Thoughtful Peppercorns
On Monday, I received a medium bag from my Shah Alam colleague. She passed me a bag and said TG gave it to me. It's heavy and I opened it with a big smile on my face. TG really bought 2 packs of peppercorns for me. It is originality from Sarawak. Every region manager need to attend monthly sales meeting at Shah Alam and half yearly meeting at Taiping. But, I feel very "phai seh" he bought and brought for us all the way from Kuching. It's very thoughtful of him.
We supposed to plan and ask a favour from our colleague here to buy it during their outstation assignment at Kuching end of this month. So now, we do not have to trouble our friend anymore, cos we already have it here. I asked for TG account number, so I can transfer the money for him. He said no need and don't mention about it. All this while, he never buy any souvenir for us when he was in Taiping last time. Thanks TG, really appreciate it.
Both packets are weight 500gm. The white peppercorns is RM27.50 and the black peppercorns is RM19.50. Total RM47, not cheap though. I'll pack into smaller packets so everyone in the dept can have some. Thank you and many many thanks from us.
