Today is my 1st appreciation lunch with my current company. I kinda look forward for it. It's the very 1st time in my working history that I am being invited for such occassion. Thankful that there is such practice in this company.

I got the invitation via email days ago. It was sent to one of the managers, his assistant, my direct boss and I (we are the additional attendees). My direct boss needs to attend a farewell meal for another co-colleague. I felt so awkward as I am not close to the rest. Thankfully there is another female colleague joining us. She used to sit next to me for a week before she is being "chased" out of the room. So I IM her upon seeing her on the scheduling list. She too, was scared afraid that she will be the only female attending this lunch appointment. What a relief for both of us!

We set for Grand Hyatt at 1145 hrs. Past 12 noon, we stepped into Hyatt. Last time I always walked past this hotel but never dine there except for a wedding banquet years ago. Mmmm.. looks good!. 16 of us, and 2 tables. Beside two of us and the manager and director, others rush to sit at the other table. Well, I could understand.. the pressure of eating with bosses. But to me, my boss and the manager are very soft spoken and understanding people, so I am at ease to dine at the same table and since i don even know the rest... Could tell that other colleagues who would never want to sit with us.. hee hee.. It's fully understood, if I have to sit and dine with my big boss, i think i cant even digest my food.. ;P

There are malay, chinese, indian variety of food. Glad that my female co is also a buffet lover.. she loves good food too. If i never like sitting with females who eat like mouse, I felt bad behaving like an eating monster...

After the meal, how I wish I can head home or shopping... But a hearty meal is good enough too!
