very hepy besday to a special boss..who is very generous and understanding...unfortunately, due to our rules, we can't celebrate in the office for him...sooooo pityful...however, we gave him a lovely card 'from all of us' as a token of rememberance....
and he replied with a lovely saying;
Thank you very Makcik and PakcikGood morning to all of you, my great friends,
It is such a pleasure and thank you very makcik and pakcik to have your wish. It is you to think of today as my day of remembrance, however, it is a friend likes me to forget or unknown your day of remembrance. Therefore, please always forgive me but don't forget me as a friend.
Today is the day of remembrance for me to retrieve that men grow old, pearls grow yellow, there is no cure for it........ hehe (not hai.........). Hei.... women/ladies......... please remember that the woman who tells her age is either too young to have anything to lose or too old to have anything to take in.
Your wish by a faintest ink is more powerful than the strongest memory. With your wish, the second best time, is today. Please always remember Today is Saturday, so there was Fri end, but, however Friend is still the Friend, don't let it break to meet its end. After receive your greeting and wish I smile a while, after read it, sent email a mile. Hehe.........
Appreciating you all for considering me as one of your great friend. Be your poor great friend, if you thought I am nice, I am not good enough, if you thought I am great, I am not excellent enough, but, however, if you thought I am bad, I am not so dreadful enough; Just always to be a batman (who always ought to punch people). Of course, don't even try to think that you are poor enough, because you always are not rich enough .......... Hehe, with Kancil, I still not poor enough. (Are you going to call “ENOUGH, ENOUGH …...........?” Ai yah yah, ah yoh yoh, as a human being, where got enough, so don't even try to call that.......... hehe)
Over a long journey, you learn about the strength of your horse; over a long time, you learn about the character of your friend. There is no man so friendless but what he/she can find a friend sincere enough to tell him/her disagreeable truths. To attract good wheel of fortune, spin a new coin on an old friend, share an old good time with a new friend and lift up the heart of a true friend by writing your name in this email.
Virtue never lives alone, it always has friends. Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery, by doubling our joys, and dividing our sorrow. However, friend to all is a friend to none. Man whom fights with wife all day get no piece at night, but man whom fights with friends all day get no piece of the life.
Within the monkey and donkey, who will you prefer…………..................
I choose a faithful friend. Without friends is no water, with true friends …..…... even water drunk together is sweet enough.
East or West, true friend is one of the best.
As you wished and wishing you always be a “BOSS” - Your own self is your master; who else could be? With yourself well controlled, you gain a master not easy to find. The BOSS of today in your wish is “Befriend OK SWEET SMILE”.
Thank you very makcik and pakcik for your wish.
Best Regards,
Uncle Lim
