Farewell ‘Mr. Bond’

There are many Jap bosses come and go yearly and we do cross path with some really good ones and MANY horrible ones…

Today’s farewell dinner is for a really genuine Mr. NICE man! Though we don’t get to work closely with him but by his actions, gestures, words simply attracted us to notice him. He is the DH of Metal Dept. and man…. he is such a warm and sweet guy. Yes… I am all praises for him as he is one of the most gentlemen I have ever come across with.

I had the opportunity to chat with him during our 60th Anniversary party and he was really nice and REAL. That’s what most people like isn’t it? No one likes a FAKE person right? He was also very polite and appreciative when we invited him for today’s dinner.

He was generally shy but was warmed up after the Lo Hei. I thought it was a great dinner to get to know him even better and he seemed more like a friend than one of the bosses in our office. He treated everyone warmly and even to his driver. His driver & staff had all the praises for him too for being a very considerate, sweet and warm boss to work for. THUMPS UP!

At New Ubin Seafood, we ordered most of their signature dishes like the beef cubes, rice, bee hoon, 3 types of crabs cooked in different ways, special crispy vegetables & our favourite baby squids. The food was simply delicious and everyone had a great time. 

After dinner, I was even more impressed by his personality that he instructed the driver to send all of us home while he takes a bus by himself. We rejected the offer and told the driver to send him home and dropped us at the train station instead. He insisted but we were on a stronger ground… hahahahaahah….
Wishing you Ikeda-san a pleasant trip and all the best to your new assignment!
