840th post

Today is my 5th year in my company... the exact date when I first stepped into this company as a perm staff...

Still remember 5 years ago, we had an "open concept" lab.. that means, there's no segregation of wet and dry area... guess what, I was seated next to the backup freezer and my back was facing the 2 main big freezers.. did I mentioned that my desk was a makeshift table? Small and hidden behind those centrifuges.. haha~

Then I saw the changes in the lab.. as the freezers are giving out too much noise pollution, there's this plan to build an office, to separate the wet and dry area, and to protect our ears from getting damaged. haha~ then I had my window seat.. sometimes when I had nothing betta to do, I'll look out of the window and watched the expressway, pple crossing overhead bridges and the clouds and sky and the rain... nice..

Then our lab expanded.. we had this new lab.. I had to shift over to be in charge of the 2nd lab... this room now I'm sitting in is small.. my desk is small.. everything is small.. worst still, with no windows... I'm not able to see if it's sunny or raining..sadz...

Come to think of it, I have see pple come and go these 5 years.. some lost contact, some still contacting.. some became my good friends and some become my buddies... My friend once told me that friendship wont last long if they are/were your colleagues.. but for my case, i dun think so.. if you think he/she is a friend worth keeping, definitely you can go all out to making an effort to meet, no matter where the person is, and how busy the person is..

I still keep in contact with an ex-colleague who is now staying overseas.. still meeting up frequently for dinners for a few ex-colleagues.. and there's a buddy that I kept meeting him up everynow and then.

thats the summary of my fifth year.
