Giving thanks
Where to start...?
God, thank you for making this wonderful crazy messy world that I live in. And especially for carrying us through the challenges we've faced.
Mum and Dad, thank you for everything you've done for me, and everything else that I forget to mention. Don't even know where to start... Setting me on a good path, encouraging me, kicking my ass... Lots more... Dunno where to start...
Jo, we never see eye to eye, and I still think you're a pain in the ass sometimes, but I love you.
Ah Ma, thank you for everything you did for me. I realize that I will probably never know you any better than I do now. It's funny (and sad) how you only miss what you've lost...
Alwyn... Hey man, you're the brother I never had, and I'll always love you.
Ye Lin, thank you for taking care of me and being a great older sister to me. I'll never forget that one afternoon in school where you solved that math problem and that pissed me off so much that I decided to get good at math...
Yee Chuan and Tien, you guys were rocking roomies! Thanks for all the growing up lessons you taught me. A lot of what I am now is due to your direct influence.
Juli, thanks for some beautiful memories. You'll always be someone who has a very special place in my heart.
Marcia, for baking brownies while the rest of us watched TV. YUM YUM!
Bruce, you're still a dick for being so damn logical and bringing me back down to earth when I start going too crazy :)
Jayles for being the greatest manager a guy could ever ask for!
Shantharam for making me excited about ClearCase
Evan for his entrepreneurial spirit and unflagging enthusiasm for making money
Paul, thanks for all those Starbucks runs in the afternoon! I'll definitely miss that!
Amy, I wouldn't have gotten rid of Crazy Tina without you!
Lance, Grant, Garrison, Dan and the rest of the PU101 crew as well as all my classmates in AOA and AOR, you guys breathed new life into me!
Stacey Gartland, without whose help, I'd find myself without a green card
Hung Chi Ching and Lee Kwong Peng, for showing me how to really love tae kwondo
Jeremy Lim for teaching me how to play killer chess
And to everyone else whose lives have touched mine and left their mark, and whose names I have forgotten to mention, the person I am today is because of you. Thank you!

hey, bro, this is a really touching post! thank YOU for being the tailo *I* never had, :)
You can only lead a cow (or horse) to the river. If the cow decides not to drink but to drown, then there is nothing that the owner can do. But if the cow decides to drink and learns how to swim across the river to greener pastures, then it is the cow that gets the greatest glory.
Anyway, as in cars, handphones and airplanes, the newer models are always better.
