Dear colleagues (and friends),

It is really a difficult decision for me to leave TNS – after all, I have spent 3.5 years here, and have witnessed the growth of the company from 70 people to ~160 people.  TNS is like a family to me, and I feel that I was born here, and grew up here – professionally.  Nevertheless, after all, I think maybe I have grown up to be a teenager now, and its time for me to do something different at the client side now. Nevertheless, I shall never forget my important years here in TNS, and I really enjoy working with every one of you I have worked with, and would like to say thanks to all of you for bearing my weakness, bluntness, and hurried-ness.

I have to say thanks to Wander – you are a kind “father”; “Morning, boys and girls” always come up to my mind even nowadays…

Wade and Thomas – you are great bosses and make our company difference from an ordinary work place!

Choi-I, thanks for being so understanding and considerate at many of the critical moments.  

Thank you very much to Andrew – you are the greatest team leader (at least to me).  You are so kind, sincere, professional and smart…. funny (and surprised us sometimes)… all I can say is… over the past year at Team 6, it was the most enjoyable time to me working for you and I learnt and grow a lot from your guidance. You are the best!    

Thanks Nicole and Ellen – you two have been the most wonderful and trusting mentors, and I feel so lucky that I have the chance to work with you.

IRC (ex- Team 6) team mates – you guys are soooo lovely!  I will not forget the laughs we have at the office ~ the most important thing to me is to enjoy your work and the colleagues around me… You can escape from my “loud” voice from now on… (but I am sure we will meet again! hahahaha) 

Lau Wah – you are my dearest buddy … from we were not working in the same teams (2004), then Team 2 together (late 2004 to 2005), separated (2005?), and them come together again (since late 2006)… I will never forget the late hours we have been working together, the funs we have inside and outside office….  

 Thanks a lot of colleagues I have worked with … Neel is another patient teacher and friend of mine… Christine helps me a lot on my projects… Tom and Andy are great DPs who share many of my burdens…. Monet is always so helpful… May Leung has helped me a lot of MB projects…  Sue, many thanks for being my sister and mom, we will definitely meet on golf course!  There are too many people I want to thank and so please forgive me if you are not mentioned here…

I am already missing you all.

 To my family at TNS, all the best and take care.

Wish you laugh like the kids always!

Here is me and a clean baby sheep…

Hope our paths cross someday soon!
