I haven't been really writing a decent post because I have to give moral support to CK so that he will be motivated to do FYP.

Sadly, despite my group have presented the project to school, the fact that we will have to present again to Indra after CNY doesn't appeal me at all. Seriously.

However I am glad that FYP benefits me, not just academically, but the mental side of me. I am not trying to do any boot-licking here, but seriously I learnt a lot from my teammates. Too bad for Club Nebo, there is only two word for me to describe it, "Too Challenging".

For my team leader, Ong, he triggered my hidden interests in Financial Planning and Investing. It is because of him, I have vastly expanded my reading resources. Doing projects with him have been great, he is resourceful and smart. Under his influence, I have become more attentive in class and developed a sense of belonging to any works I do. There’s a Chinese saying "近朱者赤，近墨者黑", I seriously think that he is indeed a great role model for me.

For Calvin, the brain to all IT-related works, he has made me reaffirmed the fact that I will not go into hardcore programming in the future. I must thank him for trying his best to force me to learn to speak good, proper English. He also gave me the chance to showcase what my right brain can do. I really thank him for all that he has done.

For Jacob, I am really fortunate to be with him for 3 years. I mean exactly is that we have been working together in most projects for 3 years. However, I guess it is tough to reject somebody whom he knows for 3 years, I can sense that he isn’t that pleased to work with me at times. I am not an easiest person to know, to work with, and to have fun with after all. But anyway, I really thank him for the great company. Having friends to work together as a team, projects do seem a lot easy to handle and enjoyable.

As for myself, I have grown by a fair bit. As compared to the younger me, I have become someone who become more vocal, more decisive and more determined. I also learn to appreciate my good fortune or God's grace. I regretted not been working hard enough and now have to face the cruel reality. Keeping in mind Chewy Chong’s quote, “Screw up your life and learn from it as much as you can”, I will treat each and every milestone in my life as part of my learning journey.

It is never an option to decide how your story begins. However, it is definitely an option to decide your ending.
