10 yrs later, the Important Man appear in my life again...

I ran into my OBS instructor, B.O. He happened to my my NCAP Level 1 theory instructor for the first 3 lessons (total of 10 lessons). His full name rang a bell before we met again, I actually tot he was some Olympics Weight Lifter... I googled his name but got no photo.... alas...

So I went to the course no knowing he was actually my instructor n when I saw him, I am so sure that he is the B.O who changed my life-forever!!!

A little more than 10 years ago, I was selected to attend the OBS 9 Days expedition course. This course was for the potential leaders the school was trying to groom, for their own Leadership training camps... so there were fierce competition on who gets to go 1st and we were the 1st few batches that the school sent. It was great, the team synergy and all, all captains, presidents etc of some clubs/ sports group - myself the DragonBoat team's captain.

When I saw B.O the 2nd time last evening, he smiled widely at me and I knew he recognised me!! I asked if he remembers me.... he said he do.... pondered for a while and say "Soya"... OMG! I am so flattered! He remembers my name! that was like more than 10years ago that we meet again, plus - an OBS instructor meets so many students and he remembers me! OMG! We chatted for a while, he said he actually saw me some years ago at a Dragonboat event representing the SAFSA team!

I am so happy to meet him again after so many years.... i went to dig up the old photos of our OBS expedition!
Here goes....





He wrote something for each of us behind the group photo....
This is his message to me:

For those who know me for ages, you will know now -Just how Bloody happy I am to meet B.O. again!
He truly changed my Life....

Best of all, I was not shy to tell him how he inspired me to persever on during times of adversity.... when all odds seemed to be against me.... I was Determined to Refuse Doubting my own Abilities....

Thank You Mr. B.O!!
