goodbye king

2025-09-19 02:35:32 UTC

im sorry i cant be there to officially say goodbye but anyways congrats on finishing your adventure with tsl:" im very excited to see you serve your country with pride and majulah, thank you for always listening to my yaps and entertaining me, your comments are always the most unhinged especially when you deliver them with the most unbothered expression, i think it will serve you well in the ns, praying that you intimidate everyone when you go into camp. wherever you go after, be it uni or anywhere else, i hope you get where you need to be:") you were truly one of the funnest parts of tsl and im still very grateful that we were the only 2 fools to come to the office on that friday, and thank you again for letting me disturb you even though you were so busy. I hope you continue your toilet guides even after tsl, mayhaps a best toilet ranking across Tekong camp (?) but anyways, best of luck king army is not ready for you

syah!!! have i not written a padlet for you already?! my last son in tsl, i'm glad to see you finally graduating for real this time. you've grown so much in the past year and i'm so proud of how you've blossomed as a writer (and as a humorist! the last few articles i read of yours had really great punches of humour - i guess it runs in the family haha).

have lots of fun in NS. i'm very sure you'll do well and make lots of friends. and then all the best in school or wherever you might end up next! i'll always be rooting for you and if you ever need career/school advice, i'm just a tele msg away.

<3, rae

p.s. if you come back to tsl please come back as an FT and not an intern so they can pay you properly please.

bye syah

syah, my goodness, it really feels like you've accomplished something monumental! congrats on graduating tsl and moving on to the next stage of life — it was a pleasure chatting with you and being around you. you may be quiet and unassuming, but i think you're really funny and chill to hang out with ! you also say the most out-of-pocket things at times and it's genuinely been some of the most memorable moments we've had at tsl :^)

beyond that, it's so funny that you're such a competitive person, but i personally think that it's a great trait HAHA it's something that reflects your passion and drive for the things you do and it will carry you far when you find things that you focus your energy on.

speaking of... wishing you all the best with NS and everything that comes after! it will be tough in various ways (but hopefully not too tough) and you might find yourself being challenged in new ways and experiencing really tough moments but i hope you make good friends and gain a lot from the experience. you may not love every moment but i hope that you take away something from it, that you learn something, and that you have a fruitful time while you're in! the future holds so many exciting things and i look forward to seeing what you'll do.

don't be a stranger and keep in touch !

ma-syah-llah, king (thanks for being able to understand tall person struggles heh)

see you back in 2 years!

hey syah,

sad that we have to say goodbye once again, but am really glad you decided to come back and join editorial for a second round. it's absolutely been a joy to have you as our teammate. and as a leader you made my job so easy by always being so enthusiastic to volunteer for everything <3

I hope you start giving yourself more credit and gain more confidence through NS. I know the self-deprecating humour could be a coping mechanism to feel less paiseh, but you don't have to be embarrassed at all. you're truly a gem of a person and I admire the way you value your relationships with the people around you. stay that way, it's a quality hard to come by nowadays.

wishing you all the best and pls keep in touch!

love, aditi

:( bye Syah

Can't believe it's time to say goodbye! Just wanted to say a huge thanks for all the help you’ve given during your time here! You were always so ready to volunteer when it came to working on new articles, going on shoots, or helping upload content. I’ve also really enjoyed our chats! You’ve said some of the most unhinged things and somehow made them hilarious every single time. And definitely won’t forget the shoot for the fictional places in SG article - that piece did so well, so thank YOU for volunteering to help! You’ve defo left your mark on TSL hehe all the best for NS! I'm sure it's gonna be an adventure as memorable as your time here.

SYAH MY GOAT

The time to go botak is finally here! Super thankful to have you as my table buddy for the past couple of months and for always making the workplace a fun place (with your off-the-cuff, on-the-edge-of-getting-cancelled, comments), but also lowkey pushing me to do more when you keep asking about my KPI HAHAHA

Wishing you the best in NS (trust, it’s fun) and I hope you enjoy the food there (yay, no more 7-11 lunches), but most importantly, STOP comparing yourself to others! You are doing great as you are and just go through life at your own pace.

Enjoy your short break, keep playing football, and I'm looking forward to your next TSL article in 2 years!

OFF YOU GO TO TEKONG!!!!

Hi Syah!!

You are truly the GOAT of returning interns, and number 1 tanker for shoots, articles, FBAs, you name it...

It's been so fun hearing all your unhinged yet lowkey genius and witty comments, I think we're all in awe of how you seem to say the wildest things so nonchalantly LOL. It's a great trait though, and I'm sure your bunkmates will appreciate it when y'all are out sweating in the jungle.

That being said, can't wait to hear your stories about becoming top recruit in NS, with your drive I'm sure the next 2 years will be a breeze for you.

Keep in touch and may the only blanket parties you have be wholesome sleepovers w ur platoon mates!!!!!!

cyaaaa

ATB for army my king

hi syah,

dont think i've much to say already since we had so many yap sessions on our way back home on the mrt LOL but really, i you've learnt heaps from this year-long (?) internship, we've seen you grown from a shy dude almost too timid to speak up, to one that unintentionally makes us cackle with his unhinged comments.

i'm sure you can make lots of friends too in army as you've done at TSL, just stay true to yourself and don't let others take advantage of your kindness (some people in army are really that shitty). hope you'll find cookhouse food to be an upgrade to your 7-11 lunches and yeah, press on and you'll definitely come out on the other side a stronger person. feel free to ring me up whenever you wanna hang too, always happy to hang out whenever you're not all gassed out from army training 💪

Good luck for NS!

Hi Syah, we've only known each other for three days but I hope all goes well for you in NS! I really enjoyed chatting about novels with you, thanks for the recommendations and keep slaying!
