There are many more things that I have done in 7664 days but I don't think I can name them all. But all of these have made me who I am today, and I am very proud of it. These small (and big) things have influenced me and made my life fuller and happier, stronger and braver, and definitely wiser; and older!

I just want to thank everyone who had helped, guided, influenced and saved me: My parents Jimmy and Sally, my brother James, my grand uncle Tan Siew Sim, my grandparents, my relatives, my closest friends Aaron, Brendan, Ken, Rhyner and Wellington, my sister Suyuien, my new close friends Suvin, Sevvanthee, Sathia, and Kheng Huat, my teachers and lecturers, my friends generally, and again last but not least my love Shari-Ann, I love you.

I must also extend my gratitude to Lord Buddha, who had been the greatest teacher I have in my life. Without him I will not have gone this far. His words and teachings had saved me from sadness and weaknesses. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!

Simply thank you everyone.
