Happy New Year 2006! Wishing all a great year ahead!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my wonderful students, friends, travel mates, KTV & supper kakis, fellow bloggers a happy new year and a wonderful 2006 ahead. This year has been especially wonderful for me and my wife as we met a bunch of crazy and wonderful students turned friends and we are enjoying every single minute of your companionship.

This year has been a busy year for lecturing - from Hemsdale to TMIS to AEC. From wacky Magdalene, super-blur Eliz, cool Chris, steady Stephanie, shingo Jaslyn, man-utd Melvin, Uncle James, Da jie - Shereen, sleepy Kim Ting, frantic Francesca, cheeky Sherwin, handsome Thomas, easy-going Eileen, jovia Joanne (ECU) & Joanne (TMIS), true supporter Reginia to wonderful people like David, Vincent, Kok Siong, Spencer, Rajiv, Cynthia, Siti, Grace, Mei Yen, Jennifer (Safe 2 Travel / SQ), Siew Keng, Anna, Gaurav, Dion, and Charlene to my great marketing team of JCU - little monster Cecilia, jedi Vincent, chartered marketer Sean, f&b Jonathan, confusing Kelvin, discovery Wymen, sweetie Andrea, loser Chelsea Usman, wonderful Letticia, SQ Marilyn and cold but nice Ru Yi to my Hemsdale class of man killer Karen, talking cock Ajeet, kissy Kris, pretty Helen, calm Clement, lovely Shing Qing, raffles Karan, devil Devi and all those not mentioned (not forgotten) here - all of you have bring me much joys and pride!

From research class to international tourism to business development to marketing, from Turi beach resort to Tri-college marketing competition to upcoming Summerset resort / National Business Plan competition, from Party world to K box, from Jalan Kayu to Newton Circles, from Stephy's barbercue to my christmas and birthday bash to Melvin's place for overnight mahjong - we have build a bond between us which I hope will last for a long long time to come especially those from Edith Cowan University - our alumni will only grow stronger with all of you onboard!

To my six new students (TMIS) joining in Jan 2006 - get ready for some crazy moments and hopefully fun learning with me. Once again, I have said this often but never enough - thank you all for your support over the last twelve months and I look forward to sharing knowledge and having more fun with all of you.
