OVERDUE!
Totally did not realise that it's almost been a month since I last wrote anything. How time flies! Anyway I guess I should start with the long overdue list of people I need to thank. Here it goes!
*warning: possibly extremely lengthy
From BMT:
My buddies back then, especially Weikang, Shawn, Chengwei and Boon Hee. You guys made BMT so much easier! Haven't really been in contact with you guys but hope you guys have been doing well! Catch up sometime!
From ATC :
RSM Warrant Deven - for all that you have done, the care and concern you have shown and for giving me that unbelievable level of trust. It was my honour and pleasure to work under you.
OC Captain Jerry - You're like the teacher. I may not agree with all your ways but you showed me what it takes to be a capable & disciplined person.
CSM Warrant Goh - for being the 'father' to us all and the amazing time and effort you have put in for us and the company. And I will never forget all the meaningful lessons you have said about life and planning.
PS MSG Poh - for being both a superior and a friend. And for introducing me the Meiji place!
LTA (NS) Eugene - especially for the days spent on LST. Your constant reassurance was a great consolation.
Wenhao - for not leaving me all alone and clueless when I took over your role. You are a great upper-study!
Fellow Red Hats (Andy, Kangdi, Wenli & Yih Huat) - for always helping and looking out for me because I'm not as competent as you guys are and for being such wonderful friends! Special thanks to Wenli for sticking with me through everything.
Fellow Admin IC (Lisian) - for lightening my burden and for being a very good friend. Sometimes I think you do much more admin stuff than I do. "xing ku ni le!"
Fellow batchmates (Andy, Ashley, Dennis, Enghao, Junxiang, Kevin, Shijun) - for simply being a great bunch of people!
Alvin - for being a brilliant under-study and definitely a more capable Admin IC. Sorry that you have to work almost alone nowadays.
* Special thanks to Sergeant Nilkanth, Ashley, Dennis, Wenli, Yih Huat and the 5 NS men for making the Richmond trip fruitful and enjoyable.
Others:
Sergeant Donald - for taking good care of me especially during SAF Day 2004.
Sergeant Shirley - for being an absolutely fun and understanding coursemate and part of the Ex. Wallaby 2004 gang.
Sergeant Rachel - (same as above) + especially for taking care of me when I was sick during Ex. Wallaby 2004.
MAJ Mike - for being the first person (other than my relatives & friends) to encourage me in the aspect of song-writing.

That about sums up everything. There's no doubt others that I should thank too but the list of people here plays a more significant role. So if I miss out anyone, I'm sorry ya!
