Farewell to HP

I have tendered my resignation today. Unlike the pretty drama situation i faced in Comfortdelgro when i resigned, my HP boss was actually quite cool about it. He could still talk cok and joked with me during the smoking break.

I have never regretted my move to HP made almost 2 yrs ago. If I havent moved, I would have stayed stagnant and rot in the previous company. Contrary to many beliefs that Hp is a very relaxing company, my days in HP are often very hectic and stressful. Some snrs told me its due to the department i am in, while others told me that i have been given a very tedious project. Whatever the reason, I am glad i have brought along with me valuable skillsets, exposures and experiences which are well recognised by my upcoming employer.

The only sad thing is that the pay is miserable in HP. My next employer is paying me so much more, wooohooooo.......

Farewell HP.. i will never forget that i have such wonderful colleagues ( i can even regard them as friends!) and a very chinchye-lao-ah-beng manager tt gives me absolute freedom at work.

The Ten Brothers

I do not watch TV a lot, and probably visit the cinema at most thrice per year. The very few TV serials (I only watch HK serial drama) include War & Beauty and Virtues of Harmony.

Usually, I watch the movies and tv without much feelings attached. To me, they are just acting, and I am just watching a show. Everything is unreal. However unlike most typical HK serials, the ending of Ten Brothers is a sad one (although the director did try to make the ending as happy as possible). After finish watching this drama serial, I did have this sadness lingering in me which i brought along in my sleeps.

In this story, a couple took painstaking efforts to bring up their 10 kids, and each of them has a special power. Overcoming multiple obstacles in their life, they finally get to settle down and reunite as a complete happy family. The strong bonds amongst the brothers and their parents are evidently protrayed in every espisode of this serial.

The ending of this serial is sucky in the sense that eventually these 10 brothers have to leave their parents. The farewell scenes showing how they express their gratitude for their parents are both sad and touching (i think my mum teared).

If you are looking for an entertaining yet no-nonsense (in fact full of moral teachings) drama serial, go for it. But if you cannot take sad endings, i suggest you give this drama a miss, if not you will find yourself wasting time for the first 19 episodes in exchange for a sad ending in the finale.
