The beauty of connecting the dots,

29/07 After (nearly) months of vocal rehearsals and days of Outward Bound School on the offshore island of Pulau Ubin (plus filtration assessments for the rest); 29th July 2010 was the day we were conferred our fruit of labour.

It has been a humbling experience to meet such an inspiring and capable bunch, with such callings and high hopes for life - and even higher hopes for the enterprising world.
For I quote Khairul, "We found out that some of us have started our own public speaking training firms, or published our own e-Books, or started our own tuition agencies. We also found out that there were those amongst us who are gifted in Taekwondo, Volleyball, Canoeing, and Track & Field, among many others. We found out, that during our final interview with Chairman, there are those amongst us who felt that it would be good exposure to be seconded to a Crocodile Farm."

The enterprising spirit has indeed been infectious; and these experiences have definitely cemented and polished my idea of possessing this Tipping point skill.

I would definitely miss hanging out with all of you, even for the rehearsals! A bunch of people I've naturally grown close to in these couple of months, especially through Outward Bound. Being 24/7 around them, all defenses down and outfield setting; not to mention our raft expedition and even tougher expedition of surviving commando mosquitoes.

And not to mention all our after-rehearsal supper/dinner/tea rituals♥

We may have had a small glitch in skipping the entire verse in I'm Yours but we certainly sound the best (out of all rehearsals) on the real day, something to be truly thankful for :)
Vocal rehearsals have certainly paid off!
And of course a big shout out to the musicians and fellow lead singers who have been so encouraging and motivating to the entire team; and to everyone's words of encouragement and congratulations throughout the ceremony ♥♥♥♥

On my part, I was thankful that my speech went on well, all in God's grace.
It may have only been a short and sweet 5 minutes but hope it was infectious in spreading the beauty of each and every congratulations you all deserve :)
It was indeed an honour to speak as a representative for the batch, but an even greater honour to be a part of the family!
Truly a memorable day to celebrate and be thankful for ♥♥♥
