Thank you, Prof Alan Chong

Meeting up with Prof Alan Chong on friday brought back lots of memories of my undergraduate years in political science.

The young academically-inclined ah beng who seldom missed any of his lessons, but an anomaly where good students should look their part.

The overly-eager student who loves to shoot questions at presentations and think that the world is his oyster and the overly-emotional presenter who can get too serious over a class presentation.

That idealism and the craving for knowledge, where getting lost in that intellectual maze is actually seen as fun and challenging.

Prof Alan Chong, Thanks for the advices on friday. The three words which you peppered in your lectures, 'think about it' will be a mantra that I hold dearly to. And, thanks again for making me feel that the world is my oyster. Idealism should not be overwhelmed by the realities of life. And, I am just too young to be stuck in the rat race.

I am still a dreamer. :)
