Pre-Retirement Farewell At Simpang Tiga Restaurant

The time has come... my colleague and I are retiring... actually I still have another three weeks to go... or is it two???  Ok, whatever.. or whenever, I still will go in the month of Febuary....and our office held our farewell meal at Simpang Tiga this afternon.   I was looking forward to the meal  and the presents but not towards the Farewell Speech at all.. and I ended up spending an hour to prepare it.. oh my goodness!
And so here we are... at the Simpang Tiga Restaurant.... 
 
Nice set-up.....
 
Both of us are the going-to-be retirees...
With my cute "daughter"....
and my good friend of many years....
Mingling before the VIP arrives.... 
My colleagues....
 and my colleagues.... hahahaa...
soon... we have to be seated... 
and the "movie" starts...
and the moment of "trembles" began..
No, I didn't cry....
Cos I have a few presents in store for me!
hahahahaa...
 
Each of us received three packages....
For our "hard work" done....
hahahhaa..
Just kidding!
Second round of "Retirement" celebration.... ..
A Big Thank you to my office mates!
