Lunch meeting with ex-coworkers
Lunch with my ex-coworkers in Tak Heng Sea Food Restaurant,
three of them have left my present company and changed work place in different time,
and now all of them meet and work in the other company,
the world is so small.
Before, 4 of us worked in the same place,
and we never got the chance to Yam Cha,
after they left,
and now I am the only one staying in the present company,
and we treasure our good old time.
Topics have been focused on their work-place,
rather than mine,
the time was a little bit short,
and kind of rush,
but enjoyed the meeting with them!!
