My short farewell speech :)

Delivered this after having lunch with the whole PISU staff.

Dear PISU,

You’re such a wonderful office with such a wonderful staff. You have taught me so well from doing clerical works up to editing press releases. You have shared me so many things from the corniks and piyaya and mangoes up to all that laughter, laughter and laughter. I wouldn’t forget that.

Unfortunately, my 150 hours is over but believe me, I want to stay even without pay.

I’ll miss doing the round up, using the elevator, transcribing media availabilities, searching latest news and even photocopying documents. But more than that, I would miss the people behind it.

I would definitely miss the silent but deadly smile of Sir Remo which consistently have lightened our days in a snap;

the motherly care but professional approach of Ma’am Fely;

the sweet and unfailing smile of Ma’am Nelfa;

the loud hilarious laugh of Sir Jeff;

the wittiness and friendliness of the future lawyer Ma’am Jheng;

the smiling face of Sir Nilo, together with his one of a kind hirits and pick up lines;

the beautiful Ma’am Merlines and her fashionable outfits everyday plus her all-of-a-sudden craziness;

that soft voice that belongs to the mysterious profile of Atty. Alvin and his surprising humorous side;

and with that who wouldn’t miss the energetic smile and laughter of Ma’am Shaoie plus of course her distinctive voice and encouraging words.

And of course, I would also miss the humble man who owns such a contagious and amazing smile, Asec. Raul, you’re truly the world’s greatest boss.

Thank you PISU for such a wonderful internship experience!
