Nan's Farewell Part 2 - 26 June 2008

If you've read Part 1, you'd know that my colleague Nan is leaving the company. So, the department, plus our ex-director of Marketing and ex-head of Special Projects, decided to take her out for a farewell dinner at one of her favourite places - Delicious (yes, that the name of the restaurant and so far, the food lived up to the name!)

The "goodbye girl", Nan..

I must say, all of us in the department are major foodies - we really love our food. We eat a lot and snack quite frequently and when we're not stuffing our faces, we'd be talking about food! Haha..
The foodies anxiously awaiting their food!

Rozmah with her steak & asparagus.. Gulnaz with her Vietnamese Salad.. Indra with his fettucine carbonara..

Jasmin & I decided to share a Caesar Salad with grilled chicken and a 3-Cheese baked marcaroni..

Shamala and her Salmon sandwich.. Nan and her Garoupa whatchamacallit.. not sure what it's called..

Shamini and her Lambshank something or other.. also don't what it's called but sure looks great, no?
Green Chicken Curry set gets the thumbs up from Rafidah!
After all that we shared some desserts..

The gorgeous Banoffee pie.. love it! Tiramisu.. ok la.. and the sinfully good chocolate cake - so good it was, we had to get a second!

Then, Fred got the ball rolling by giving Nan her farewell gift.. Nan posing with Fred's gift, a watch, which Fred had aptly coined a "timely gift" (so clever.. so corny too! Hahaha!)

Me handing the gift from the rest of us - more gift vouchers! Now, you can understand why it was so hard for me to let go!

Instead of getting her a regular ol' card for Nan we decided to get a little booklet to write all good wishes in..

We also signed on Nan's placemat.. One group pix for the road..

Overall it as a good evening.. the food was great, as with the company and the ambience of the restaurant. We were having so much fun that we didn't even notice that it was pouring out there! Thankfully it was a Thurday and the restaurant wasn't packed 'coz we were a riot! And, thankfully none of us got emotional & bawled! Like Fred & I told Nan, we ain't gonna cry' coz we know we'll meet again and we'll probably stay in close contact. So, no goodbyes from us.. just "Catcha later, Nan.."
