I have finally officially left the bank.
I returned my black berry and surrendered by staff ID card. Andrew was with me till the end.. although it does look to some that Andrew is doing what Charly Ong would be doing, escorting a non citibanker out of the office!! I know Andrew will be deeply hurt to read this.. we all know andrew's dedciation to Citiphone and full support of me.. ... but man, i just have to say this.. he did a Charly Ong on me!!
It was hard saying the goodbyes to all of you yesterday. thanks for the many simple wishes that didnt make it harder for me. I was also told by some staff from CIU that i should not walk around the office to say my goodbyes cos i will make many staff cry. So it was mandated I sit in my office, and staff can come say goodbye if they wish. I did just that.
Felt my heart crumble a little when i was signing out of my email and my computer for the last time. I was surprised. If any of you leave in future and get this same feeling while signing out, please tell me. At least i know I'm not weird!!
Well, I'm still waiting for CP to upload my phillipines pics. Once he has done that i will pass him some pics from my official farewell. They are quite funny. So can you guys put some pressure on him to do his work for me? his excuse is that he has been sick lately.So no time to post my pics.
Next update will be from Java. Flying out on Sep 5th.
On my way up Mt Mayon....crossing a lava rock gully.
On my way up to crater about 7000ft..... 
Over ledge into crater.....too cloudy to see anything.
View on my way down & city is below us. There is a group of korean climbers below me.
Made it down after 14 hrs of continuous climbing !
