New old colleague


A new colleague who's an old colleague, WL, joined the company today. Haha ...

The gang initiated her in a couple of "stunning" ways (of coz pre-planned on Tue to perfection!) ... hehe ... she's quite literally stunned! First, we got her into the conference room to present her portfolio to the gang. Then, one by one, they left the room, till only LG and me who were her old colleagues left in the room. WL was quite perplexed but continued her presentation cuz despite having worked together previously, we didn't see everything that she was capable of.

Then, the gang reappeared with a cake and a birthday song!! Haha ... WL has to tell everyone that it's not her birthday and we looked at LG accusingly cuz he had 'told' us it was her birthday. So WL played along for a while ... cut the cake ... thanked us again and reminded us it wasn't her birthday.

The presentation continued and when it's over, WL got a second (or is it thir? :) round of shock. Her desk was covered in Post-It notes and a beautifully-packed bag of stationery (that all newcomers would receive from HR) which she thought was from us ... hehe ... hailing from her ex-company (mine too!) it's no wonder she thought that way! There's a card attached which said "We know it's not your birthday but we love having you here anyway."

Awwwwww ... she knew it's a prank ... but ain't we sweet? \(^_^)/
