I really love this class and it didn't take me too long to draft this simple list of "thank you's". Ultimately, I hope all of you will give me good marks for peer review. Just kidding. Miss Happy please do not mark me because I know my tone is so informal here.
I thank Guangyi for your enthusiasm in every class, for being so animated whenever you make a comment. It still tickles me when I think about your "deal or no deal segment". Shaobin and oxy for adopting me when I had to split from my research group during one of the class.
Jiawei for your comments for what seems like all of my (and the whole class's) blog posts, Alicia and Szemin for reviewing my groups paper.
Jean for impressing me with the power of hand movements (I do not know if you rehearsed your hand movements but the way they did during the presentation, I swear you looked like you were a seasoned hand model), Darren and Viviane for entertaining Madeline from my group so that I could have fruitful discussions with Mongshi while Madeline goes to your side to gossip.
Joanna for letting me (I still think it’s “us”; I feel Madeline was much more scary) terrorize you during your mock interview (It’s heartwarming to know that cap 4.5s are humans as well), Ruisheng for being Madeline’s eye-candy and distracting her for most part so that like I mentioned, I could make meaningful discussion with Mongshi. Stephy for an impressive resume; you were my choice for the mock interview but the two girls were more interested in how Joanna did her 4.5.
Jinyi for your sarcastic remarks that livens up the class, Timothy for your sexing up the class with your sexy low bass voice, Xinyu for letting me substitute you when we were first choosing our group mates.
Mongshi for helping buy my curry chicken puff whenever I come late for meetings or class, and doing up such a beautiful template for the presentation. Madeline for being the “ah lian” of the class, for being the loud mouth that shoots everyone everything and for being true to yourself and your somewhat skewed values. Thank you both for an otherwise difficult research project. I am glad we managed to agree on most things!
Last but not least, Thank you to Miss Happy Goh for your wonderful guidance over this semester. It was unfortunate you had to take medical leave, I hope all is well with you!
Each and every one of you I can remember unlike my engine module mates, simply because we have crossed path in our own special ways. May all of us find luck in our future endeavors, and may communication be as easy as 1, 2, 3 for all of us. Stay Happy!

I almost died laughing about the Madeline's part!
I also wanna say thanks to Ruisheng for being Madeline's eye candy because Derek and I always have a great time teasing her about it.
Hi Derek,
I’m sure you would continuing lengthening your already longish “thank you list” if you have more time. My mock interview was really scary, you could have frighten away a potential employee (just kidding :D). But thanks to your stringent interviewing, I have gained another valuable experience of how an interview would feel like. This ”horrifying” interview experience will etch into my mind and it would better prepare me for interviews in the future. And I would like to take this opportunity and comment space to thank my whole class and Miss Happy for being such wonderful people!
Hi Derek!
It is really thoughtful of you to thank everyone individually...
I am glad you were entertained by the "deal or no deal" segment. It was almost pulled out of my group's presentation because we thought it was kind of informal...
Well I thought you and Madeline helped spice up our class quite fair bit too! Hee Hee. Not insinuating anything here... but you two are really hilarious... So I don't think sole credit goes to me for entertaining the class. It's a collaborative effort from all of us in the class!
I believe everyone will have some wonderful memories to take home from this ES class. Like I wished Darren, all the best for your job hunt next year! Remember to use what you learnt from Ms Goh :)

Hey Derek,
since you have thanked everyone, I guess I have to thank you also for never failing to bring laughter and entertainment not only to my life, but to many others in our class with your never ending jokes, and for allowing me to post that picture of you =)
Dear Derek and Mongshi,
Never was I distracted by anyone in that way. Derek was constantly eyeing Alicia so much so that he kept forgetting the points we had discussed.
By the way, I did not know about Joanna’s academic result!
Often, I hear people say, “Never offend a woman.”
I think it should be, “Never offend a boy who enjoys showing his underwear.” >>> Derek, especially.
Madeline
