Today I said goodbye (well, sort of) to the Business Controls team whom I have worked closely with in the past 2 years in my previous role. If you didn’t know, I’ve changed roles effective August 1, but as part of the transition, we did a visit today for my last meeting with them (and have officially handed them over to Bryan).

Bryan, myself, Burt and Ryan

It has been a great two years and 4 months for me working with these folks (missing Wenjon who has moved on a few months earlier). To me, it was a good working experience with them, and we’ve gone through some challenging moments as well. I’m grateful to have been given the chance to work together and as I leave, I hope the feeling was mutual (like they’re not actually celebrating that I’m finally moving on haha).

Time just flies, huh? I can still clearly remember that dinner we had when I just joined the team and my predecessor sort of had the same farewell dinner. I didn’t know anything about the work I will be doing that time, and it’s probably the same “lost” feeling our new hire is going through right now. Haha. I will still try to help him out, but only for one more month!

We had our ceremonnial last dinner at Soban K-Grill in Eastwood as my way of thanks and also to welcome Bryan to the team. I guess I’ll be seeing them around as friends – no more work follow-ups and emails from me, hopefully! 🙂
