My current intern position will be dissolved on 17 June. The new intern position will begin on 4 July.
Self renewal is an important process. I will graciously step down from office on 17 June, to make way for the new candidate. The new candidate is a qualified one, and will be introduced at a later date officially, for public scrutiny.
I am serving almost for one term in office. I served the people to the best of my abilities, not the other way round. But it is almost time to move on. The PM has agreed to let me retire. (PM is Pricing Manager). But I have been asked to stay for an additional 2-3 weeks to help the new candidate, who is touted to be a capable figure in the next generation. To this, I have agreed and will assist him in office, for a few days more even after he is sworn-in on 4 July.
The 9 days after the end of my official term in office, had been designated as the 'Cooling off' week, and I will be nowhere seen in office. I will not be able to appear in Office Communicator nor Email, nor post any messages on the company's social network. To safeguard myself, I will be overseas. Once that 9 days are over, I can return to office to aid in the handover of official duties.
Although there had been little or no contributions during my term in office, I am still expected to be given the title, "Emeritus Pricing Intern". However, I'm sure the new candidate will press for even more reforms, and listen to the wishes of the people (in the department), and take the position to greater heights.

It is the 2555th Vesak Day!
I took part in the 3-step-1-bow ceremony 4th year in the running, at Kong Meng San Phor Kark See. It is always at this annual event that I felt so connected with the other Buddhists, because we plied the same route around the monastery and underwent the same process for 2 hours. It humbles the ego and purifies the mind.
If you're interested to know why Buddhists go through this activity and what sort of significance it carries, be sure to return to this earlier entry in 2008, when I did my First 3-step-1-bow: Here.

iGallop 5th monthly treat took us to The Fullerton Hotel for a chocolate buffet. Certainly not somewhere that I will head to for any normal reason. The food's undeniably nice, but the sweetness of it kicks in the Law of Diminishing Returns quite rapidly. Thankfully we stayed rather long, to enjoy the ambience and the food slowly, while engaging in some meaningless talk.
