Dato' Tan Chin Nam

As the founder of IGB Corporation, Dato' Tan Chin Nam, in my eyes, is still pretty much a formidable guy despite of his old age.

First impression: A guy who insisted to stand up to give a speech despite of his weak legs (had to carry a typical big-boss tongkat, with a servant in stand-by mode beside him)

Second impression: the attitude of being young is the trademark clearly embodied in this successful entrepreneur when I talked to him. (though occasionally I can't hear his words clearly) Always eager to mingle around with us, yet all the scholars seemed quite unresponsive when he asked us questions. He is even younger than us in that sense!

Third impression: A great master in chess. A determined businessman who has gone through so many many ups and downs. (making me eager to read his memoir which is a free gift by IGB)

By the way, forget to mention the event today in the first place. It was the IGB Scholarship Award Ceremony which brought me right in front of Dato' Tan. Oh ya, get to know a bunch of friends through this scholarship too: My one-night-stand roommate Dick (his name is Dick Way in fact, haha), Monkey girl Lee Ting, the naughty Jessie (always bullied me =.=), the confident KL, and another 14 dear friends. (sorry, I already feel my laziness to list down all their names, hehe)

There're many other things that i can share here, but I wanna take a short nap now, haha. Laid-back bone has struck me down again. See you =)
