Anthony Yeo
by Soo-Inn Tan, 29 Jun 2009
"Singapore's "father of counselling" Anthony Yeo, who had leukemia, died
yesterday from complications. The veteran counsellor and consultant therapist at
the Counselling and Care Centre was 60 years old. He was diagnosed with Burkitt's
lymphoma, a cancer of a type of white blood cell that fights off infection in the
body, after he collapsed at home on the evening of May 9."
(Shull Sudderuddin, "Consellor Anthony Yeo dies aged 60," The Sunday Times, June

(Marianne Szegedy-Maszak, "Happy Days," the Los Angeles Times, April

fiercely independent in their decision making, having a strong will that
insulates them against external influence" and that they "tend to have a
high degree of confidence in their own abilities ..." God in His mercy
showed me I wasn't as smart as I thought I was.

by Soo-Inn Tan, 8 Jun 2009
One of my favourite scenes in Star Wars 6 (Return of the Jedi) is the one
where Luke Skywalker finally bests his heavy breathing dad Darth Vader.
Luke had tried to avoid fighting his dad but when Darth threatened to turn
Luke's sister to the dark side, Luke goes berserk and defeats his dad, cutting
Darth's right hand off in the process. The evil emperor, who has been
observing this duel, makes the following offer:
