8 Dec 2014, when I stepped into my second career, I was nervous like any other undergraduate fresher. I wasn't sure, if things would be same like I had in my first job. I wondered if i could make memories like I always had. I was clueless. Rob, (the only person, I know at that point of time in CME) was outta town and I had then, no familiar faces around me. The office guy handover my keys ID etc and showed around the office and finally my space in the office. My peer is busy with the Monday morning struggles and I am looking through what i can discover for that day. Im glad, Rob send an email, a welcome email, the only thing in my inbox for that day. Over the first week things didn't change much till Rob come back from his holidays next week. The monday i told him, i would like to have the window seat, and there he is, without having an issue, told me, we will shift at the end of day. The day passed and it hit 6 in the evening, Rob came with some screw and tools and to my surprise, started fixing my monitor. I cleared out my mind, Rob, my director, is here fixing my computer and sorting out the cables, to provide me, my comfort place.
I was sure then, there is something in this guy, that I gonna learn and i was looking forward for it. Yes, that was true. Towards early January, the guys who were on holidays returned back and the hiring process was going on its perk. We hired more friends and we build up a beautiful team and we know we are growing. We created MTBs, more fun packed activities, signed up for marathons, celebrated birthdays and started figuring out more reasons for events and parties. We welcomed visitors from other offices, made sure that when they leave, the would have the feeling of coming back and work with us. It was for sure, that we build up an amazing team, with a great professionals who could change the end of the day, to a friend-zoned package.
Everything was beautiful until the end of June, when the management announce us that they are moving the infrastructure team out of Singapore. It was a shock, but it didn't hit out as a big storm. We were strong enough to hold hands and go through the storm. We continued to grow, as a strong team, gained all the good experiences, collaborate as a team, created memories and much more. Time passed, and one by one started leaving out. It was inevitable. We still celebrated the rest of the days with the remaining ones. All we could think is to create beautiful memories within the time we have had together. And we did it. We made it, even when the number is just countable in fingers. Afterall, at the end of everything, we were the best.
29 Jul 2014, the time has hit me here. While wrapping up my stuffs and sending off the goodbye email, one thing my mind was sure, that this is never going to be an end, but a beginning. Beginning to the hopes that good people exists and with them a work place could be a second home.
Having all the beautiful things experienced and bagged in the memory, my CME family would always stays close to my heart and would be there FOREVER! We are complete only when we all are together!
