Acknowledgement
First of all, I want to thank my family for their support throughout my entire period of existence. There have been much hardships and tough times but we have survived and emerged as better persons. I love you all.
Secondly, I need to thank Nanyang Junior College (and all the great people who were in the club; thanks for the bashing, guys) . If not for her, I may not have come into contact with International Chess.
Thirdly, I have to thank all the people who have given me coaching. Especially Mr. Tony Dempsey. Tony is a most helpful person who sought after perfection in chess. At my request, Tony gave me almost two months worth of free coaching in 1996, when I was preparing for Singapore's National Championship. That may not seem much to some, but that was difficult times he was going through, and he still helped me. I really wanted to kick myself in the butt after the AGM that year because it was only then when I realised you had so much on your mind.Thanks again, Tony.
Next, I thank chess friends from everywhere who are willing to share their chess news with me. They are Mr. Lazslo from Budapest, TWIC, Mr.Gerardo Barbero, and Mr. Tryfon Coasta from Barnet Chess Club.
Then, I have to thank Mr. Tang K.F. If not for his help, I may not have the opportunity to play with World Champion A. Karpov.
Not forgetting all the teachers and friends who have taught me many things. If not for their support, I would not be here what I am.
Next, I give my thanks to Mr. Michael Cheong. This webpage was created with a software designed by him which he gave it to me free.
Then I have to thank Adeline. My, how I miss your delicious broiled potatoes!
To end this list of acknowledgements, I will mention that a person has not long ago entered my life. She is a wonderfu person, always full of joy and laughter. She will not hesitated to rub off her special brand of fun, humour and happiness to anyone around she. We have became close friends but will anything more come out of this friendship? I don't know. She probably will not see this page at all, so she would never know how much I think of her and care for her. I have now redirected my energies in life towards my studies, because I need a firm foundation for a stable future, and only then will I express my thoughts out loud to her. I pray that I will not fail. I must not fail.
