Dear IPP Toh,

You should have seen how Llyod dressed up in the Rotary Conference. I could not recognize him cause I always see him in his "seluar pendek".That day he really looked dashing with his suit and tie..He has really matured well from the GSE Program.

Llyold,

Let me know when I can invite you to my club for your presentation on GSE.

Cheers!
DRRE Dinesh
