The Super Aunty aka Susan Y aka the office Godmother
Again, just reached home and escaped the heavy rain and lightning. Just took my cough syrup again..'coz wanna make it an early night. Tomorrow will be another late nite at work follow by office dinner. It's Dawn L last day. I have lots of thing to jot down about this girl..but that will be tomorrow. This morning I took a cab to work..You see lah..how to save money like that..I have been limiting myself to take only 2 trips by cab per week. Actually I need to reach office early too as yesterday was Korea holiday. So, there're plenty of things to catch up. Furthermore, ever since the launched of India fund, seems like there are more and more things to monitor and prepare besides the daily operation. Even not many chances to surf the web liao since the time is so packed. OK, back to the title.
Great friend tribute: Susan Y.
She's my supervisor / mentor when I first joined Citibank in 1994. Initially, I thought she dun really like and bother about me...its only later then she start "accepting" me. She got a very "how lian" face and like always want to fight.haha..Because she started from the rank in file thingy and was a senior clerk at that moment, she really take care of all of us at the "bottom". Everytime whenever someone, especially the secretary try to bully us, she will stand up for us. She will quarel with them. She's my lunch partner at that moment. Since I'm new at that moment, she'll introduce all her frens or other colleagues to me. We'll go for badminton session, karaoke, cruise ship, dinner, even drinking session, etc. I can really depends on her and ask for ANY kind of help whenever I need it. Btw, she's older than me by 16 - 17 years. So, when I joined that time, she's already somewhere mid-thirties. She had her first kid at 20 and became a granny at early 40s. Although she look stern and fierce, but deep inside she's actully a very soft hearted women and very sensitive. All the 10plus years in Citi, I have been working with her and we had no problem regarding office work. We can work together happily and respect each other decision. But when come to personal issues, sadly, we argued pretty often. We'll not talk to each other except work related things. Still, we will iron out all the differences quickly and "patch" things up back. haha..now come to think of it..we're so childish. Maybe we're too close that we had high expectation from each other which is why all the cold war happenned. The bottom line is, she really took good care of us and in my heart, she's really holding a triple roles to me..Good supervisor, Great friend and care for me like a mother. She knows always everything about me..She's now a senior Manager in Citibank and always talking about her retirement plans although she's still under 50. Susan, yes, we had disagreement before but we knew those things won't affect our great friendship. Like I said before, you play an important role in my life and I want to ensure you yet again, I'll be there for you and you'll always have my support in evertthing...
