During our small
farewell gathering held yesterday I was asked to provide some pep talk
basically on how I felt during my tenure in UTP. I started off philosophically
with a story about colors and how I painting it for the last 7 years in
Registry. During the first few years I’ve tried so many colors painted to the
white canvas hoping that somehow or another, my superior and colleagues would
appreciate it heartily. And I did just that. I’ve painted it with nice metallic
blue in color. Though sometimes it was not really blue, not even near the color
blue, but being Fadil that have been well received in Registry, my painting was generalized and well accepted.
My tenure in
Registry will end in few days’ time. I will be relocated to a new place with a new environment,
new perspective and definitely new challenges. I need to re-paint and will not
be able to depend on the nice metallic blue color that was well received by my
superior and colleagues in Registry. I need to paint using different sets of
colors now and hoping one of them will be accepted by my new superior and
colleagues. I just need to continue painting and put new effort to the work.
That was my
piece of advice not only to Siti that will leave us for good but also to myself
– which really lack of motivation at this moment of time. I’m hoping God will
bestow his mercy on me, I really need that…
P/s –
To Siti, thanks
for all the nice words. You are good on your own now as you’ve transformed yourself
from ‘white and naïve’ to a wise ol’ lady..
