Jen Pink's Farewell

Jen Pink and Elia

Parting is such sweet sorrow....

Yesterday was Jen Pink's last day with Citi Malaysia...In her almost 5 years of service, she handled equity and derivatives.... Though only 6 months in Citi, I have gotten to know Jen Pink and enjoyed her company. There were quite some good times all of us had in 2010...

I remember Jen Pink during Citi's Treasure Hunt (with our boss and Country Legal Counsel - Lee Chee Ming and our colleague, Stantley James Tan- Head of Markets, Treasury) in July 2010, exasperated when we did not win anything despite our confidence we came in top 10 (we discovered thereafter that our results went missing) ...

I remember Jen Pink when both of us made the theme flag for our team, aptly named "Legally Treasured" for the treasure hunt... (which we won nothing out off too...Sanjeev (CEO) liked it though...)

I remember Jen Pink during Citi's Global Community Day in October 2010, planting tree saplings with Elia and I in our bid to help Mother Earth...

I remember Jen Pink scolding the Relationship Managers over the phone....

I remember Jen Pink saving "sun credits"...

Only a mere 2 months have gone by since we learned of her departure to Citi Singapore...the day came too quickly...

We had her farewell lunch at Benkay Japanese Restaurant, Nikko Hotel.... Before we left, I twisted her into giving a parting speech and the coy "Thank you for the wonder lunch...bla bla bla" routine was given... and back at the office...things became more relaxed .... spending just that little bit more time with our fellow comrade...as a matter of fact.... we had a rather long coffee break with JP just today...

Citi Malaysia's Legal Team- Yvonne, Mew San, me, Pui San,
Jen Pink (now Citi Singapore) , Elia, Chee Ming

Our team of Legal Counsels is now one less....
It has been too short of a time to have known a fun colleague, only to know that her days were numbered at Citi Malaysia. I hope Citi Singapore's Private Banking will treat her well.

Farewell Jen Pink... All the best in the undertakings on which you are about to engage.

God speed!
