occasionally, and they had farming lessons too!! How interesting!!! :) This is really an ideal school for me!! hahaha

I liked this sentence by the headmaster, Sosaku Kobayashi.

"Having eyes, but not seein beauty; having ears, but not hearing music; having minds, but not perceiving truth; having hearts that are never moved and therefore never set on fire. These are the things to fear..."

I thought this is the most beautiful sentence in the book :)
