Anyway, here is some background infor of myself (forgive me if I don't know your name or even whether you are in CP0505 or not as I have just taken over from Mr Sankar.
Name: Albert Yong, Graduated from NUS in Chemical Engrg, did Master's in Industrial N Systems in NUS. Favourite pastime is long distance running and my favourite music station is Power 98FM.

To: Mr Sankar
The photos and card that were left on your table were from us (CP0505). It is our way to express our gratitude to you for mentoring us. The photos were taken during the class chalet on 7th March 2007. Wish you all the best in your new job.

Wishing all the best in your future
Dear all,
Thanks for the foto session. I would treasure that forever. It was my pleasure mentoring you all. You are the best batch of students i ever came across. I sincerely appreciate the bond among this group - the way that you showed up your collective strength everytime when someone was in trouble. Each one of you has got an unique and healthy character - someone that is best in academics, someone that has got a tremendous willpower that they can stand tall even after they recover from illness or trouble, someone that believed in me and themselves when things are happening against them, someone that is hyper energetic, someone that has a good heart to serve the community, etc. Hats-off to you all. Treasure your potential.
My kind request... maintain the contact among yourselves and your teachers. This blog provides the right platform to communicate and hence continue this channel - stay connected. You have one more year to graduate - treasure your friends, your teachers and school. Trust me, after one year you would not get this atmosphere again, no matter how much you are willing to pay. Always keep in mind your future ambitions and work towards it. Even after graduating try to upgrade your skills whenever there is an opportunity. Once again wish you all the best for a bright future, "the leaders of tomorrow".
Have faith in yourselves as much as i have in you. The key for a successful life would be, "Live as if your were to die tomorrow, Learn as if you were to live forever...". If there is something that you all can do for me then this is it.... MAKE ME FEEL PROUD MENTORING YOU ALL - DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOUR PARENTS AND THE COMMUNITY PROUD OF YOU.
Bye and Take care.

Good and Bad always go together !
Hi all,
You have been always a good batch and i really enjoyed motivating the group during my stay here in NYP. Now that i am moving forward, to serve at Yokogawa R&D Centre, i have two news to share with u all.
First and the good news is that, Mr.Albert would be your new Mentor. As you all now, although he is a senior he moves well with the students and takes care of them. Moreover he would be teaching one of the third year module.
Second and the bad news is that, i am unable to get the S$4 claim this time. This was partially because we didnt get the approval before the event. I have asked few of the students to pass the venue, once is fixed, to Mr.Allen Liew (as i went to india during the time). Seems like that they forgot. It was really difficult for me to explain the details to the HR and i tried my best. Any ways, kindly check with Mr.Albert and find out how u all can get the last years claim by arranging another event soon.
All the best students. My last day in NYP would be 24th april. Hope to meet u all after the school starts and before i leave.
Take care and bye
