Time to Reflect
It has been an interesting process and I have learnt much about
myself and some of the people here in sgforums. A new moderator
will be appointed soon in AA and with that, open a new chapter in
the history of sgforums. When the flaming started a few months ago
I created Tan Ah Teck to voice my displease. I decided to play
the role of a clown and inevitably appear as a nutcase for some.
Frankly I dont care and I never regret doing so until yesterday
when I snapped. It came as a shock to me too for this was never
part of my plan.
I love sgforums, sorry to mentioned you FireIce, but you knows why
I love this forum so much. It was an ideal place for me to start
afresh and Ive put in much effort here. It really saddens me to
see one of the main sub-forums going down the drain as results of
the actions of a few people.
However with the coming of the new moderator, I no longer serve any
useful purpose here. It is actually quite easy to play the clown
thanks to this
, just add it to the end of a
sentence. 
But before I leave I wish to address a few persons, so please bear
with me.
1) Vk, thanks for the pm exchange. I am surprise we do share some
things in common after all. Sorry I will not be having coffee with
you as Tan Ah Teck? But maybe as my original nick? We shall
see.
2) D and Q. I am not going to ask you guys to move on because it is
easier said than done. Just like anger management, I thought I had
graduated; well apparently I am still at Primary 1. Ladi is right,
take a deep breath, hold your tongue and thoughts for 10 minutes. I
dont think you two will ever be friends. So lets keep it this
way. We each have our life to live. And Q, if you need a counselor
feel free to pm me, I know a very good social worker from Fei
Yue.
3) Neko Rin and rainee, all the best to you two. Getting married
soon?
4) To Ladi and Space1999, thanks for posting in this thread in
order to irritate me. I am not trying to be sarcastic but Ive
learnt so much about myself from the two of you. Space good luck in
your business, hope it prospers and Ladi, vk ask me to apologize to
you but I refused, you know why? Maybe you are not interested to
know and you dont give a damn but I still have to tell you,
personal attack is acceptable but involving family members is
not.
You guys might think me as a hypocrite or a coward but it is
absolutely fine with me. You see it is very difficult to control
what other thinks and we are talking about an online forum here.
But to be fair Ladi, I do regret calling you a bitch not because I
am afraid that you might report me to the police. In fact you dont
have a case against me. The reason is I have not met you in-person
and it is really unfair to judge a persons character online. Who
know you may be a nice person in real life. Besides, I know you
will not be interested to meet a low-lifer like me anyway. Well God
bless both of you.
5) And lastly to all the good people out there, God bless all of
you! You are not insignificant; you are part of the sgforums
family. And of course God bless sgforums too.
So can the new moderator of AA kindly lock this thread? I dont
want this to be another senseless battleground. Maybe Jason can
help if he happens to be here tonight. With this, I end my stay as
Tan Ah Teck. Borrowing Andrew's line, Tan Ah Teck doesn't
exist.
My name is Tan Ah Teck and I am an honest man. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am surprise to receive quite a few pms regarding my identify and
2-3 calling me a coward for kow towing to Space, Ladi, etc. Very
interesting.
Let me briefly reply them,
1) Without the acknowledge from its original creator, Tan Ah Teck
is just a few letters on the screen. Thanks for showing an interest
in me, but lets keep it this way. 
2) As far as I am concerned, there are not permanent enemies and we
are talking about an online forum here. Look at Japan and US. But
the main reason is I snapped. When you find that you are unable to
control your emotions, it is time to back down. Besides, we have
fun right Space? As for my position it has never been changed, my
only concern is sgforums.
Who knows, I might be back one day? Oh, another thing, dont
believe in everything youve read. Thats what so interesting about
this forum. 
Take care and God bless.
(binarynwitz, God bless you too.)
