Jason Phoon
Its been a while since I’ve updated my about page. Instead of writing one myself, I’m including a little piece wrote by my best friend Farah on my birthday:
“… Jason has a big heart and is a generous guy, he is easy going, fun to be with and best of all, he doesn’t judge. I’m not sure if he doesn’t judge, of he’s just incapable of judging. But either way, it works well for him and others. I’m sure all of you can agree nobody doesn’t like Jason! He’s Mr Nice Guy! In fact, I’d call him Mr WAY TOO nice guy. He’s the best person to talk cock with, talk shit and at the same time, talk about intellectual stuff and life. I admire his openness to learning and willingness to stretch himself to grow. In other words, he takes life by the horns and embraces its teachings. For a 26 year old, he is a masters graduate and working in a managerial position already. He is living up to his age in terms of maturity …. but not the girlfriend and settling down part. So in THAT sense, you’re a 26 year old slacker!
To me, Jason is the best-est friend that I could ever ask for. We have been with each other through good times and bad, laughter and tears. He has never judged me which is something I highly value. I can talk to him about anything and everything and that’s what makes our friendship so special – the fact that we can totally be ourselves with each other and still have each others support and respect. We also keep ourselves in check and give each other feedback that helps us grow. There are not many friends who can have that with each other without maintaining the same level of comfort, but Jason and I have that that’s what makes our friendship special
Jason, I value your opinions, your company, your kindness, your XBOX … I could go on, but I would like to preserve some of the nice things for future birthday speeches. If everyday I were to write 5 things I’m grateful for, you’d be on that list every day. Thank you for being my best friend, my bro, thank you for existing, thank for you being in my life.
Lets raise your glasses to Jason, to friendship and to many more birthdays, cheers to an awesome guy all around .. “
