To Good Friends...it's been an honour to know you, Congrats

"I can no other answer make but thanks,
And thanks; and ever thanks oft good turns
Are shuffled off with such uncurrent pay:
But, were my worth as is my conscience firm,
You should find better dealing."
--William Shakespeare {from the play TWELFTH NIGHT Act3 Scene 3}

The words from the master himself...I could not come up with more profound words for you ,my friends at CCF. But I have to say that I am glad to have seen you at The UW Convocation Day today. And more importantly I got the chance to spent time chatting and wishing some of you congrats for officially finishing university!

I am just as nervous myself: before you say anything, yes, I am very aware of the fact this day isn't my day yet...but the thought of it does bring tears to my eyes when I finally get to the day where that piece of paper is in my hand.

The thought couldn't come soon enough and I am next. (Yes, Mike I know, it's convocation! Not my wedding! LOL) But you gotta admit that it makes you feel good inside doesn't it? I feel like I am staring right into the future. And the near future to boot! Those of you who know me well, know that I don't pull punches when I have anything I am asked to do, be it an assignment or exam or any paper work to be done.

But most of all, I would like to Thank You.

Mike M : For being a friend and being a leader who knows just what is required and when to take action.

Gerrome T : Thanks for giving me words of wisdom regarding why dependence on God is important.

Tania S : You're right, jogging just isn't the same without you. Thanks for being the good friend that you are! (Hey I'll stock up on popsicles if I ever get the chance to visit you in the U.S.)

Valarie P: Thanks. For making me laugh...be it the funny display pics or the added Chinese dialogue at the end of every sentence (don't worry, I am gulity of that too.) ^__^

Jackson L and Rebecca : Take care of yourselves...Jackson, if there was anyone who has proven that even the sky isn't the limit...you proved it. (I might end up pretty old by the time I finish...but hey Jackson congrats, you're a legend, and legends don't die...they don't ever give up either.) Keep in touch okay? ^__~

My night was just as good capped off by the CCF grads myself and others going to Gulf's Steakhouse and having a great time, me getting to meet a few new faces and getting to say congrats was great! I promise I'll keep in touch as much as I could. Thanks for giving me a day to remember.

P.S. If I didn't mention you, don't worry...I am sure somewhere down the line, you'll be part of my log somehow.

Until next time,

this is TKO signing off...
