My only regret is the little going away speech that I made yesterday. I'm so mad at myself that I can't sleep. I mean, the question really took me by surprise and I wasn't prepared to relive details of my 3 year stint at the CDC. I had been instead, wanting to say thanks to the people who had guided me along the way.
Mentioning the hotels, the lenient marking, the ABILITY TO DO PROJECTS WELL? Sheesh, I was lucky that a certain DGM didn't shoot me. I was rambling like a raving lunatic.
Why didn't I mention how for example, about the application that my family made to the CDC that left me with so great an impact that I wanted to come and work here. Or that I've learnt more things than I ever expected to, which INCLUDES having a hand at certain projects, or that I have no regrets, absolutely none about working for this place, with this great people. And then, thank my supervisors, my mentor, my colleagues for the wonderful experience which I believe have built me up and made me a more confident and capable person than when I stepped into the place.
Sigh..wouldn't that be a better speech?
I hope I've made my peace, cos I really want to get a good night's sleep. It's a long day tomorrow. Good morning, and sweet dreams...

Hi gals..thanks so much for the words of encouragement. That's what friends are for :)
hey rai, like what they mentioned, you said things that no one would have thought and it was touching. all those that needed to be thanked, knew it in their hearts already. amazing how you've grown into a woman from the first time you stepped in as an intern. i still remember you helping LK and me on the innovation fund launch...
now that you've turned into a woman, no more whining eh? ;)
oh no..whining is a little hard to let go.
