Dec 2000 to Oct 2007 :

This period depicts one of the most precious times of my life. During this journey, I grew up from an ignorant post diploma student to a grateful engineer in a team that I am pretty sure, cannot be replicated anywhere else. This stems from the diversity of our nationalities and ages which helped to make the working experience all the more memorable. But a common core attribute arises from the good "mix" and it's something simple called friendship. There is a transparent hierarchical wall between various levels and is especially pronounced from management downwards which I find particularly hard to leave behind. Can you imagine a place where you can actually call your senior managers "bro" and breathe easy that they will not be feeling any disrespect, well...don't have to imagine because I was a part of it. And on the contrary, I believe we had thrived on this easiness and turned serious where push came to shove was necessary so it's really great to have worked in a friendly environment behind a professional facade.

Tomorrow's my reservist (7th High Key Training) so by all rights, it should be my last but then its National Service which we are talking about so who knows right?

This year has a few significant milestones in my life and am sure more will come as a progression of my story.

Thank you all in Seagate Science Park Mechanical Team past and present! It has been GREAT!
