Weekends feel nice, though I have so much work to do for these 4 weekends. But still, I like being busy. I enjoy the ownership of a sense of fulfillment. This research project that Prof. Ahn has got me to help him with excites me and I believe that the experience will be good for my honours thesis. What warms me even more is that he has chosen to ask me in the first place. It is heartening when teachers remember me and recognize my abilities. In fact, I have always considered myself privileged when it comes to having supportive and caring teachers around me. In university, when the interaction between teachers and students are not as close as compared to previous schools, I’m glad to have found mentors that I have grown attached to right here in NUS - Prof Alfred, Mr Yong, Prof Lan, Mr Shen and now, Prof. Ahn. They are people who have supported me not only in school work but in my life as well by spending time talking to me, giving me advice and opportunities. Of course, I never forget people from the good old days – Mrs Choo, Jeffrey Wu, Paul Tan and Joanna Tsang. And Mrs Choo has been calling me so often these 2 months for her focus group research to improve the BFS program. And she has just asked me yesterday if I’m interested to go back and mentor my juniors in finance/investment related areas. Of course, I’ll not reject no matter how busy, because sharing life and experiences is very meaningful for me. I feel especially passionate as well because I myself have received alot from my mentors. And the gratitude I feel for them is eternal.
