At the end of the day, I got an email from a fellow newcomer who joined a month earlier. And it wrote "Were you the guy who dropped a one dollar coin inside the envelope? May God have mercy on your soul."
May God have mercy on your soul? Now WHO THE POOK IS THIS NOOB who dares talk like that to the
The name of the noob is Mr Sniper.
And in a strange turn of events, he ended up being one of my best friends these years.
Mr Sniper was the guy who brought me down to the staff canteen for a consolation chat, after my breakoff with my first gf. (Joe being the other who lent the listening ear) For that I'm forever grateful.

Mr Sniper is one of those guys I hope to regularly stay in touch with even if I am out of the company. In fact, I'll probably haunt him after I'm dead.

Should you want to hear me sing song, call me on my handphone. Offer is valid until 23 Oct 2007 midnight sharp.
Yes, my singing sucks, but I'm always willing to make a fool out of myself to entertain ya, bro.
Side note: Numbernine was the originator of the nickname "Mr Sniper".

I only remember that in my one and only post about work (since taken down) I had given people pseudonyms based on their NS vocations, and for some reason "engineer" and "commando" didn't stick ...
Oh and happy birthday, sniper!
