Ok, so I have had enough with hybridization and thermodynamics, and I am freaking bored, so I just thought I wanted to share with you some of the people who matter to me ... whether family or friends. A pity I did not take enough pictures in JC, or for that matter, in Sec School. Anyway here we go...

With my parents beside my tank at the end of TCC. Where will I be without my parents, who have always stood by me all this while.

Without a doubt, my sister has been the most important person to me. Always there to lend a listening ear, offer advice, and staunch show of support when the going gets tough. I am thankful foreverything she has done for me.

Mrs. Lim is so important to me, for 2 reasons: 1) nurturing my love for economics 2) teaching me to be a better man. I couldn't have achieved thus far without her support and guidance.

My best buddies in the army: Keith, Jason and Zhi Da. And we have become more than buddies whose only link is the army. We have become soul mates to one another, especially with Keith. It's almost amazing how NS brings different people together and create such strong bonds of friendship.

RJ is a special friend in many ways; in JC, he was my personal tutor, together with Ben Loh. Outside of school, he becomes an elder brother to me. Recently, he has brought a calming influence to me. A very special talent to Singapore, and a very special friend.

Ichwan and I have known each other since Sec. 1, and together with Zhongyang, had been my best buddies in RIMB. It was so much fun prancing around in the band room, as well as poking fun at just about every other person who got in our way! Kai Lin, the ever lovable Band senior, who though appears blur at times, is in fact, a mature and encouraging senior and friend. If she had not appeared in my life as a senior, I would have fallen for her. Cos she is unbelievably adorable! I love you! :)

My ORIE brothers @ Cornell, Ian, Dan Tang and JQ. The times rushing assignments at 3am, resorting to "copy n paste" when all seems impossible, bragging about how we are gonna rule the corporate and IB world, about girls, about ... ... ...; there seems nothing that fazes us. ORIE rules, and cheers to our brudderhood. Special mention goes to Dan, who's practically my soul mate, as well as JQ, who is at times a pillar of strength. If Dan brightens my life with his antics, JQ brings a calming influence to me.

My ever dearest "sista" ( i have no idea why it was spelt sista rather than sister, I guess it just sounds more cool!), I shall always remember how Sheryl stayed up with me on 2 Fridays during Spring seml, lending a listening ear, and nothing more. And many times, a listening ear is all you need, especially in times of distress. Sheryl is a very special girl, and she will always have a special place in my heart.

January Babies (L to R) : jq, me, Cindy, Steph, Joanna. Cindy is another amazing friend; lunch/dinner/chill-out with her always last for an eternity, because there just seemed nothing that we cannot talk about; I am always thankful for Steph's expertise in dying my hair, and she did a really good job; I am so happy for Joanna, I really am. Whereas during fall semester, she was helpless at times and stressed out by all the workload, Spring and summer must have been a blissful moment in her life, because she has found true love, and a really good one too (GQ, nice job! ). Even though we tease each other incessantly, our friendship goes beyond the skin-deep interactions; she has shared so much of her life with me, and through those "crying" sessions outside her room @ HILC, I have learned many things from her.
Erm, of course she is ever so important to me. My livelihood and career depends on her! LoL! Kudos to her for bringing Temasek Holdings to the current international status it enjoys as a mult-dimensional investment company. I feel really proud to be able to serve at TH.
