Greetings from Mr, & Mrs. TAN! As we head down hotel lobby to return our gowns, we walked past the cocktail area for another wedding today. Time passed so quickly and our special day is over. Haha. Blessed the couples holding their wedding today. Thank you, our special guests for attending. Appreciate it! Travelling to Europe TOMORROW!!!!! Yeap.
And due to time constraint, Paul Sir is unable to say his thank you speech to all of you. Therefore, i am typing here his first-ever long speech that he had held on since days before the special day 28|December|2013.
*Ahem Ahem*

Thank you all for coming today, to attend the big day of my wife, Karine and me. I am really glad to have the honor to have all of you today, to witness our love.
First and foremost, i would like to thank both side of he parents. 爸爸妈妈, 谢谢你们的养育之恩。 谢谢你们给我一个美好的家。生为幼子的我,已经长大了。 虽然以结婚了, 我还是会好好的孝顺你们的。
岳父岳母,谢谢你们把Karine养的如此的优秀。 相信我,我会好好的照顾你们的女儿的。放心吧 。
Next, i would like to thank my brothers, Nelson and Eric, for all the care that you had showered me, ever since i am young. Being the youngest in the family, i did get bullied quite abit by you guys. But nonetheless, you all took great care of me, and providing me advises along the way of my life. I would really love to say thanks to you guys. Of course, not to forget Lorraine and Irene, my sisters-in-law. Thanks for taking care of my brothers, Ashton, Clara, Karine and myself. Thanks.
Next, I must really thank all my Xiong Di Jie Mei, Jason, Tommy, Kenny, John, Jeff, Weixiang, Alvin, ah Yap, Steffanie, Jacinth, Syaz, Wendy, Shirley, Adeline and Eileena, for all your helps today. Today’s wedding will not be so smooth, without the 15 of you guys’ help, from being the EMCEEs, setting up of the reception area, the crazy gate crashing, as well as the crazy bachelor night and hens night. Thank you all of you.
Next, I really appreciate all my classmates from Bendemeer Secondary, Singapore Poly, and SMUSIS, for being here with me today. Schooldays are crazy, and we had spent many late nights together doing all the programming, networking projects together. I still remember the days in Poly, where all of us gathered at Wenxiong house, at his big big table, to do our projects. I always remember that I end up playing diablo 2, and people playing gunbound or whatsoever. Same thing goes for my uni studies, crazy projects, 5 project mates, with 7-9 laptops set up in the small GSR, as the client and server terminals. And never to forget xiangxuan my best buddy, we played a lot of Dynasty warrior on our PSP and online MMORPG during our project meetings and classes, until the whole project team like kinda of pissed off with us. That’s hell lot of craziness and fun within. I will never forget all of you, and thanks for being here for me.
Next, all my colleagues from the Army. A really really big thank you for all of you here, for being here. In fact, my army friends made up more than half of my own invited personal friends. You are friends whom I know when I was a Platoon 3 Platoon commander in Alpha Company, 38 SCE, when I was an Officer Coach in Officer Training Wing, and then when I am, still currently the OC in MEC/38 SCE. Not to forget, people whom I have known from the Army Student Network, as well as my batch mates from the 61/05 EOCC. All of you, somehow or another, provided me with helps / fun / laughters in my exciting life in the Army. Thank you for being able to be here to participate in this, another major event of my life. And special thanks to Samuel, Yao Kun, Han Siong, Ben, Zhiyang, Yuan Wei, Wee Yang, Andy, Chuan Yu and Boon Kuan, for being my sword bearers for the military wedding ceremony during the first march in. And of course not to forget, my Company Sergeant Major, Fa ge, for being here to help me to rehearse them.
Next, my friends from the Getz Club. It had been really great knowing you guys. Going on road trip to Malacca had always been the memories that I treasured the most. And of course, it is this trip that brought us together as well. Thank you for all your zhng car knowledge that we all shared during the years of zhng-ing cars.
Lastly, I must thank this person, that makes my life complete. Karine 老婆. Thank you for walking into my life. Thank you for all the preparation that you made for our big day. Sorry that I was busy this year. I calculated, I was missing or without proper phone reception for at least 12 weeks this year. Sorry that I have to leave you alone to handle some of the stuff yourself. Thank you for accepting for who I am and doing all these for me. Thank you and, I Love you.
