It is an enormous task to try and put down 3 years worth of life event into a single post.
Well, let's just try anyway.
1. Graduation.
My very own proudest moment. For someone who had screwed up his entire education since secondary to polytechnic, it is indeed an accomplishment. Mind you, i did it without failing a single module. I was told from young to get a university education, i sure didnt give my parent's much hope during my teenage days, but im glad i pulled through, glad i had made them proud.
I couldnt have manage without all the kind help (and distraction!) from the people i met in uni.
Sure, we'd all slip away from each others life, but I do cherish the time we spend in Hanis studying till the wee hours. I never had the chance to thank them properly, maybe someday I can have the chance to let them know.
Jean, Benny, William, James, Michelle, Jelli, Mark and Ewan.
2. Citibank.
First full-time job. It was a short 1 year stint. I never really left a mark there, perhaps, I never really wanted to. It was a stepping stone towards my dream, I know that right from the start. Get my degree and get to where I want to be. Nevertheless, I meet some great people there and they have all embrace me into the IBC family.
Melissa, Angie, Sam and Amanda.
3. Gap Year.
I took off. Went away. I was happy for most of the year, I certainly had the most new experience this year. The adventure was incredible. I could write in great length about the whole trip, but it will take forever.
South Africa, United States, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Australia, Nepal and India.
Wu You, Jacqueline, Song, Phet (wall st. slipper), tanya and ida.
4. OCBC Securities.
Watching my dreams fall into places. When you set your mind to it, the whole universe will conspire to help you. The gap year and being a broker was what I always wanted, always. The sense of accomplishment was unreal, I was elated. The job didn't turn out to be as good as I thought it would be, but I chose it, I will live with my own decision. I learn so much here, it is almost as if this is what finance is all about. I live and breathe the market. I will probably blog about it in greater detail (i hope), because our bond will finish next year and I can reassess myself better.
This is a really watered down version of the past 3 years, but these are the macro picture. I have to start getting excited about what lies ahead.
It's been a long road, but I'm here now.
