Jenny Kiu Visited Us

Our ex-supervisor Jenny Kiu popped in for a short visit this afternoon (21-6-12). Bringing along were some goodies for her ex-colleagues. Jenny told me that she still cherishes the memories of her years at Premier Hotel. Every time she comes back for holiday, Jenny never fails to drop by to say hello to her old-time friends. Jenny was a hardworking and responsible supervisor. When she moved over to a greener pasture, we all felt a great loss. With her capability, Jenny strives ahead and shines in her new undertakings. Presently she is attached to Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and doing well there. We wish her all the best. We posed for a group photo before Jenny left.
