Jackson

It's my third post today. Wonder why I'm in such a blogging mood. But I knew I just had to blog this post.

This post is dedicated to one of the special friends I've made this year in SHINE.

I've made a lot of new friends this year probably because of the various activities I've participated in. From Council and YAH to Chingay and 6R... But I guess one of the more special friends I've made this year is surprisingly not someone I meet very often. In fact, I think we've met less than 10 times. He's JACKSON from SHINE! (:

I guess joining pubs comm in SHINE was one of the best decisions I made this year. Comparing Yitao's SHINE entry to mine and maybe you'd figure why. I don't think that the pubs team is exactly a team of really pro people. Other than SK who has loads of knowledge about advertising, the majority of the team had zero knowledge about advertising before joining SHINE pubs. But what made us special was our character. And one person who really shined (lol) to me was jackson.

Everyone's first impression of him (including mine) would already be a good one. He's outgoing, always smiling and really very friendly. In fact, I always aim to be something like that. Looks like I've got a new role model heh?

But he's a lot more than just that. Especially during recent weeks when I felt a little down, he kept coming up to ask me how i was feeling. I wasn't exactly too keen on telling my problems to him at first because he isn't exactly that close to me. But eventually I told him a little and he gave me lots of good advice.

I guess I can't really say that much about a person whom I've only met 10 times but he's definitely a great friend to have. He always gives me support whenever I need it and I guess one great thing about him is that he always smiles. But the best thing about him is that he really shows his care for his friends. (:

And that's something I should learn.

Thanks Jackson for all that you've done and have fun in NS. With your smile and character, you'd definitely become the most popular guy in pulau tekong (:
