Parents
Parents are the people who raise us up. No matter parents are good or bad, still they are the first person I would like to say thank you. My dad is a great daddy. Thanks for picking me up from home to school, from school to home, or travelling around with his cars for ¼ of my life, and for free. It is a great time to always watch movie with my dad. He never talks while watching movie. He enjoys the whole movie and we share together what we watch. My mum, even though loves to mumble at all time yet she is caring to me. I would say her cooking is the best, but sorry to say don’t keep repeating the same dishes all the time. It will ruin everything. I am glad to be able to have you in my life for enjoying home dishes.
I come across a sentence from Facebook,
When I was a kid, I didn't have a laptop, iPod, Blackberry, PS3, Wifi or iPads. I played outside with friends, bruised my knees, made up stories and played hide and seek. I ate what my mom made. I would think twice before I say "no" to my parents! Life wasn't hard, it was good & I survived. Kids these days are spoiled. Re-post this if you appreciate the way you were raised. I think we were happier kids. :]
Those times are great memory. Indeed I am one of the happier kids in the past. Thanks God for letting me to be born at the right time and to have wonderful parents.
Sisters
I would say if there is no sister, no me. We are having a great gap in our age, but we have many topics common to chat with, except the working one. I still remember when I am sick last year; it is big sis to drive me daily to hospital for radiation therapy. She sacrifices her working time, driving in and out, and never change no matter it is a sunny or rainy day. Worst still, she can apply for no pay leave to ensure I am having the best treatment. Thanks also for making me some sour sop’s ice blend and it is very nice. Thanks also for sponsoring Digi Broadband for me but sorry to say you still need to pay for me every month as promise. Next, my sis Anne that gives a lot to me, more than 15 years I would say. I never have a computer until I am 15 years old. I have three until today. The first one is already donated; the second Toshiba laptops as well as the third Dell laptop I am using now; are fully sponsored by her. Even the full IMRT treatment, is mostly sponsored by her. If there is no her, I don’t think I am in recovery mode now. I would say I owe you a lot.
Best Buddies
In my life, there are three friends that I eventually find out, can share happy and sad moments at all times - Raymond Pee, Kwan Jou and Thomas. I start to know Raymond and Thomas in Form1 while Kwan Jou in Form 4. In fact, three of you including your family members, are not as simple as friends anymore to me, but to appear as part of my family members as well. We usually hang out together, we usually chat together and we usually pay a visit to each other. When I am sad, I am appreciating for having three of you to concern me, and to support me. Even until today, I think I am also one of the VIP in your family. Raymond always be our driver, Kwan Jou always introduce some nice vegetarian food while Thomas often shares his life principal. Besides, siblings of you such as Chen Min, Nini and also Jasper are fine to talk with. Three of them make our lives more interesting and colorful. Having three of you as my friends is one of the greatest gifts from God.
Doctors and Nurses
I show my gratitude to Dr.Lim for always FOC me when I go for a follow up. I still remember the first day I am diagnosed with NPC, he asks me not to worry. I still remember also, the last follow up a week ago, that he asks me not to worry. Perhaps, this is the way to console patients? He always makes a right conclusion and that’s why I always trust him. I would also like to show my gratitude to Dr.Ho for a great planning of radiation treatment to kill those carcinomas. The same with Dr. Lim, he uses to smile always, so he is considered as one of the cute doctor I meet in my life. The radiation team in laboratory is also notable people in my life. They always talk nicely and friendly to me. Finally the nurse in the chemotherapy department, Joyce if I am not mistaken, always smiles and telling jokes. It is not easy for her to smile while facing so many cancer patients daily.
Jafon
Even though you are not the first friend I meet, but you are the longest friend that still keep in touch with me. Do you know, we have known each others for 16 years since Standard One. We are in the same class in primary school, we are in the same school in secondary school, and we are in same university, as well as same college and also same faculty. What a coincidence I would say. Even your house is only 100m away from my house. In these 16 years, you help me a lot. From taking movies, driving me for gathering until solving college issue when I am sick, I still remember all of them. You are one of my best friends that I would like to say thank you.
Bi Shan
You are different from the other friends. Jian Xiang and I love to say you noob, but do you know that sometimes it is happy to be a noob as less stress to be worried. When I am sick last year, you can sacrifice your precious time to me by writing more than thousand words a day to console me. That is one of the amazing things that only you have done it. I still remember the cross stitch that you gift me as the birthday gift. It is full of concentration and caring. Until today, you are still my number one friend list to find to chat with when I am online, because you are available at most of the time. Thanks. The most positive thing in your life is, you always think others before yourself. That makes you special among all of my friends.
Juztin Yinn Sheng
You are too friendly until some people that not really know you are shock when you immediately find them to chat by knowing them not exceeding 1 or 2 days. You are one of my friends that are straight forward, no matter in talking or thinking. It is good to be you for having fewer decisions to be concerned of. Straight forward does not mean stupid, that you always say that yourself and I am totally disagree of. You love to plan a lot of things in future, even like eating MCD, to be discussed 4 months earlier. Meanwhile, we always like to quarrel in a humor way that not everyone can use to; but we are always best friend. Thank you for always driving us to supper, to Sunway and also to cut hair.
Lun
You are another friend that I know in Kajang. If that time I am not going for a hair cutting, possibly I do not know you, as well as my ex-room mate and Yinn Sheng. It is rare to find a stylist that seeks every customer to be friend. I am glad to have you as the stylist as you always manage to satisfy what I need, and always count us for the cheapest price. Even though it is hard to arrive you shop, but you always fetch me to the bus station after a haircut. Today, you manage to be the boss of friends’ barber shop. Besides thanking you, I wish you to be more successful in the future.
Teachers
There are many notable teachers I would like to thank them. One in standard three, three in secondary school, four in Form Six and one in university.
(a) Standard Three: I would like to thank Cikgu Asmah for extra caring for me. I still remember I am use to be her “golden son”. I have an appendix operation on March 12, 1998 and I am always allowed to leave earlier after the school ends. She is one of the Malay teachers that I use to chat with in the office.
(b) In secondary schools: Being the husband of Cikgu Asmah, Cikgu Wahab is one of the notable teachers in my life. He never has a systematic teaching way, but he teaches the best. He is the one that makes me fall in love in Malay subjects, and to have a great essay-writing technique. No matter how much questions we have, he will stay back and settle one by one until it is finish. Next is Pn.Pung that always lends me a lot of English material. She is one of the great teacher that helps my English improves a lot. If she chooses not to give tuition for me, I think my English is still such a failure. Finally should be Pn.Wee, my chemistry tuition teacher. I would dare to say her teaching materials are far way better than Pn.Tan in my school. She really cares her students’ performance and she manages to make sure all of the students in her class get an A for Chemistry. Indeed, she manages to.
(c) Form Six: First I would like to thank Mr.Koay. He is the one that let me feel Biology is an interesting subject rather than hard. I still remember, during the first day in his tuition class, I get 9/50 for the quiz. I still also remember, during the last day in his tuition class, I get 40/50 for the same quiz. He motivates me a lot, and I improve a lot in this subject. Pn.Teoh as my form teacher even though her teaching is not considered as professional, but she really cares and friendly to the students. All of the students are considered her sons and daughters. Pn.Chua being as one of the dedicated teacher is also caring as well. She is good in teaching Chemistry. I still remember she keeps me updating whether my friend can join her tuition class or not. Finally should be Mr.Lau that is also the same as Pn.Teoh. That year, he is first time teaching Form Six. I would say he is a nice teacher, not only helping students, making nice tealeaf eggs for students as well as burning the midnight oil to compile a complete notes and exercises for us. A great thank you I would say for 4 of the teachers here, and this makes a lot of great memories for my Form Six study.
(d) University: The only lecturer that I still respect should be Mr.Shamsul. He is a strict lecturer that makes all the differences. He is strict, but he is kind and friendly to the students at the same time. I still remember his encouragement to me. He praises my presentation, he praises my fairness in giving marks, and he also gives me the chance to handle a big party. All the chances he offers me are gold. I gain a lot of experiences in Public Relation. When I am praised for the success of the party, I thank him for trusting me in handling party as well as giving me a chance to try it.
Course mates and other friends
I would say the relationship among Biochemistry course mates as the best comparing to juniors or seniors. We always hang out and also have gathering together, besides helping each other in sharing notes for academic purposes. I thank Yi Hong for always planning a good gathering and cook nice food for us. I thank Fong Sim for always helping me to sign the attendance when I “ponteng”. I thank Sandra for always sharing some great jokes in her college to us. I thank Sok Kuan for always lending her senior notes. I thank Marie for always driving us for dinner. I thank Su Yi for always sending notes via mail. I thank Kae Yi for riding me back to college through his extra fast and furious motor. I thank Jia Ye for the great planning of Sabah trip. I thank Wan Yee for being the great arrangement in Sabah’s financial stuffs. I thank Grace for helping me for a success oral critique. I thank Michelle for always keeping us update information in academic stuffs. I thank Ivan for creating a great show during the faculty night. I thank Jairusizer for always sharing cold jokes. I thank Hui Woon, Jia Shen, Choon Shiang, Anderson and Ah Liew, for also being nice and friendly always.
For Biko’s Geng, it is my luck for knowing Nicky and Merlinda. Well I do not thank MV for this purpose as it is illogical for me to thank an artiste here. It is nice to have you guys as my friends that we are able to crazy at some times or to spam Facebook. Besides, I would like to thank Cyndee and Sim Chyi for always concerning my current condition, as well as finding me to chat online, even though we do not meet with each others before.
There are still a lot of friends and relatives that I would like to thank, but I do not think I can finish it by writing here. All of you are meaningful in my life and I am glad to have you in my life. In my 22nd birthday, I wish all of you and me to keep staying in “double Hs” – Happy and Healthy!
