I just had to make a lil tribute to my SMU team, cuz 2 years created some very close working relationships. I pretty much shared a major part of my life with them, including telling them about me getting married, having a baby and graduating and just so much drama in my life...they were there to make it a whole lot easier at the work place.

Steve - My boss, he has only been with SMU for a few months, but he blends in so easily. He is laid back but straight to the point and wants each individual member of the team to better themselves and make their working lives easier. I often go to him for parental guidance, because he is a great dad to Neve. And he shares my enthusiasm for kids shows, and everything in awe to do with kids. He likes to talk overs PDAs over coffee, and gets us out of the office rather than stuck to our desks. He is usually a well groomed new-age guy, but this week he faltered and grew a beard. hehe. I will miss his diplomatic and humourous management style. Although I think he will definitely miss my ability to search for legislation for him hehe.

Roz - My dear colleague who shares many stories of Malaysia with me. I even share a fried rice with salted fish for lunch every now and then. She has got me hooked on that stuff. I respect her so much for being a single mum with a daughter, Kim, because she pours so much love into her girl it rubs off on me. And I hope I can be just as dedicated and have a similiar mother-daughter rship that they have. Roz is shy, humble, honest and always teaches me a thing or too. She cracks me up with stories from her "naughty, youthful" days...and think...hmm...Roz can be cheeky and shy at the same time.

Marie - I have warmed up to Marie these pass couple of months, because we are usually the last ones to pack up after work. She is an amazing woman, talking to her always inspires me to be a better woman. Marie is always willing to share her knowledge of life, and it has made me more aware of what's out there, and I am no longer ignorant in the 'adult' world. She has been through some tough times, but always pulls out of it with her positive outlook on life and it rubs off on others. She is one of those people, who holds up a light in the dark. I have also known Marie to be cheeky as well, as Roz and herself are often caught giggling in the corner. She tells stories so well, makes me crack up with tears. I would like to have a couple of wines with her to get up to mischief hehe.

Peter - Peter is the guy I can talk to easily. He is a sweet, respectful man, who can be shy and also opinionated at the same time. I can go to him for honest advice. He tends to attract women, they find him comfortable to speak with, maybe cuz he is a gentle natured man. Then again, he can stand his ground when "pushed". I am glad he is now with the SMU team, after a few months of being "shoved" by the department to various sections. He has owned his spot in Compliance and as a 4 for his hard work and tolerance. He is a geek, but that is why we get along! He is a funny guy and always tends to make the team laugh.

Dale - I see Dale kinda like a brother, he can sometimes get on your nerves when we don't see eye to eye. But I could not do without his jokes and making me laugh. If not for him our section would be quiet and boring. We have been "team prankster" before I went and had the baby. But then when Troy left, there was not many pranks done. I'm happy for Dale that he has finally moved on to the job he loves and that's the field team. He will be good, he can be stern and serious when it is called for, but a larakin most of the time when he is "off duty". We are the youngest in SMU, so we have a mutual understanding of "1980-1990s" humour. Whereas the others don't hehe.

Vivienne - Viv is the new team leader in SMU, only been with us for a few week. She is a powerful women...some how her presence is very reassuring and someone to respect and ask for advice. I have not seen much of the softer Viv yet. But I am sure it will come out when she is settled in. I hope she will be able to cope with the jokers in the team and can have a drink of too, if there is a SMU meeting (that is usually done outside of work).

That's all who's in the team at the moment. Dale and I will be leaving shortly. But hopefully be invited to morning teas and after work drinks :)
