EJ has many mugs. Most of them were gifts. One of the favourite is this cup and saucer, Arthur Wood, made in England.
Almost 14 years ago one afternoon in the office, EJ was pleasantly surprised when three young colleagues presented a gift. It was neither EJ's birthday nor Christmas. They explained that they went shopping and the moment they laid eyes on this cup, they immediately thought of EJ. They simply just had to buy it.
This is precious to EJ and do not use it daily. It is only used whenever EJ thought about the old work place and colleagues.
Here it is filled with cappuccino ready for sipping while reminiscing the various expressions, appreciation, laughter, differences and love shared with colleagues.
Thank you PohLing (Malaysian Business), Nazatul (Malaysia Business) and Anis (Her World) for this lovely set and memories.
EJ, That's lovely cup. My mom love the way when you turn the cup, will see cat's bum.
ReplyDeletePrecious cup for Precious time : )

What a wonderful mug, EJ, and what wonderful co-workers you had, buying you a gift because the sight of it made them think of you.
ReplyDeleteThese are indeed the moments that matter. They made your work more enjoyable, and still make your life more enjoyable. That's great.
