I approached him and with all my sincerity, I gave a firm handshake and said "Thank you for everything, sir"

"I hope you have learned something"

We exchanged wide smiles. As I walked away, I mumbled to myself, "Most definitely."

He is by far the best mentor/boss I have worked with. Well, he isn't really my boss, more like a big boss to me. A patient yet inspiring leader, I will miss working together with him. By just looking and observing on how he communicates and listens, his actions alone have inspired me to whole new level. I really admire his endless energy, quick thinking and patience. It was he, the humble and avid-adventurer Colonel, who made me realised that my work here had a greater purpose which always push me further whenever I'm down and worn-out. His story of conquering Mt. Everest and reaching the south pole with his worn out ankles is still very inspiring to hear.

His favourite phrase to me, "Not scolding you ah, this is a learning process ok."

His guidance had always make me reflect on my own leadership skills. This is why leaders aren't born.

They are groomed.

Thank you again, COL Ang Yau Choon.
