The world is round...and shrinking by the minute...hope to see you soon Rob !! From Meera

Dear Rob

Its been 3 years since we first met and the memory is still fresh in my mind. I remember waiting anxiously at the reception of the Depot Road office waiting for you and Kwee Yin (we were to have lunch together as a follow-up to our phone conversation). But once we got talking, all that anxiety just vanished. You were so friendly in your approach, that it didnt feel like I was here applying for a role and was being "interviewed" :-). I couldnt wait to hear back from you and when I finally did, I actually jumped up and down a bit in the conference room from where I took the call. People that know me well will tell you that its really uncharacteristic of me to be emoting that way :-), but thats how happy this job offer made me :-).

I have had a great time working with you Rob. Though we got to meet each other only once after that, our weekly conversations gave me the chance to get to know you a little better and you are undoubtedly one of the best managers I have had the opportunity to work with !! I will always look at you as a role model as I take on bigger challenges in the future.

As I now take on the new role of being a mom , I will remember all the chats we had about the joys (and tribulations) of parenthood, raising children etc.

I will miss you Rob...and I wish you the very best as you start a new chapter in your professional life.

I sincerely hope we can keep in touch. We look forward to seeing pictures from your QLD trip and hope you have a great time with your family. We are also waiting to see you in Singapore sometime soon...I know a great place to grab a beer :-)

Cheers and best wishes
Meera
