日记

In the morning, I distributed some color pen and album paper to my team members, asking them to write something down for our boss who is leaving next Friday. This has been a tradition not only in our team but also among our company, to make an album full of everyone's good wishes as well as photos we have taken before to memorize the good times we had together. I hope our boss will get a kick out of it when he got this fine album.
