Jane Stories Share Learn Grow
Time flies, here comes to the end of my staying in Singapore. I have learned more than I can ever imagine. The experience is not only challenging but also fun and help me to grow tremendously. However, it would not be such meaningful memories without these people along the way. I would like to say ‘Thank You‘ for their help and support throughout this year.
First and foremost, I would like to thank P’Fuu and Jimmy. Two PwC leaders who gave me this opportunity to grow.
P’Fuu – Thank you so much for everything. You not only gave me the opportunity but also supported me through the course of my staying here. Though you are super, super busy, you always found the time to listen to my problems and gave me practical advice both in personal and professional life. I don’t know how many times I think I am the luckiest person to have you as my boss and mentor. I want to grow up and be a great leader like you. Let me know if you are thinking of adopting a child (I’m kidding ka).
Jimmy – Thank you for taking care of me as your employee for a year. I have learned a lot from you both as Technology consultant and CJB member. Even we didn’t have a lot of coaching sessions together, but every session I did learn something that can be applied to my career life. Also thanks for sharing tips and ways of thinking about my father’s health condition. It’s very helpful.
PwC Consulting Singapore leadership team
Derek – Thank you for teasing me from day one to my last day. You are the liveliest CEO I have ever met, always in good mood almost all of the day I met you. You made my staying in PwC Singapore fun and challenging (To think about what I should do when you starting teasing me). Please miss me more than a hole in the head.
Alywin – Thank you for always welcoming me and be very kind with me. As CJB advisor, you taught me a lot about consulting practice management and how to be a good leader who pays attention to people on the ground. Thank you for making me feel like I’m home.
Whee Teck – Thank you for showing me an interesting leadership style which is approachable yet respectable. Thanks for a particular brown bag session that helped me rethink about my life and future, yet another Linkedin reviewing session that made my profile able to attract more head hunters. LOL. I’m going to miss your smile a lot.
Irene – The cutiest CFO ever! Thank you for offering good friendship to me. I was shock when I learned that you are our CFO. Thanks for always smiling in the office. It made my day.
The A-team
Ili – My beloved boss, I have to be honest that spending time with you for almost 6 months is not easy. I have love-hate relationship with you throughout the project. Though it is the toughest thing ever happened to me since I started working, but taught me priceless lessons and helped me grow a lot. You always gave honest feedback to me, sometimes it hurts but it is true. Thank you for everything. I can’t thank you enough.
Lourenco – All the past 6 months of cleaning up your mess had taught me a lot, thanks for that. Though I pissed you off quite often but I have to admit that working with you is fun and exciting (because I would never know what is the next mess you will do). You were usually helpful when needed, always provide me a different perspective and style of thinking and living. Thank you for all the support at work and outside work bro!
Vrinda – My little sweet sis, special thanks to you for all the supports and friendship you gave to me. I always feel comfortable and relaxed when you are around. You always had time to listen to my stories and problems. Smartest yet sweetest girl I have ever met. (but please don’t mistaken a slope as a hill and do exercise more.)
