Okay, so a work colleague that I particularly remember is my colleague during my time in NUS as a lawyer and his name is Dan Brown. So Dan Brown was an expat working from British Columbia University and together we managed some private equity projects for Google and Facebook. So he sort of just looks like your average Canadian. He had, I remember, brown hair and blue eyes. And he usually wore former clothes because we are in law. But after work, I do sometimes find him wearing more casual clothes like Singaporeans. So think of perhaps khakis and t-shirts. Overall he’s a very capable person. He’s driven. He’s determined. He spent most of his time in Singapore as an expat just on the grind. He did a lot of cases. He argued in front of courts and he participated in many mood competitions. Now I like him because unlike most of my other law students, he’s actually committed to law rather than just thinking about it as something that gets you a job. So in that sense, he’s quite unique even among my other colleagues. And aside from that, he’s just overall a nice person. He totally fits the stereotype of Canadians being nice. Other than that, yeah, he’s just a pretty chill guy all around.
