Lost and found

Something happened dramatically today!

I tendered once some time in April (but I withdrew the resignation letter). During the last few days of my notice period, I lost my bao bei mechanical pen. It was just right after lunch it's gone no where. I clearly remembered I was still using it before I went to lunch. And this babi manager was sitting beside me.

It was just a mechanical pen but I really searched high and low for it. My neighbour on my right searched our work stations and my neighbour on my left searched the under desk but to no avail. The whole day I got so down and sad cos I had no clue where it could be. Then I was forced to use and get accustom to the mechanical pen supplied by my office.

Today, my last few days with my current firm, I still have some work to clear. As I typist was amending the financial statement, I saw something familiar on this particular typist's seat. I picked it up and I'm pretty sure it's my mechanical pen, although my name tag was removed. Yeah..... I very kiasi, I very scared I'll lose this mechanical pen so I sticked my name on it.

"I think this is my mechanical pen...... "

"Take it lah... I think somebody left it here."

"You know what, I've been looking for it since April. I was very sad that time. I never thought I would have get it back one day."

"Haha.. is it???"

"I've been using it since my primary school u know?? Wah... thank god... I really happy now leh."

"Hahaha... sure or not?? Since primary school?? Wah... you very sentimental eh.. "

Ya... this mechanical pen is really something I cherish because of its "time value". It's been with me for 15 years - the one and only mechanical pen I have since then. It went through my school days from secondary school to college and to university; it's also an essential stationary for my work all these years. The kind of 出生入死 feeling.

Apart from this mechanical pen, this stick eraser is also something I've been keeping for 15 years. Coincidentally, both are Papermate's products.

They are something invaluable and irreplaceable.

The funny and dramatic part of the whole thing is, I lost it when I first tendered last round; I got it back when I tendered second time. Both of which the last few days of my notice period. Aiyah... must be that babi manager took it without my knowledge and misplaced it. Nvm... it's so joyful to have it back to me. Lalalala~
